When Timbaland first came onto the music scene back in the ’90s, he was considered one of hip-hop’s huskier men and remained so for years after his debut. But it’s been more than 20 years since Timbo’s freshman days in hip-hop and like his music, his physique has changed throughout the decades as well. Now fans can see just how much Timbaland has transformed over the years because he recently posted a shocking photo of his weight loss transformation.
Last night, Timbaland went on Instagram and shared an astonishing spit screen photo of himself before and after his weight loss transformation. Timbo also revealed to his fans that he’s lost more than 100 pounds since last year.
“This past eight months I’ve lost over 130 pounds. With a positive mindset I knew I had to take the initiative to make myself happy and healthy. When you realize that the only thing that is getting in the way of your goal is self-doubt, you’ll want to push yourself harder. You got to do this for you. This is for you. This isn’t about anybody. Live for you. Honor you. Never lose sight of that. #everythingyoudo #workhard #teamtimbo,” Timbaland captioned the photo.
This isn’t the first time that Timbaland has shocked the world with a dramatic weight loss. Back in the ’00s, Timbaland famously decided to get rid of his extra weight by working out. After months of intensive exercise, Timbaland emerged as a buffed up beefcake whose muscles seemed to rival those of other hip-hop heavyweights like LL Cool J and 50 Cent.
Although Timbaland seemed to have gained the weight back in recent years, it’s obvious that he didn’t completely lose that burning desire to be fit.
All we can say is congratulations to Timbaland on the miraculous weight loss and, hopefully, his story will inspire some of his fans to make their health and wellness a priority as well.
