'My Big Fat Fabulous Life': Did Whitney Thore really lose 70 pounds? Fans question weight loss as she goes topless

Whitney once thought Chase broke up with her because of her weight and soon after, she lost as much as 70 pounds

Whitney Thore has been through some tough times recently. Especially, her split with fiance Chase Severino left her an emotional wreck. Luckily, she had friends and work to look forward to, or else who knows how she would have spiraled. 

Chase popped the question atop Eiffel Tower, making it one of the most memorable moments of Whitney's life. Little did she know that it would last only for a while. Even though she was able to heal a little, Whitney would often find herself blaming her weight for the split. Her concerns had reached a point where she was considering getting bariatric surgery done, an idea that was long along the way. 

However, in early November, Whitney shocked her fans when she finally decided to work on her body. Looking "fit" and "fabulous" in a T-shirt and skirt, the reality TV star posted a photo of her's which prompted a volley of comments, most of which were positive. Interestingly, one of them asked why anyone would sign up for Whitney's weight loss program, to which the latter responded: "Haha, it isn't a weight loss program. That's the point. I have lost 70 pounds tho!" While The Sun has obtained a screenshot of the comment, you can take a look at the post here. She used to weigh 380 pounds.

Meanwhile, in this week's episode of 'My Big Fat Fabulous Life', Whitney's fitness levels have been questioned after she went topless in the lake.

"She blames her weight but I am guessing the dudes leave her because of her personality #MyBigFatFabLife," a user commented, while another shared: "Why doesn't Whitney have a workout business partner who's overweight like she is? Wouldn't it make more sense to see her work with someone who's supposed to be on the same weight loss journey? #MyBigFatFabLife."

"Whitney and fitness should not be in the same sentence #MyBigFatFabLife," a user expressed. "Watching #MyBigFatFabLife bit of a guilty pleasure. Can't help but think she would be such a force in the fitness industry if she focused more on that aspect of the show rather than the reality drama?" another tweeted.
