Whitney’s Honest Reflection on Her Weight Loss Journey
In a February 2024 video, Whitney addressed her fans’ curiosity head-on. “I hate addressing this,” she admitted, “but no, I have not had medical intervention to lose weight.”
She went on to explain:
“In 2015 (Season 1), I weighed 385 pounds. In 2018, I lost 50 pounds. When my mom got sick and passed away, I lost 50 more.”
“Now, I weigh 285 pounds, and I’ve maintained this for almost a year. This is the second time in my life I’ve lost 100 pounds… I’m still fat — but I’m doing okay.”
Whitney has long been open about living with PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), which contributes to weight challenges — but her latest photos reflect not just weight loss, but emotional healing, self-care, and quiet strength.
