Mo’Nique – Physical Activities

Critically-acclaimed actress Mo’Nique is best known for her role as Mary Lee Johnston in the 2009 American drama film Precious. Most people see her as an inspiration for their weight loss journey. Since she debuted on CW TV show The Parkers in 1999, viewers witnessed her open struggle about her weight. The actress found herself in a tight spot and struggled to control her expanding size. In fact, her accumulated weight amounted to 300 pounds at the time she was filming Precious. For a long time, she maintained her weight at above 200 pounds and struggled to reduce it.

More than reducing weight, Mo’Nique realized that good health is the best investment of all, and that’s when she decided to finally change her lifestyle. She engaged herself in physical activities such as hiking, yoga, boxing, and weightlifting. With these activities, she scrapped 100 pounds from her weight, and the actress couldn’t be any happier to finally weigh less than 200 pounds for the first time in her adult life.
