Fans called Mo'Nique 'gorgeous' and 'inspirational.'
This isn't the first time Mo'Nique has opened up about her weight loss journey. She began documenting her path on social media in 2013, revealing that it led to her losing 80 pounds.
"Got in steps and 50 sit-ups. Did you give you, your best self today? Don't you deserve the BEST YOU. Love yall," she shared in one of her motivational posts back then.
Mo'Nique has been vocal about her fitness journey for over a decade.
In a May 2013 interview on New York's Hot 97 FM, she explained her decision to share her health and wellness journey.
"Because I want women to see — especially us big women — that you don't have to let them cut you and suck it out. You don't have to let them staple you up. You don't have to let them give you a pill. You don't have to let them put a band around your organs," she shared.
In 2014, Mo'Nique reflected on what motivated her to prioritize her health, telling Hello Beautiful, "The journey's been amazing because it truly lets you know what you're made of. People always say, 'Mo'Nique, what motivates you?' I had to do it for my husband and my children. And I had to get out of my own way."
