Teen Mom Amber Portwood: I Lost 65 Pounds
Whoa, mama!
Teen Mom star Amber Portwood says in the new Us Weekly (out now) she's "been chunky my whole life." That's a thing of the past: since giving birth to daughter Leah (with boyfriend Gary Shirley, 23) in November 2008, the MTV reality star has lost an impressive 65 pounds!
"I was looking in the mirror and I thought, I don't like this. I'm only 20. I need to kick it into gear," the 5-foot-4 Indiana native, now 118 pounds, tells Us Weekly of her post-baby body.
How did she do it? Out with mac and cheese and sweets and in with lean meat, fruit and vegetables -- plus two-hour cardio and weight sessions four times a week. (The Krav Maga disciple is even gearing up for her first martial arts competition.)
"The first time I tried on jeans after I lost weight, there were a size one," Portwood reveals. "I thought, there's no way. This is crazy!"
"I'm more comfortable in my skin," she adds, noting that her beau Gary "really likes" her new shape. "Who wouldn't?"

I hope she inspires Gary to drop some lbs. He's definitely at an unhealthy weight.

Re: Teen Mom Amber Portwood: I Lost 65 Pounds
So she has time for 2 hour cardio sessions 4x a week but not enough time to get her GED? Interesting.

Maybe she's been so mean to Gary because she was starving on her diet!

Re: Teen Mom Amber Portwood: I Lost 65 Pounds
WAIT! Gary is 23! I assumed he was younger bc it was "teen mom"....now I really think he needs to grow up!
She looks great though.

Re: Teen Mom Amber Portwood: I Lost 65 Pounds
I don't know but I noticed last season when she started to take the anti depressants, she started to lose weight.
So, I think the pills did it.
