Mama June reveals daughter Honey Boo has lost half a stone after being inspired by her mum’s dramatic weight loss makeover
The matriarch said she's proud of her daughter's progress
MAMA June has revealed her daughters Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson and Lauryn "Pumpkin" Thompson are following in her footsteps and have lost 11 lbs between them.
The good news comes after June, 37, went under the knife and changed her lifestyle to shed a huge 21 stone to become a US size 4.
Appearing on , she said: "Alana’s lost about seven pound and Pumpkin’s lost about four."
Responding to viewers' questions, June insisted she wouldn't return to her previous overweight look.
“I know myself — I’m never going to go back to what I was before,” she said. “It’s all about maintaining. I’m kind of obsessed with the scale, and beating myself up even if I gain a few ounces or a pound.”
Asked if she had any regrets, she responded: “I don’t regret anything. I have this philosophy in life: If you regret anything, you shouldn’t have done it to begin with.”
The mother-of-four went under the knife in pursuit of a “revenge body” after her marriage to Mike “Sugar Bear” Thompson collapsed and he moved on to a new wife named Jennifer Lamb in February.
She underwent procedures including a tummy tuck, breast reduction, and operations to remove fat and skin from her arms and neck.
June also had a gastric band fitted to limit what she could eat – something that she discovered would make her sick when she tried to binge eat.
The mother-of-four previously admitted to People magazine: “I’m not going to lie to you: I have thrown up, because you can’t over eat with the gastric sleeve.
“That’s not a thing that I recommend to somebody. You realise what you can and can’t do, and when you do it that one time, you don’t do it again.”
She had been in hiding in recent weeks so that her weight loss documentary series, Mama June: From Not To Hot would have maximum impact.
