The Mo'Nique Show: 2009: Update

Mo'Nique has a new talk show primering tonight 11/10 Central on BET. Here is the link to the official show site. Below is a clip about her weight loss being about living a long life versus vanity.

Well I watched the first show. It was a positive show. Yet it was erratic. Maybe it will grow on me.

My favorite part of the show were her plus size opening dancers.

Mo'Nique's Trigger to Lose Weight

Above is the infomous Mo'Nique doing the Crazy in Love dance.

Mo'Nique says she decided to start living healthier after a wake-up call from her husband, Sidney Hicks. "I was very comfortable at 262 pounds," she says. "I'm in the bathroom mirror one day admiring 262. And Sid says to me when he comes out of the shower, 'Mama, how much do you weigh?' I said, '262.' And he said, 'Mmm.'"

Mo'Nique says she knew something was coming next. "He said to me in the most gentle, loving way, 'I want you for a lifetime,'" she says. "Baby, I started working out right then."

I love me some Mo'Nique. She is so real. First I am happy that she is so deep in love that she will tell her husband her real rate. I am also happy, that she listen to his words objectively and not just get defensive. I am striving to her.

I only recently let my husband look at the scale while I was on it. I still couldn't tell him my weight aloud. I also went off on my husband last night when he suggested that I go to sleep before 1 am since I am always complaining about being tired. In hindsight he did make sense so I apologized to him this morning, because I did feel better after sleep.

Also, note she will appear on Oprah on August 28, 2009

Mo'Nique Sets the Record Straight

I saw Mo'Nique last night at the Beacon Theater. She looked so awesome. She was representing for the Big Girls. She had this hot pink number on. She looked every bit Red Carpet ready. At the beginning of the show she set the record straight on here recent weight loss.

She says she has not undergone weight loss surgery. She also stated that she was currently 224lbs. I do believe that was her current weight for two reasons:

1. 5 minutes into the show she took off her high heel shoes and did the remainder of the show barefoot.


2. I also believe this because home girl had sweat marks all over her dress by the end of the show.

Yet, with that said, she never seemed to have to stop and catch her breath in between jokes and sight gags. So my props go out to Mo'Nique for getting healthy without going Hollywood diet crazy.

She is also losing weight slowly because she state her weight as 232lbs in her October 2008 article for Essence Magazine .

Top 5 Celebs I would like to look like

Top 5 Celebs I would like to look like:

1. Nia Long
2. Toni Braxton
3. Mariah Carey
4. Janet Jackson
5. Mo'Nique

But her are the top 5 reaons why it will never happen:

1. Nia, Toni, and Janet are about 6 inches shorter then me.
2. I can't handle the yo-yo life of Janet Jackson. My heart couldn't take it. Its seems if she eat one thing she gets heavy again.
3. I don't have a tailor like Mo'Nique so my curves are hugged by my clothes and not hanging on my curves.
4. I don't have 6 hours a day to work out.
5. I am not to big on discipline. Both Janet and Mariah have been qouted to say that discipline got them where they are in weight loss goals.
