Comedian/actress Mo’Nique arrives at the seventh annual Hoodie Awards at the Mandalay Bay Events Center this weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Mo’Nique recently caught up with Life & Style magazine and spoke about her 40 pound weight loss.
The Parkers star, who went from 262 to 220 pounds, says her weight has plateaued short of her goal, but she isn’t discouraged. “I want to lose more, so I’ll just keep eating better and exercising, and the weight will come off,” she says. “It took time to put in on, and it will take time to take if off.” But don’t expect Mo, 41, to get scary-skinny any time soon. “It’s still okay to be big, but let’s be big and healthy,” she says. “I had to lose some weight to get healthier because I want to be around for a while. I have twin sons who are 3 and a son who is 19, and I want the opportunity to meet their children.”
Next up for Mo’Nique, the highly anticipated new movie, Precious and her upcoming BET Talk show – set to air later on this year.

@43 – Icosign
THANK YOU BLACKICE! Im a slender woman, Im 5’8″ and 127 lbs and I can WOOORK. Im tired of mostly Black chicks who are bigger trying to get on me about not being thick and etc. You can be slim and have T&A. Im a 34 C watchu know about that? and Ive got an ass that can fill out jeans properly so dont get it twisted thinking just because someone is slender they dont have assets. You can still be healthy and have your curves! And the whole “MEN LOVE THICK/FAT WOMEN IDEAL”…get over it. Not everyman does thats why theres plenty of modelizing male entertainers out there. Thank you
Black woman need to get healthy! Its not even about the numbers on the scale really but its about what you eat and drink.Reduce the fat, theres no need for meat everyday! Its SO unhealthy. Hit the gym, my sister and I are the only black chicks I see at our gym. Drop going to the mall everyday and go work on your fitness. Your body will love you for it. And stop with the fast food joints, please please please
Good for her and I’m glad she’s losing and eating healthier but what happened to all that fat girl power. If you dared to say anything about fat people she was ready to chew your damn head off.
She used to get very offensive if anyone talked about fat people.
@blackice
Since you tell your girl she needs to drop some weight, put up a pic of what you look like? And if she doesn’t drop the weight, what then?
IM SO ANGRY WID HER IM WRITING LYK IM CRAZY LMAO
Monique is looking good and now all she has to do is tighten up those arms and she will be fab
Healthy Come in all shapes and sizes period. Some people have a naturally large frame I was/and am 200 lbs 5’9 (my senior year in high school) and ran track and both high school and college. Very active and fit.
God Simply made me a Big Gurl…
I aint mad, My Man aint either.
Lets Stress health not size.
Monique wants to be healthier…You Go. Personally her head looks too big for her body or something,
But still a Beautiful Black Woman.
I think that Mo looks great. She not ashy looking like Star Jones. She looks vibrant. I still think she is going to be thick but keep up the good work Mo. I think the dress would look better without the flamingo bottom.
something off in her face but damn her ta tas sag im glad she be healthly
she looks great..healthy and happy
Glad Monique is eating healthier now. I worked with her very down to earth Lady. Teena Marie my fav female singer met her a few months very sweet lady also…
Teena Marie is the worst “professional singer” I’ve ever heard; goes to show that it’s not always so much as what you know or even who you know, but who you sleep with.
SHE LOOKS HORRID! I THOUGHT SHE WAS ALL FOR OVERSIZED WOMAN!! THATS WHY HER TITS ARE SAGGING AND SINCE SHE STARTED LOSING SHE SHOULD GET A LIFT ON THOSE WATERMELONS.
I love Tina Marie, but she looks likes the Everybody Loves Raymond wife, Patricia Heaton.
i STRONGLY think she should stop! she is starting to get that Star Jones look. im a medium build young lady but my bigger friends really used to look up to her and so did I until she lost the weight! don’t motivate BIG girls to feel comfortable when you don’t and lose wieght. they can’t afford personal trainers and a nutritionist! PLEASE STOP. this aint lookin so hot boo!
She’s looking great! I LOVEEEE Kym’s hair!
This sudden change of heart (no pun intended) does seem hypocritical but couldn’t be avoided. Now she needs to make up for all the woman she fooled into thinking there was nothing wrong with being overweight.
Trust me, I have nothing against big women, being a thick one myself, but it is possible to be big and not over the “overweight” line.
HER A** IS FAT A** HELL. SHE NEED TO GO ON A DAM DIET. HATING A** FAT NASY A** BI*CH ALWAYS TALKING BOUT SKINNY PEOPLE. LOOK AT HER FAT A**SS EXPICALLY IN THE FIRST PIC. SHE LOOK JUST LIKE MS. PIGGY. I DONT LIKE FAT B**TCHES THAT’S ALWAYS TALKEN SHI*T. GO ON A DIET. AND STOP EATING. SHE IS NOT CUTE AT ALL AND THATS REAL TALK.
iii LOVE MO’NIQUE!!!!! bt boo boo a bra wudnt hv hurted… stl lukn gud tho…
she waited too long to lose the weight another star jones i see
Let me say this: I don’t give a damn what anyone says, but Monique’s head is f*n too big for her body already and that was just a 20 lb drop! let’s see what she’ll do next about her head! Luv yaself and do what you need to do to be a HEALTHY YOU= Heal thy self! Stop worrying about the masses, and listen to your own damn body! It tells u the truth= when you’re out of breath, when you’re lightheaded (low blood), hypertension, or knees hurt from the weight….that could be anyone of you (fat or skinny) …tone that body body girlfriendzzz fa ya self (gotta want ya self before he does) Live for Y.O.U= Y.ou O.nly, U.nderstood
Bc don’t get it twisted, SMALL/SKINNY/SLIM DOES NOT = healthy
Get it right!
p.s. it’s not LAZINESS, no excuses, or just plain happiness with being fat….sometimes it’s just not as easy to lose the weight as quickly as you put it on
Nor does everyone sit on the couch, at the table, or drive from a fastfood restaurant
I’ve been on both sides, so that’s how I can relate…but do you Mo’ just remember Luther and nem
CUTE!
KONGRATULATIONZ, MO’NIQUE!!!
AWESOME Post.
LOVIN’ your Background!!!
Keep Blogging!!!
Monique looks great! Keep it up!
I like MONIQUE regardless; i respect her as an human being……ententainer…..woman……mother. I see no flaws. I read some of the comments about her boobyz…..but guess what…each one of us have flaws!! Yeah..after pusing out 4 beautiful boys…i was fat az hell!!! Monique gave me the encouragement to where heels and be BIG AND SEXY WIT IT!!!! When I did it… I did it well and wore my sex appeal like a second skin (but dont get it f**cked up I did the damn thing!). Then I lost weight came down to 167 (from 220 lbs)…. AND GUESS WHAT ITZ NO DIFFERENT!!! But I do love being healthy and Im glad she chose losing weight for health worthwhile. I wish the best for all the readers…. its hard enough just trying to be a human being… lets not down one another….just lay back and love yourself!!!!
Mo’nique is a hypocrite. She lost weight because she wanted to look like all those “skinny bitches” she always hated on. Have you ever seen a fat person naked? it’s disgusting
