Jordin Sparks, The Masked Dancer – 50 Pounds.

Jordin Sparks loved her fuller figure. In fact, she has been an icon of fuller figure women around the world since winning American Idol in 2007. But as she grew older and her body and health started needing more attention, she decided that she needed to make some changes to her perception and lifestyle.

Weight loss was part of that solution, and she started eating more consciously and keeping track of meals. She also takes time out to hit the gym, losing an impressive 50 pounds during her journey. Sparks last released an album in 2020 called Cider & Hennessy. She was also featured in a 2021 episode of The Masked Dancer.

Mo’Nique, The Reading – 100 Pounds

There’s nothing wrong with some curves. This is exactly what comedian Mo’Nique subscribed to when she was working the comedy scene. It even suited her for her Oscar-winning showing in Precious and her sassy role in the sitcom The Parkers. She was doing fine until she was diagnosed with high blood pressure and diabetes.

This prompted her into action and, believing that weight loss is about happiness and health, she set about a weight loss journey. She removed fried food and sugar from her diet and got a personal trainer, focussing on weight training and cardio. She also started dancing. Her next film is a 2021 production called The Reading.
