Mo’Nique an American comedian and actress has made a career out of embracing her body weight or at least helping others who are struggling with their body issues, especially women.
The actress just hit a major weight loss milestone – she’s now celebrating under 200 lbs. for the first time in adult life (over 33 years).
Since bursting onto the small Television screen in 1999, with her featuring role on the CW hit show ‘The Parkers’ Mo’Nique has always openly spoken about her struggles with weight loss.
Shockingly the American actress and comedian weight up to 300 pounds around the time Mo’Nique filmed the 2009 film ‘Precious’.
But on Thursday, the Oscar winner showed off her new slim figure in an Instagram photos and videos and revealed her dramatic weight loss.
“Since I [was] 17 years old I’ve been over 200 pounds. Today was the first time in my adult life that I’ve been under 200 pounds”.
“I said that I would share this journey with y’all, the weight loss and getting healthy,” Mo’nique said in a video. “And today when I got on the scale, since I was 17 years old, I’ve been over 200 lbs. Today was the first time in my adult life that I’ve been under 200 lbs. So I wanted to let y’all know it’s possible, we can do it and we can get there.”
The American actress has been following a fitness regimen and has set personal goals along the way. Just a few days ago, she celebrates under 200lbs weight loss milestone for the first time since she was in fact a teenager.
The Parkers actress is not shy about showing off her impressive weight loss transformation.
The star further stated that she managed to lose weight without relying on gimmicks.
The comedian showed in her Instagram post that the scale read 198.4, a number the actress hasn’t seen since she was a teenager (17 years old).
Additonally, Mo’Nique has been filming her workouts on social media – in the midst of being at the center of a Netflix controversy.
The document further shows that the rules for weight loss were simple but it took a lot of hard work to get where the actress is now.
“For me it was with no surgery, no pre-packaged foods, not listening to no spokespeople saying ‘it’s easy, you can do it.’ It was just putting in the work and not giving up on me,”
But here the question is, exactly how she did it?
The Best Supporting Actress winner once weighed 300 pounds had gotten down to 218, three years after she accepted the 2010 best supporting actress Oscar for her role as Mary in Precious.
The star has been on a fitness mission, documenting her exercises on Instagram and sharing videos of her workout sessions with fans.
“I know [this] looks so simple, however baby my legs and butt is on fire,” she wrote about a quick clip of a high-intensity dance routine. “Things that we want to make complicated can be so simple.”
Through the show ‘The Mo’Nique Show’ on BET, Mo’Nique has been a source of inspiration to her fans all around the world and now even more by sharing her incredible weight loss journey.
Fans from all around the world always ask that what things motivates comedy queen in losing weight.
“I had to do it for husband and my children and get out of my own way. Those moments when you feel like you can’t go any further and you can!”
The ‘Precious’ actress has been inspiring others with her journey to stay healthy since last year, when she started sharing her weight loss photos on social media.
By far, Mo’Niques weight loss transformation is nothing short of an inspirational story.
Most people cannot even believe how she can drop over 80 pounds, but the comedy queen has made it possible by doing intense workouts.
Mo’Nique’s determination helps her succeed in reaching her goal.
Although, according to her, this is not the end of her journey.
The actress continues to inspire others who are also struggling by sharing her positive messages alongside workout routine videos on her Instagram page.
