Queen June Drops 100 lbs



You better redneckognize Mama June's weight loss

Th Here Comes Honey Boo Boo atriarch says she has shed more than 100 lbs. – without dieting or ever setting foot in a gym, TMZ reports

"I haven't done any surgeries ... no diet pills ... never went to the gym," June says. "But with the show I've been more active."

Mama June – whose real name is June Shannon – says that when she first started taping the TLC reality show in January 2011, she weighed 365 lbs. But now she says she weighs 263 lbs. – a 102-lb. weight loss

"They have me running around and going different places ... I guess it's paying off," she says.

Recently, Mama June revealed that she set up a trust fund or her daughter, Alanna "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson – who makes anywhere from $15,000 to $20,000 an episode – and for her other daughters, and it won't be available to them until they each turn 21.

Don't really mind that she lost weight because I think she's great either way.  But I need more Honey Boo Boo gifs, so let's go.

I've never seen an episode of this show but hearing all the unnecessary negativity about this family has made me really root for them. I hope they don't fall into the reality TV trap and try to become something they weren't.

Great to hear about her getting a bit more active and that she's responsible with money... honestly, I have a hard time seeing why so many people hate this family.

I had never seen it either until very recently, but they are lovely people and easy to root for imo. Also from what I saw (and they were recent, post-superfame episodes) it hasn't gone to their heads at all. They're still 100% podunk naturale.
