How did Whitney Way Thore lose weight?

Unfortunately, a lot of this was due to grief. Whitney’s mom Barbara “Babs” Thore ***** in December 2022 after being diagnosed with cerebral amyloid angiopathy, a progressive condition that can cause brain bleeding, strokes, and dementia, per

.

“I hate addressing this, but no, I have not had medical intervention to lose weight,” Whitney wrote in the caption of a recent

post. “In 2015 (season 1), I weighed 385 pounds. In 2018, I lost 50 pounds. When my mom got ***** and eventually *****, I lost 50 more. I weigh 285 pounds and I have been this weight for almost a year now.”

Has Whitney had weight loss surgery? Is she on Ozempic?

The 40-year-old reality TV personality set the record straight in a September 2023 interview with

. “I think it’s obvious that I have lost some weight and that is true,” she said. “And people say, like, ‘Is it surgery?’ and I’m like, ‘No, it’s grief, but thanks.'”

“I see a lot of chatter online and people have asked me, ‘Have you had weight loss surgery?’ or something like that. No I haven’t,” Whitney continued. “On the show, I’ll talk about my weight more, but in my personal life, I don’t really find it necessary to talk about how much I weigh. It’s just not something that I care to focus on and talk about.”

In July, Whitney told

, although she’s not ruling out trying the ***** in the future. “I’m not saying that I wouldn’t necessarily, I don’t know,” she said. “It’s not something that I’ve really thought about or have felt the medical need for, but it’s not something that I would say, ‘I would never do.’”

Whitney said that she gets asked a lot if she’s taken

. “With the Ozempic craze and everything like that, I got questioned a lot,” she said. “It’s funny, simultaneously, people are insisting I must have had

. And then, other people are saying, ‘She hasn’t lost a pound.’”

By the way, Whitney has no judgement about taking Ozempic or similar medications. “I think people have the right to do whatever they want to do with their own bodies,” she said. “And as a **** person who’s been **** my entire ****** life, I would never shame or criticize another **** person for choosing to do something that makes their life easier.”

She weighs herself to manage PCOS symptoms.

Whitney also revealed that she weighs herself to keep tabs on her

, a condition that’s linked to weight gain, infertility, and missed periods.

“I’ve just now started getting a cycle,” she told Us Weekly. “ just recently went up 10 pounds, and then I got my ******* the next day, and it was all gone the next day. I kind of track based on that. … It’s just a habit, really, [and] it’s not for any reason. It doesn’t make me feel any kind of way.”

She doesn’t like commenting on her body.

In Whitney’s IG post, she shared that she’s “been this weight for almost a year now” and this is the second time she’s lost 100 pounds in her life. But she quickly acknowledged that she’s not one to keep tabs on her weight.

“I’m still very ****. 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
