Actress Mo'nique loses 80 pounds through diet and exercise. She looks greats...but is seemingly critical of weight loss surgery. While I applaud her success...I wish she was more supportive for individual choices. After all, it's the final results that ultimately count. http://www.today.com/entertainment/monique-lost-80-pounds-after-tipping-300-1C9965346

Well if she is one of the 2% of people who can lose a significant amount of weight and keep it off without surgery then more power to her.

She might find her self eating her words one day. (pun intented...)

How many of us know of people who said "When I become a parent (or fill in the blank here______) I will NEVER allow my child to have a tantrum (or ______) in the grocery store." Yeah, until you BECOME a parent and realize what an idiot you were for saying "NEVER" haha!

Time will be the ultimate test for her.

I'm pretty sure it came out that she did have by-pass, not sure how her credibility will be. I won't be looking to her for recipes or help, start with lies that it for me.

Good for her! I lost 80 pounds in 6 months on WWs and it all came back plus some with the stress of kids, family, work, etc. I would probably have been much more able to keep it off longer with the help of a personal chef, personal trainer, enough money to spend hours in the gym and someone to take care of all my familial obligations so I could focus 100% on me.

I lost nearly 200 lbs on weight watchers 6 years ago and gained it all back and then some...I said the same things she did..telling people that surgery was the easy way out...well now that I'm a bout to have the sleeve and reading about what I need to do before and after and for the rest of my life I can say there is no "easy"way out.im having the majority of my stomach removed!!!how is that easy??i don't wish anyone ill will.i need a boundary bigger then counting points in my life.i wish that wasn't the case.dont me mad at Monique.she just doesn't know what the rest of her life will look like yet...those of us that have lost weight and gained it back know the torment.we are just trying to save our lives.
