Reality TV star Whitney Way Thore recently found herself addressing rumors about her weight loss after fans speculated that she had undergone medical intervention to achieve her new look. Thore, known for her role in TLC’s ‘My Big Fat Fabulous Life,’ took to Instagram to set the record straight, expressing her reluctance to address the issue but confirming that she had not undergone any medical procedures for weight loss.

In a charming Mardi Gras Instagram post, Thore was seen celebrating the holiday and her father’s birthday, but fans couldn’t help but focus on her physical appearance. Addressing the speculation in the comments, Thore edited the post’s original caption to clarify that her weight loss was not the result of medical intervention.

Thore went on to share details about her weight loss journey, revealing that she weighed 385 pounds during the first season of her show in 2015. She disclosed that she lost 50 pounds in 2018 and an additional 50 pounds following her mother’s illness and eventual passing in December 2022. Despite the recent attention to her weight loss, Thore emphasized that she has maintained a weight of 285 pounds for almost a year.

She candidly stated, ‘This is the second time in my life I’ve lost 100 pounds. I’m still very fat. Thank you for the compliments, but I really don’t like obsessing over my body and I don’t like it when others do it either.’

While Thore received mostly supportive reactions from fans, some expressed surprise at her reluctance to discuss her body, given the nature of her show, ‘My Big Fat Fabulous Life.’ However, Thore’s response reflects her desire to shift the focus away from her physical appearance and onto other aspects of her life.

Thore’s candid and relatable response to the speculation surrounding her weight loss serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting individuals’ personal boundaries, especially in the public eye.
