The revelation of Tamela Mann’s weight loss came in 2019. She took to her Twitter on April 23, 2019, to reveal that she’s lost well over 12 lbs or 5.4 kg of body mass on her Weight Watchers journey.

Though she’d already revealed her weight loss details previously, her major announcement was on September 4, 2019, when she declared that she was officially 40 lbs or 18.14 kg lighter.

According to Mann, her like-minded family and the support of her fans is the number 1 reason for her body transformation. Did you know that her daughter, Tiffany Mann, also accompanied Tamela on her weight loss journey?
Why did Mann Join Weight Watchers?

Tamela Mann Weight Loss Secrets!
Diet control and weight loss were the two reasons Tamela Mann lost a ton of weight. Get to know about her weight loss secrets below.
Diet Control
The American singer’s weight loss was all thanks to her Weight Watchers diet. She controlled her eating habits after she joined the WW weight loss program, which provided her with 24/7 access of a virtual trainer. The program is based on a Smart Point System, which is based on her age, gender, and other body measurements.
Her coach guided her about what she could eat. The machine-generated trainer also chose what went on her plate at restaurants and parties based on her liking. With that, she also revealed that she’s learned to allot her meals into small chunks. Now, when she ate a turkey sandwich, she distributed it into two meals.
Mann was always a cheese lover but, now, she’s learned to eat without the eggs. She still consumes snacks, but her snacks aren’t the usual ones. She enjoys snacks from the WW itself.
All in all, Tamela loves the WW diet system because she can choose from a wide variety of fruits. She also thinks this dietary program from Weight Watchers is a lifestyle change rather than just being a diet.
Fitness Regimen and Surgery
Let’s talk about her surgery first; she had to undergo a double knee replacement surgery just a few months after she started her weight loss journey. This meant that she couldn’t work out at the gym. On July 18, 2019, she took to her Instagram to share about her successful knee surgery.
The wife of David Mann revealed that though she couldn’t perform any physical activities, it was high time for her as she focused her might on her diet and mental wellness. By August 20, 2019, Tamela had already recovered from the surgery and could walk without a cane.
Following this, she partnered with her WW coach to help her in recovery and losing weight. Her fitness guru, whom she thought could really be her sister, had a rough time in her past regarding weight loss. So, this really encouraged her to work hard.
That’s why I’m really pushing and wanting to do this and to encourage other people to do it with me.
