One of Sherri's latest fitness obsessions isn't something you'll find in your average gym. Instead, the star has been roller skating her way to better health in parks, at roller rinks, and even in her home—and sharing all the highlights with her followers.
"Who's going to teach me to skate!!!" she captioned a photo of herself looking rink ready in a pair of pink skates and denim shorts.
She's been eating healthier meals, too.

Sherri, who has been open about living with type 2 diabetes, says that changing her eating habits has been a major part of her recipe for weight loss, as well.
On May 25, Sherri shared a recipe for one of her favorite healthy salads on Instagram, telling her followers how changing her eating habits has also changed her perspective on her overall health.
"Do I want a #2 with fries. Yes I do, but I love how I feel better more than that cheeseburger that would be clogging my arteries & inflaming the tissue around my heart, causing diabetes to choke the life out of me. I kind of like this feeling of feeling good!" she wrote. "Just want to encourage you to put down the salt shaker, add more veggies to your plate and drink more water! You've got so much to live for!"
She says inner peace has been instrumental in helping her lose weight.

It's not just diet and exercise that have helped Sherri get into amazing shape. The star says that getting into a healthier mental space has been essential for her to achieve her weight loss goals.
"Started this weight loss journey 8 mos ago, but making other changes in my life helped me lose even more lbs… getting consistent sleep, meditation, finding a great therapist to help me unpack hurt… forgiving those who've done me harm… more acceptance… less religion & more relationship… discovering that God loves me no matter what (yeah I am freaky and I curse?), more water, more walking… being thankful, finding my worth… saying no… had to say goodbye to some friends who weren't good for me," she captioned a recent Instagram photo. "Peace makes the weight fall off."
