Over the years, we've seen the Teen Mom cast members change quite a bit. Sometimes it boils down to haircuts and wardrobe changes, while other times they opt for more surgical solutions.
But it looks like this star went the natural route when she shed these summer pounds!
When Ryan Edwards' wife Mackenzie Standifer first appeared on Teen Mom, fans, as well as Maci Bookout were cautiously optimistic.
A lot has changed since then.
From her marrying Ryan when he was clearly intoxicated to her controversial treatment of Bentley, it's hard to say she's a favorite in the fanbase. (Not to mention that crazy letter she read to Maci during the reunion.)
But that's not stopping her from shaping up!
Now, Mack is showing off a totally new look!
She posted this bikini pic proving that she's totally lost the baby weight from her second child with Ryan, little Stella Rhea. And she's looking like a totally different person!
Needless to say, fans had some thoughts.
"B*tches be having the self discipline and willpower to lose a bunch of weight but still can't be bothered to ditch their deadbeat men. 🐸☕," wrote user lesmullet on reddit.
User Muffin-sangria wrote, "I really like her swimsuit. But Mack can lose weight, get surgery, do whatever and her personality will always suck 1,626,347 d*cks."
But some people were more supportive.
"How do you look that fantastic after all those babies?!" wrote user joankgilette on Instagram.
User susie1219 chimed in, "Wait! Where did you go?! You’ve lost weight and look great!!! What’s the secret?"
What do you think about Mack's new physique?
He’s Off! Maci Shares HUGE News About Bentley
Maci Bookout shared some big news about her oldest son, Bentley! She shared photos of the family celebrating her son and talked about how excited she was to send him off on his next big adventure.
We are shocked at how much he's grown over the years and can't wait to see what's next for him!
Maci Bookout is an extremely involved mother, but when it comes to her son Bentley, things have not always been the easiest. She shares her son with Ryan Edwards, who has struggled with drug addiction. Additionally, Ryan’s wife, Mackenzie, and Maci don’t always see eye to eye, which has caused some issues in the family surrounding Bentley.
In a recent episode of Teen Mom, Maci reveals that Bentley is on a "strict diet" to make weight for wrestling, which has "been a great outlet for him," according to the mom of three.
In one scene where Bentley asks for grilled chicken for dinner, Maci tells him he's "lost his mind."
"He weighs like 74-75 pounds so he's on a very strict, good, healthy calorie diet," Maci shared. "Lots of water and workouts to actually cut out weight."
Bentley shared he's only eating about 1,000 calories a day, and it wasn't long before Maci began receiving backlash for this update. Many spoke out about limiting the diet of a child, including Mackenzie, who shared her views on the controversial Teen Mom YouTube fan channel, Without a Crystal Ball.
“I just never want any of our kids to ever feel like they need to go to those lengths to be successful," Mackenzie shared. "You train, you do your practices, you win some, you lose some. And ultimately, you want to win, but you don’t have to go that far. And I get it that there are wrestlers who- that’s how they do things. But at 11 years old, I don’t think introducing those habits at such a young age ends well, ever.”
Maci clapped back, “If introducing eating habits such as [those above] is never going to end well, then I’ve lost my mind. [She was] making statements based on ignorance, never telling the truth.”
“If she or Ryan actually talked to Bentley or me about it, they would be certain that it was Bentley’s choice to maintain his weight in his weight class, but considering they only spend a couple of hours a week around him and never show interest in showing up for more than one event a month…it’s fair to say that what they ’thought’ was wrong," Maci said, setting her sights on both Mackenzie and Ryan.
Although I will say that a 1,000 calorie diet does seem very limiting for a growing boy, wrestling is a very strict sport when it comes to weight classes.
So now, Maci updated fans on Bentley and seems excited to send him off toward the next step if his career!
“SO proud of my boy!” she captioned an Instagram photo of them. “Great Teachers — Lifelong Friends — All A’s — Forever Memories. Benny is off to MIDDLE SCHOOL! #bennybaby #5thgradegraduation #wheredidthetimego.”
She added a video of the two doing a fist bump for his achievement, as well as second one of them out to eat.
“Oh my heart,” she posted.
He’s off to middle school next year, congrats!
