The Funny Chef Shares Nature Reserve Photos and Weight-Loss Message

South African chef and entertainer Lebogang Tlokana, widely known as The Funny Chef, has shared a personal update on her weight-loss journey, pairing photos from a nature reserve with a message about patience and perseverance.

In the Instagram post, Tlokana reflected on how long her weight journey has been and cautioned against expecting change to happen overnight. She wrote: “this is where I am right now..

It took me about 25 years to gain weight…

It will definitely not take me 2 months to lose all the weight…

“don’t ever do that to yourself,keep going!!”

Not seeking any validation or approval but this is a promise to myself for myself!

Yah ka mmao ,it just goes to show that YOU CAN if you want to ,its not easy ,but you have to keep going!”

The post frames her progress as a commitment to herself rather than a bid for approval.

Her message encourages people to keep moving forward at their own pace, acknowledging that lasting change can take time and effort.

Tlokana’s update adds to her public discussion of weight loss. In earlier posts and interviews, she has spoken candidly about her motivations and the challenges that can come with sharing a personal transformation in public.

Her journey has attracted encouragement from fans and public figures, alongside online commentary about her changing appearance.

Known for blending food, humour and everyday storytelling, Tlokana built a large following with comedy skits delivered in Spitori, a dialect associated with Pretoria.

Her lively social media presence helped establish her as a distinctive voice in South African entertainment, while her work as a professional chef remains central to her public identity.

The nature reserve setting gives the latest post a quieter backdrop for a message focused on persistence.

Rather than presenting weight loss as a quick fix, Tlokana points to the years it took to gain weight and says it will take time to lose it. The emphasis is on continuing steadily, even when progress feels difficult.
