Say Word! Mo’Nique Lost 80 Pounds!

Oscar-winning actress and comedian Mo'Nique is proudly showing off her newly slimmed-down physique.

The 45-year-old "Precious" actress has gotten serious about her health, even documenting her workout regimen in a series of Twitter snapshots and motivational messages for her thousands of followers.

"I tweet every morning," she said in an interview with radio station Hot 97. "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."

After taking home the Best Supporting Actress Oscar in 2010, Mo'Nique has been hard at work on slimming down, but without the Hollywood help she could easily get.

"If you put the work in, baby, I promise you, it comes off."



For her, "work" means the hard way - squats and push-ups, dancing and yoga - Monique seems to have done it all, and it's certainly paying off!

"The weight right now, when I got on a scale two weeks ago, was 218," she said, explaining that she started at around 300 lbs. "My goal is between 190 and 200."

"I am the best Mo'Nique I've ever been in my life right now," she added. "And I still have a ways to go. But I feel amazing."
