Mika dela Cruz proudly shared that she has shed the “weight that her health conditions brought her” after she went from 139 pounds (63 kilograms) to 106 pounds (48 kilograms).
Dela Cruz gave a glimpse into her transformation through an Instagram post featuring various clips that showed her past physique alongside her current body.
The actress is seen trying on her old, large clothes that appear to be oversized and loose for her figure now.
“Trust me, I’ve tried everything in my power to lose the weight my health conditions brought me. 5 years of back and forth, going to different people, working out for hours everyday, spending so much on different diet programs and medical methods but still nothing worked for me,” she wrote.

Dela Cruz at first believed losing weight was far from reality, given how the journey had become more difficult due to her “health struggles and systemic inflammation.”
“I had a hard time receiving all the bodyshaming to tell you the truth. It’s painful seeing my body being picked apart online and at times even in person because I knew that it was trying its hardest to get me through all the health struggles and systemic inflammation I had. I started feeling hopeless, hating my appearance to the point of hiding myself. I gave up on my weightloss journey thinking it would never be possible for me anymore,” she said.

The former “Goin’ Bulilit” star said letting Jesus handle the process made her realize how things can fall right into place.
“Eventually I gave it to Jesus and I asked him to help me see myself the way that he did. I started inclining my ears to listen to what He thinks and says about me. Not what the world keeps on throwing at me. I learned to trust in his perfect timing for everything and right when I wasn’t trying to impose change on myself anymore,” she stated.
Dela Cruz also thanked her doctor, who helped her with her weight management as well as her loved ones who supported her on her journey. She said those who are seeking help can come to her as well.
“Definitely one of the biggest plot twists of my 2025. We are off to a great start! If you have any questions or wanna know more about the health-struggles that I went through or how this process looked, please comment down below and I’ll respond to them,” she concluded her post.
In the comments section, Alexa Ilacad, the former girlfriend and on-screen partner of Dela Cruz’s now-husband Nash Aguas, praised her for her weight-loss journey.
“SLAYYY!!! Great job!!” said Ilacad.
Dela Cruz and Aguas tied the knot in an intimate ceremony held in Tagaytay last year. Three months into marriage, the couple moved into their new home. /ra
