Save Download Preview LOS ANGELES – NOV 19: Lauryn Shannon, Mike “Sugar Bear”, Alana “Honey Boo Boo”, “Mama” June at the Premieres Of “Marriage Boot Camp Reality Stars” at Le Jardin on November 19, 2015 in Los Angeles, CA
A photo released this Thursday shows the amazing results of Mama June’s weight loss journey, as documented on WE tv’s Mama June: From Not to Hot.
Cameras began following the 37-year-old reality star in spring 2016 as she set out on her transformation – adopting a strict new diet and exercise regimen as well as undergoing several surgeries.
Her impressive new size 4 figure debuted on the show’s finale in April and today’s shot of June in a slinky little black dress really shows how far the star has come.
The photo that showcases June’s weight loss results was taken this summer, and is a simple shot featuring June in a form-fitting black dress with shoulder cutouts.
June once weighed 460 lbs. but as of 2016 has gotten down to 352 lbs. Amazingly, she has now gotten down to 132 lbs with a new look.
During the course of her WE tv series she spent over $75,000 to have a breast augmentation, veneers, gastric sleeve surgery, and skin removal surgery on the excess skin resulting from losing weight on her stomach, back, neck and “bat wings”.
June appeared on The Wendy Williams Show in April to talk about her total body transformation. “I had already planned this out before the cameras came in,” she said, revealing that her surgeries were part of a long-term plan.
She also addressed the amount she spent to transform her body: “If I was doing it for money and the show,” June asked, “why would I pay for it myself?”.
Since the final episode of Mama June: From Not to Hot aired, the reality star has limited her public appearances and kept quiet on social media – she stopped updating her Twitter account in April and has only been spotted out and about on May 23 while attending WE tv’s Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta premiere.
In the time since then Mama June has been laying low at home in Hampton, Ga. This is nothing new for June however, as she essentially became a hermit in between surgeries in order to avoid the paparazzi.
The plan was to show off her new figure in People and so it was important to keep her transformation tightly under wraps until then.
