Taking to Instagram, “The Real” co-host, 36, posted a video of herself modeling a strapless black bikini, sharing it as her “first post in a bathing suit since losing 20lbs.”

“During this time more than ever… Staying healthy is at the top of my mind!” Bailon began. “Now… I’ve lost weight before but always gained it back… because I was dieting & not changing my lifestyle!”

Bailon explained how she reached a point in her life when she was ready to embrace change, which included adapting to a plant-based diet.

“Well, I made major changes like choosing to eat plant based 🌱 changing my whole relationship with food & working out!” Bailon detailed, also stressing the importance of “self-discipline.”

“I’ve been consistent with my self discipline (although it’s been so hard at times). I’m constantly reminding myself that the greatest form of self love – is self discipline,” she continued.

Bailon also encouraged fans to “take this time to develop healthy habits!”

“Drink your water, squat, rest, read, pray, take your vitamins, eat your veggies! (Preaching to myself to keep going! Lol.) It’s a new month! Let’s do this!” she wrote.

In response to her bikini snap, Bailon received praise from her famous fans and followers.

“YES ADE!!! U look strong and glowy!” Jeannie Mai, also of “The Real,” posted.

“Goals!” TV personality Evelyn Lozada exclaimed.
