HOUSTON, TEXAS: 'My 600-lb Life' star Amber Rachdi, who has not been active on Instagram, responds to weight gain claims with a mirror selfie, stating that she has not gained weight.

The reality star continues her weight reduction journey with semaglutide injections and discusses progress with fans.

Amber, who is well-known for her incredible transformation on 'My 600-lb Life', triggered weight gain concern among followers when she went missing from Instagram for several months.

Concerns emerged about the chance that she may regain the weight, which is not unusual among people who have had weight reduction surgery and appeared on the show.

Amber responded to the claims on Instagram, clarifying the issue.

She last uploaded a photo on Instagram roughly 40 weeks ago. Before it, her participation with the social media platform was erratic, with updates appearing every 10 weeks.

The majority of her posts are selfies, prompting conjecture and discussion about the likelihood of her regaining the weight she had lost during the preceding five years.

To dispel such suspicions, the former 'My 600-Lb Life' Season 3 star occasionally posts full-body photos.

Her most recent Instagram post was on January 25, showcasing a mirror selfie in which she was dressed in a black wrap dress and a jumper, revealing her still tiny waistline.

Amber justified her recent absence from social media in the post, as well as concerns about her weight.

"This isn’t a glamor shot." She added, "No editing, no false eyelashes, just me existing as a corporeal being." The 'My 600-lb Life' celebrity made it obvious that she had yet to regain the weight.

In her last post, Amber continued, "It's been 10 years. I've never made a dime as an influencer, I work in IT."
