There’s more to Whitney Way Thore than her appearance.
The My Big Fat Fabulous Life star responded to speculation over her body transformation after a recent post celebrating her dad’s birthday prompted fans to ask if she underwent surgery.
“I hate addressing this,” Whitney shared in her Feb. 12 post, alongside a clip of herself showing off her Mardi Gras look, “but no, I even have not had medical intervention to drop extra pounds.”
As a substitute, the transformation is a results of Whitney steadily losing 100 kilos through the years.
“In 2015 (season 1), I weighed 385 kilos,” the TLC star noted. “In 2018, I lost 50 kilos. When my mom got sick and eventually died [in December 2022], I lost 50 more. I weigh 285 kilos and I even have been this weight for nearly a yr now.”
After explaining this is just the second time in her life she’s dropped significant weight, Whitney expressed how she struggles to read comments about her weight.
“I’m still very fat,” she continued. “Thanks for the compliments, but I actually don’t love obsessing over my body and I don’t love it when others do it either.”
