The 57-year-old emphasized the importance of perseverance in her marriage and health. “AS WE STAND TOGETHER 20 YEARS LATER WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE AT LEAST 40 MORE TOGETHER AND TO DO THAT WE MUST CONTINUE TO PUT THE WORK IN IF YOU HAVE SOMEONE IN YOUR LIFE WORTH FIGHTING FOR THEN FIGHT FOR THEM AS THEY FIGHT FOR YOU IN THE MOST LOVING, GENTLE, KIND WAY I LOVE US 4REAL!” she shared.

Mo’Nique’s weight loss journey began over a decade ago, with the actress documenting her progress on social media since 2013. That year, she revealed losing 80 pounds. Her commitment to fitness and wellness has remained a consistent theme in her public updates.
In a 2013 interview with New York’s Hot 97 FM, Mo explained her mission to inspire women her size. “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,” she said.
