Honey Boo Boo Weight Loss Journey:

Did Honey Boo Boo lose a bunch of weight?

“Now that June is firmly committed to eating a healthy, balanced diet herself, she’s keen to get her kids on board. It helps that it would make for a great TV show too!” 

Mama June was hoping to get Alana a weight loss TV show but instead the 12-year-old has always been open about embracing her body and her curves. The child star wasn’t open to eating healthy while her mom was losing weight — and it didn’t help that her dad, Mike “Sugar Bear” Thompson and his new wife Jennifer Lamb aren’t on board either. The family got into an explosive fight after they sent Alana home with sweets and junk food, which no longer allowed in Mama June’s home.

Back in April, Mama June spoke from example when she told People that she didn’t want Alana or her 17-year-old daughter Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon to go through what she went through when she was overweight. Even if Honey Boo Boo isn’t happy about doing a weight loss show, her mom is determined to get her daughters on track to living a healthier lifestyle.

“I’ve seen Pumpkin and Alana lose and gain weight, but I don’t want them to end up like I did at 460 lbs,” she said. “Alana is super against the new TV show,” the insider continued. “She doesn’t want to lose weight or to start eating salads and exercising. She’s quite happy the way she is, thank you very much. But, June is pretty determined, and where there’s a will there’s a way.”

Back then the 4 ft. 6″ tall 9-year-old girl was around 125 pounds at the time and was labelled “obese” by The Doctors according to her BMI. Although Mama June initially defended her daughter’s weight as being due to steroid medication, towards the end of the intervention, Honey Boo Boo and her mom seemed excited about a possible weight loss. 

In March 2017, Honey Boo Boo openly spoke about embracing her curves after resisting suggestions from Mama June’s doctor of changing her eating patterns or routine. 

“Mama’s on this diet, but I’m not, boo boo. I like my curves. … I mean, seriously, this dude is really crazy.” “I’m not jumping on any bandwagon, unless it has cheeseburgers and stuff,”she said confidently when the doctor advised the family to stay away from fried and fattening foods.

I promise you”, Mama June said, speaking from experience.
