R&B Songstress and co-host of
Sister Circle Live, Syleena Johnson has recently shed
some serious pounds! The 41-year-old singer and TV personality lost 50 pounds in preparation for the Texas National Physique Committee (NPC Texas Cup)
in Waco, Texas. At the competition on December 7th, she won three
awards. Johnson took home 3rd place for Open, 5th place for True Novice,
and 6th place for Novice.
Johnson
revealed that she passed on one completion, The Lee Haney Games,
because she wasn’t physically ready. After sticking to a strict diet and
exercising with her personal trainer, she competed in her first fitness
competition, The NPC Texas Cup. She competed in
the Women’s Figure Category.
“This
has been a longtime dream of mine. This is not something I just woke up
yesterday and said I wanted to do,” she said. “I don’t want
to live this life and not do all of the things that I think I can do. I
just feel like we can accomplish our goals and dreams, all in this
life. And so that’s what I’m doing. I’m just pursuing all of the dreams
and desires and goals and wants that God puts
in my belly. Being a fitness competitor is one of them. I will continue
to compete hopefully with the grace of God, but the first competition, I
just want to get on the stage.”
