Mama June’s daughters Honey Boo Boo and Pumpkin pictured ‘working out’ as they start weight loss bid after fan comments
MAMA June’s daughters Honey Boo Boo and Pumpkin have been spotted working out as they embark on a new weight loss regime.
They were pictured wearing their workout clothes and walking near their home in Gordon, Georgia, with older sister Jessica.
Honey Boo Boo – real name Alana Thompson – decided she wants to slim down after fans of her new show Mama June: From Not to Hot started making comments about her weight, a source told The Sun.
Both she and Pumpkin – real name Lauryn Shannon – have also been inspired by sisters Jessica and Anna’s recent body transformations and have decided to go on their own health kick.
Jessica recently had a tummy tuck and liposuction as part of $111,000 plastic surgery makeover she underwent with older sister Anna.
She weighed 243 pounds when she went into surgery and has since slimmed down to 189 pounds – a massive 54 pound loss.
Honey Boo Boo, 14, and Pumpkin, 20, now want to start their own body transformation and have started walking every day and eating healthily.
A source told The Sun: “Pumpkin and Alana have been inspired by Jessica and Anna’s transformation.
“So they’ve joined together with them and they’ve been going walking every night trying to lose weight and get healthy.
“They are trying to eat healthily too and change their diets. They encourage each other along.
“Fans keep commenting about Alana’s weight this season and now she’s decided to do something about it with the help of her sisters.”
Jessica showed off her stomach in workout pants and a red sports bra, while Honey Boo Boo and Alana wore leggings and baggy blue tops.
They walked and chatted and could be seen attempting to do lunges.
It comes after Honey Boo Boo revealed her struggles after the drug arrest of her mom.
She shared on her Facebook: “My trust is so f****d up, I feel like I’m getting played or lied to all the time.”
The teenager admitted last month she is “not okay” after the arrest.
June was arrested in March last year, along with her boyfriend, Geno Doak, for possession of a controlled substance – crack cocaine – and possession of drug paraphernalia – a crack pipe.
She faces a year in jail as she heads to trial in May.
Her older daughters appear to be staying positive and have been posting online about their body transformations.
Jessica has been shedding the pounds since she had an Orbera Balloon inserted into her stomach to help with her weight loss at a cost of $17,000.
She also had liposuction on her abs, sides, back and bra area as well as a tummy tuck, while sister Anna had a boob job and got veneers.
Jessica captioned her post: “I’m excited to share with y’all my makeover team that worked on me and really made a big difference in my life.
“I’m still losing weight everyday and I feel great!!”
Meanwhile Anna wrote: “Finally I get to share photos of my makeover journey and introduce you to all the great doctors and beauty professionals who worked on me to make me beautimous!!”
Anna recently moved to a new lakeside trailer with boyfriend and told the Sun she hoped to get married within a year and have another baby.
She said: “Eldridge and I are hoping to get married within the next year and we want a child together.

“We fell in love with the property being along the lake side.
“It’s like a dream come true.”
