‘You Look Fantastic’: Loni Love Shows Off Her 37-Pound Weight Loss 

Loni Love shocked fans recently after revealing her dramatic weight loss transformation.

In the Facebook post shared on Sept. 8, the comedian, who lost 37 pounds, uploaded before and after pictures of previous projects she was a part of to showcase how much her physical features changed within a span of four months.

Without disclosing any details about how she lost the weight, Love wrote in the caption, “To date I’m down 37 lbs ( still a long way to go) .. the top pic filmed April 2022… the bottom pic was filmed Aug 2022.. @mentoringqueens will air. This weekend. Check your local listing… take your time, make little changes. You can hit your goals…”

As fans viewed the post, many congratulated the 51-year-old on her weight loss. In addition to the well-wishes, one individual expressed that Love’s upload motivates them on their journey. 

“You look fantastic. Thank you for being an inspiration.”

“You are so beautiful no matter what you weigh! Congratulations on your change though. I know that it can be very hard to lose weight but you are rocking it! Thank you for being someone who can motivate others, including me.”

“Way to go! You’ve always looked amazing, but, I hope that now you Feel amazing!”

“Go in then Loni! We Love you regardless, but we love you more when you love all of yourself! Keep loving on yourself, we loving right with you! Keep up the good work!”

“Great job 37 pounds is a big deal keep up the amazing work we are proud.”

Among the previous remarks, a couple of social media users brought up how they could see the weight loss difference in Love’s face. One wrote, “I can really tell especially in your face. Keep up the amazing work. You can do this.”

Another said, “Yasssss, I could see it in your face lady..keep up the great journey to success..”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
