Although My Big Fat Fabulous Life season wrapped up at the end of November, fans are still keeping tabs on Whitney Way Thore and her close friends and family. Recently, fans captured a glimpse of one of Whitney’s besties and were blown away by her weight loss efforts.

Is My Big Fat Fabulous Life Coming Back In 2024?

While the season finale ended with a bombshell announcement from Glenn Thore and his newly found daughter Angie, it points to the probability that there will be a My Big Fat Fabulous Life Season 12 in 2024. During season 11, Whitney Way Thore and her family shared their journey after Babs Thore’s passing. Each member has taken the change very hard, but they are finding their way through the day-to-day. Notably, during Whitney’s grief, she reportedly lost a significant amount of weight.

With the big focus being on Whitney Way Thore and how the family moves on after losing her mom, there were brief interactions with friends during Season 11, but minimal. At one point, a follower asked, “How often do you hang out with all of your friends?” Whitney sadly admitted, “To be honest, rarely. I spend most of my time alone.” But Whitney has maintained long-term relationships with many of her close friends through the years. Including close friends Heather Sykes and Ashley Baynes.

Fans Spot Whitney Way Thore’s Good Friends Weight Loss

On Reddit, a user posted a photo of Whitney Way Thore’s good friend Heather Sykes and Ashley Baynes standing side by side. In the caption, the user says: “Wow Ashlee is looking great!!” Then, the user adds, “This is how it’s done Whitney.” Notably, the original photo was from Heather’s Instagram page with the description: “Pro tip: Don’t buy the sparkly pants from Target unless you want to leave a glitter bomb literally everywhere you go (including a stranger’s fancy fabric dining room chairs)✨ @ashdanbay.” Other Reddit users were quick to add their thoughts to the thread:

  • “They both look fantastic!”
  • “They do look great. So does Hunter, in the post with his gf; Glenn looks 100x brighter when he’s with Angie…hm. What’s the common denominator? Oh yeah! No WWT ;).”
  • “Yea she looks great and love the look on Heather”
  • “Everyone around Whitney is living their lives and progressing well. Nice to see.”
  • “Both these ladies look 🔥 Good for them, wishing them both the very best life ahead. Suck it Sh*tney………..these ladies are leaving you in the DUST!!”
  • “Wow, BOTH LOOK INCREDIBLE. I didn’t even recognize Heather”
  • “They look amazing!!! They were always pretty but something about their style really aged them. They look refreshed.”

My Big Fat Fabulous Life Comments

But, fans didn’t just stick to commenting on Ashley and Heather on Reddit. Several jumped to the topic of Whitney Way Thore’s weight loss and how it could affect My Big Fat Fabulous Life. Many believe Whitney may be stalling to prolong the possible cancellation of the show.

  • “The show should be canceled. No purpose for it. She isn’t interesting, so much is fake and after 11 seasons with no personal growth or progress Whitney comes off as a very unlikable 40 year old with a life that is anything but fabulous.”
  • “So, I am going to assume it’s the shots. Why wouldn’t Whitney take them? Is she afraid that her show will end if she isn’t heavy? Because – I think the show is on it’s way out. She has the rest of her life to live, may as well live it healthy and happy. Because she can’t convince me that she is either of those things right now. And no judgement on the shot – because I am on it.”
  • “I think most people would love to see her get healthy and happy — but what she’s doing now ain’t it. And for her to treat us like we’re stupid and she is healthy and she is happy — that’s what pisses me off more. No one would judge her for getting shots to get healthy. People do the surgery all the time. She wants to be big — which whatever but don’t portray it as happy and healthy and when you get called on it use the whole “body shaming” bull.”

Fans Continue To Voice Their Thoughts On Whitney Way Thore

Furthermore, additional fans noticed that Whitney Way Thore has been losing weight. Admittedly, many are speculating she is on a weight loss drug, while others don’t believe she would since it could endanger the status of My Big Fat Fabulous Life.

  • “Well I saw a post or comment earlier saying Whitney has lost 60lbs in a short time and they were saying she must be using one of the weight loss drugs. And if she has lost weight (I have no clue), it definitely is from the drug.”
  • “I haven’t seen her on insta recently – I thought those were older pics. I hope that is true. I would be surprised if she is doing it – only because the show is about her being big. But she SHOULD do whatever makes her healthy and happy!”
  • “I doubt she will ever do anything to make herself healthy.”
  • “I think Whitney is on one of the shots (also fellow shot girl here, high five!) – but for whatever reason not getting results AS impressive. The fact that she’s under 299 though, if that is true, is a big accomplishment in Whit’s case. Anyway, Ashley looks amazing and I couldn’t be happier for her. Wish her the absolute best – I wish they’d do a show about HER journey.”
  • “Whitney took the video of Hunter and his gf. She definitely was losing weight but when she was a guest speaker at the place that treats ED, (I can’t remember the name) she looked like she was gaining again.”

Wow Ashlee is looking great!!
