Mo'Nique announced she weighs less than 200 lbs. for the first time since she was 17.
The Oscar winner, 50, posted videos and photos to celebrate the milestone via her Instagram on Thursday.
'Hey my loves. Under 200lbs. We can do it. Believe you can. Don't happen overnight but it happens,' she captioned the pic of herself looking trim in a black tank top.
'I said that I would share this journey with y’all, the weight loss and getting healthy,” Mo’nique said in the posted video.
'And today when I got on the scale, since I was 17 years old, I’ve been over 200 lbs. Today was the first time in my adult life that I’ve been under 200 lbs.
'So I wanted to let y’all know it’s possible, we can do it and we can get there,' she added as her hair was pulled back in a bun allowing her youthful face to shine.
And the Precious star explained she eschewed weight loss gimmicks and relied on hard work.
'For me it was with no surgery, no pre-packaged foods, not listening to no spokespeople saying "it’s easy, you can do it."
'It was just putting in the work and not giving up on me,' she explained.
The video included a snap of the scale registering 198.4 and a picture of a healthy pizza as the actress believes 'RAW FOOD IS THE TRUTH'.
Mo'nique also shared a clip of herself getting in some exercise by dancing with a trainer to an upbeat rhythm.
'So I want to share with y’all what it looked like on the scale this morning, and I want to share with y’all the goodness that you can eat and still drop this weight.
'It’s called raw foods, it’s called dancing your pounds off. It’s called giving yourself the chance to live the best life you can live. Thank you all for sharing my journey.'
