Ming-Na Wen, 61, isn’t showing off a typical costume this Halloween. Instead, she’s flaunting her impressive abdomen in a festive sports bra on social media, and proudly shared that her “current body” is her “costume” this year. The actress donned a matching workout set with black, white and orange colors for the holiday, as she posed on her front lawn with her blow-up decorations. She finished her sporty look off with black sneakers and shoulder-length black hair.
The entertainer has been open about her weight loss journey online. She revealed that she’s lost eight pounds after she began consistently working out two months ago. Ming-Na credited her “daily exercises while watching T.V. for her new look,” with the actress admitting that her workouts go faster thanks to addictive Chinese dramas which are her “jam at the moment.”
The performer acknowledged that it’s been a difficult road, but she’s incredibly proud of the progress she’s made so far. She expressed: “Still got a flabby belly, but it’s flatter! It’s been SLOW GOING!! I used to BLINK and lose five lbs!” The 61-year-old revealed that her age at times comes with specific obstacles.
She added: “Even building muscles is sooo difficult. Add in the issues of hormonal changes that slow down metabolism & motivation. It’s been a [expletive] to stay on course!! (Yeah, menopause sucks!)”
Ming-Na is continuing to cheer herself on, as well as her followers, as she wrote: “I’m proud I stuck with my goal to get fit. You can too! Just gotta decide to start.”
She provided her fans with a long-term solution and explained: “The trick is working out every day. The treat is eating healthy foods. So go easy on the candy this Halloween. Yeah, I’m mean & evil, but I’m feeling healthy these days which is key to happiness & well-being.”
Her followers saluted the actress in the comments for her transformation. One person wrote: “LOOKING GOOD MAMA!!! You rock girl.” A second person added: “Happy Halloween! I love how real you stay in the caption. You’re such an inspiration.” She has helped motivate others to get started on their own weight loss journeys too.
