Mama June of 'Here Comes Honey Boo Boo' claims she has shed 100 pounds

The Thompson clan of TLC’s ‘Here Comes Honey Boo Boo’ doesn’t exactly fit the profile of a family that would embrace diets or hardcore workout routines. We are correct in our assumptions.

However, in an article dated Wednesday, Feb. 6, Mama June tells TMZ that she has shed 100 pounds in the last 2 years.

The redneck reality star weighed in at 365 lbs when the show began filming in January 2011, but she has since dropped to 263 lbs. As we’ve watched on the TLC hit show, Honey Boo Boo’s Mama sure knows how to eat, so how in the world has she dropped the weight?

Apparently her only secret is that the show simply has made her more active.

"I haven't done any surgeries ... no diet pills.. never went to the gym…but with the show I've been more active,” she tells TMZ.

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

On the Halloween episode, we watched Mama June pig out on her kid’s Halloween candy. We have also noticed her enjoying ‘sketti’ and cheese balls any chance she gets. We did however find out that she is terrified of mayonnaise. Perhaps her weight loss is a combination of a continued mayonnaise-less diet, along with the show keeping her more active?

Anyone else wonder what Sugar Bear thinks of the slimmer June?

Will the woman of the Thompson household continue to lose weight? Tune in to the last HOLLADAY special on Sunday, February 10 to find out.
