After the popular TLC spinoff went off the air, June Shannon underwent an extreme weight loss transformation. Shannon went from 460 pounds to 160. Her dramatic transformation can be credited to hard work in exercise paired with weight loss and cosmetic surgery.

“I think that it is very inspiring. It shows me that I can do anything if I put my mind to it,” junior Savanna Gonzalez said.

Shannon’s weight loss transformation is documented on a new television show, called “Mama June: From Not To Hot.” The 37 year old mom started her journey by moving from a small town in Georgia to California.

Her weight loss was not only for health reasons, Shannon claims to have wanted “sweet revenge” on her ex, Mike Thompson. With a successful journey and hard work, Shannon received just what she was after, turning heads and making waves as she shows off her new body. After her weight loss journey, Shannon now finds it necessary to get her family life and their health in order. After setting her priorities straight, Shannon plans on heading back out into the dating world and expanding her love life.

“I’ve seen Pumpkin and Alana lose and gain weight, but I don’t want them to end up like I did at 460 lbs. Who would want that?” Shannon told PEOPLE magazine.
