If you were shocked at Mama June Shannon's weight-loss on her WEtv "From Not to Hot" reveal, wait until you see her now. The "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" star lost another 23 pounds, bringing her to 137 pounds from 460 pounds! That's a grand total of 323 pounds shed since bariatric surgery in 2015 and skin removal plastic surgery later. June recently redid a Baywatch photoshoot in the iconic red swimsuit and boasted a size 4. Some are questioning help from an airbrush and Photoshop, but no one's denying the reality TV star's transformation.
Mama June is Baywatch babe
Shannon claimed to end the "From Not to Hot" season at 160 pounds for a 300-lb weight-loss tally. From her former obesity on "Honey Boo Boo," that was some feat. Along with gastric bypass surgery, the reality TV star underwent a tummy tuck, plastic surgery skin removal and breast implant procedure. The boob job highlights the breasts and makes the stomach appear smaller in comparison. The cosmetic surgeon felt that the two procedures complemented each other and they certainly helped her "Baywatch" image.
Mama June continues eating junk food
How do reality television stars do it? Khloe and Kim Kardashian are always seen eating on "KUWTK," yet both bragged of weight-loss on Instagram.
After Mama June's fabulous 300-lb weight-loss, she said she would keep on eating the junk food she so loves. In an interview for People, the interviewer saw June Shannon consume lots of carbs and junk food. There was an on-going breakfast buffet and another for lunch. This might have been an off day for dieting but June's attitude suggested that mindless indulgence was habitual.
Yet, after "From Not to Hot" the "Honey Boo Boo" star dropped another 23 pounds.
Mama June has cake and weight-loss too?
June vowed not to give up junk food and she wouldn't have to per se, but she will have to limit it. After gastric bypass surgery, the stomach is only 20 percent of what it was. There's literally no room to overeat.
Yet many people do. Sean Milliken of "My 600-lb Life" managed to gain the 300 pounds he lost after bariatric surgery. "From Not to Hot" viewers watched June binge on wedding cake samples that Jennifer Lamb (wife of June's ex "Sugar Bear") sent for Honey Boo Boo. Then there was the famous scene in which Shannon took the girls out for ice cream and her breast implants were hit on. She and a first date went to a buffet restaurant too. The WEtv mom told Wendy Williams she's down to 137 pounds. Is Mama June that lucky dieter who can eat her cake and lose weight too? Or is on-again, off-again dieting going to cause yo-yo weight gain?
