March 11, 2014 — -- Oscar-winner Mo'Nigue is back on film in a new movie "Blackbird" -- and she's looking better than ever.

The actress has lost more than 80 pounds over the past few years and is keeping off the weight. She hasn't been shy about it either -- posting pictures of her fitness routine on Twitter to inspire others.

The "Precious" star has been inspiring others with an insight into her journey to stay healthy since last year, when she started tweeting on behalf of Mo'Nique Worldwide.

The Best Supporting Actress winner once weighed 300 pounds and revealed last year she had gotten down to 218.
