Renowned tennis player Serena Williams confronts a common issue faced by many women – post-pregnancy weight gain. After the birth of her second daughter, Adira River Ohanian, Serena embarked on a mission to shed the extra pounds.
Sharing her journey on social media, Williams posted a video documenting her weight loss progress while trying on a denim skirt to assess how far she has come and to maintain a positive yet realistic outlook.
Serena Chronicles Her Fitness Journey
Embarking on a weight loss regime, Serena chose to share her progress with her followers.
In the video, Serena expresses hope and gratitude at the start:
“Alright. Here we are again, denim skirt. Let’s see where I’m at. This has been a very long journey. So thank you for joining me on this tough journey.”
Approaching the denim skirt with anticipation and humor, Williams maintains a positive attitude despite acknowledging there’s still work to be done.
With a light-hearted demeanor, she tries to fit into the skirt, saying a prayer for success before pulling it over her athletic romper. She remains optimistic even though there’s room for improvement.
Williams successfully gets the skirt up to her waist and humorously comments on the remaining challenge.
Her sincerity shines through as she acknowledges the hurdles and celebrates her progress:
“All right. Well, we’ve made a lot of progress. Look at this. OK. I can almost, yeah, I can actually button it, but you know, I might need to check that in only another few weeks.”
In April 2017, Serena announced her first pregnancy through an image on Snapchat and on September 1, 2017, she welcomed her first daughter, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr. At the 2023 Met Gala, Serena Williams disclosed her second pregnancy. Her youngest daughter, Adira River Ohanian, was born in August 2023.
Despite the snug fit of the skirt, Williams stays resolute and optimistic about achieving her weight loss objective, making the denim skirt her next target to conquer.
