Mo'Nique, actress, comedian, TV hostess, talked with with People about hitting her highest weight at 262 pounds in 2006. She was diagnosed with high blood pressure and was warned that her weight could be life threatening.

Mo'Nique, 41, embarked on a new way of eating. The mom of 4-year old twins and a 19-year old is 20 pounds short of her goal to lose 65 pounds. She acknowledges that she is still a plus size but is fine being a size 14 when she was originally at a size 20.

She cut out food like cake, cookies, and chips, and traded red meat and fried foods for fresh fish. She drinks a gallon of water every day. She also hired a personal trainer.  Erica Sammy got her into shape.  At the gym Mo'Nique does a combination of cardio, stretching, and weight training.
