Mo’Nique Imes-Jackson – Raw Food Diet and Dancing

Mo’Nique Imes-Jackson never worried about her weight until she learned she had high blood pressure. The fear of losing her life over a very manageable condition got her thinking about her life’s choices. From there, the 51-year-old embarked on a new journey to lose weight as she never wanted to leave her children and husband just yet.

Now, Imes-Jackson is happy to report and share that she is 90 pounds lighter and looking better than ever. She credits her raw food diet and dance training with her trainer, Dwight Holt II. In a post on Instagram, the comedian revealed her organic weight loss journey didn’t involve surgery, pre-packaged foods, or even turning to spokespeople who often said: “it’s easy, and you can do it.” For her, it was putting in the work and never giving up on herself. She knew that it would be challenging, but she worked even harder to achieve her goal.
