Ugandan media personality and content creator Martha Kay has opened up about her weight loss journey, describing it as a deeply personal transformation shaped by discipline, self-acceptance and resilience.

Martha, whose full name is Martha Kemigisha Kagimba, revealed that she has lost nearly 30kg over the past two years—dropping from 112kg in 2023 to 83kg in 2025.

Sharing before-and-after photos on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday, the 30-year-old reflected on the emotional weight behind the physical change.

“The girl on the left is my hero,” she wrote. “She paved the way for the woman I am today. She pushed through. She said, enough is enough. And she did the work because she knew no one was coming to save her. Her discipline became my freedom.”

The post has sparked widespread support online, with many commending Martha’s candour and courage.

Known for her energetic presence and humour on screen, Martha has in recent years also become a vocal advocate for self-love and mental wellbeing. In her latest post, she challenged her followers with a stark question: “How bad do you want your life to change? Because if you don’t want it bad enough, nothing is going to change.”

She credits her progress to quitting sugar, adopting intermittent fasting, and maintaining a consistent calorie deficit through regular physical activity.

Fellow media personalities were quick to respond. Journalist Faridah Nakazibwe wrote: “I love that you didn’t lose the smile. Well done, babygal.” TV host Viana Indi added: “You look absolutely gorgeous.”

And Faiza Fabz of ‘Sweet Treat’ fame commented: “Well done. You look amazing. Always have.”

It is not the first time Martha has spoken about her relationship with her body. In a candid Instagram post from 2023, she addressed long-held insecurities about the size of her legs, which she said had troubled her since childhood.

“These ginormous legs from my father’s sisters gave me such insecurity that I never wore anything short—ever,” she said. “I used to dress so badly in a bid to hide some body parts that my friend at uni said, ‘The man you end up with will love you for your heart because your looks are terrible.’ I froze.”

That moment, she said, stayed with her for years—but eventually led to a turning point.

“With a lot of self-affirmation and awareness, I recovered. Today, I think I have like five long dresses. The rest are short.”

Martha ended the earlier post with a message to young women struggling with self-image:

“Dear beautiful young girl, whatever body part it is you’re ashamed of, remember that it’s uniquely yours and it’s just perfect for you. God designed you that way, and it’s okay. Embrace it. Enjoy it.”
