Briefly News spoke to Thapelo Molomo who is currently in the USA on a music tour and he said being far from home has helped him to focus on his goal. He said:
"I've struggled to lose weight for a couple of years and I had to be far in order for that to happen. Am currently in the USA on a music tour. That alone inspired me that is easier when you focus and be determined only I can do it and no product or gym instructor but me."
The singer also shared his intense gym routine and said he is eating healthy.
"I go to the gym 6 days a week and I eat as healthy as I can especially greens since they contribute more to weight loss."
Fitness expert weighs in on Thapelo's journey
Speaking exclusively with Briefly News, Mothusi Maepa, founder of the Fitness Corner and Certified Personal Trainer at Loftus VA said it is important to remain consistent in one's fitness journey. He said:
"Yes, consistency is important in exercising because that is one of the few factors from which one will likely see results. From a personal trainer's perspective, motivation comes from within a person; that mostly boils down to a client seeing results and being disciplined.
"As a personal trainer, I can often help clients understand the importance of consistency by educating them about the benefits of exercise, making them understand the importance of involving others for support (i.e., spousal support, gym partner ), etc.
"So in a nutshell, a person who goes to the gym needs to understand that motivation comes from within, and there’s a need to understand that consistency will always yield results, and that goes hand in hand with discipline."

Busiswa’s dramatic weight loss spark online frenzy
In more entertainment news, Briefly News reported that Busiswa showed up at the beach looking like a completely new woman. It's pretty obvious that she's been grinding hard on losing weight. Three photos of the Lahla hitmaker are making the rounds on the internet, and they've got people talking.
Her super supportive fans were impressed by her weight loss and swooned over her leaner body. Some ladies couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy, wondering how on earth the mother of one managed to slim down so much in such a short time.
