‘Sister Wives’ Star Janelle Brown’s Inspiring Weight Loss Transformation: Photos of Dieting Journey

Showing Off Her Results With a Before-and-After Photo

“My sugar cravings are gone,” she wrote of her results. “Energy is through the roof, skin is more clear, mental clarity, weight loss, less inflammation, better sleep at night and SO much more. I am a whole new me! I feel amazing and this is just the beginning.”

Finding Balance

Janelle wrote that “in the last year I have I have learned more about why our bodies crave what they crave and why they ‘act’ the way they do. What I love about these specific products is the simplicity for one and the fact you don’t have to eat terrible foods, limit calories or starve yourself.”

Tips for Holiday Dieting

“Did you know the average American gains around 7 pounds over the holidays,” she wrote in the caption of this festive holiday snap. “I can confidently say, not me! Why?? Because this drink I share about & supplements I take help me fight the sugar cravings so I make healthier choices!”

Posing With Christine

In addition to flaunting her weight loss, Janelle posed with Christine, who has also gone on her own inspiring weight loss journey.

New Year, New You

“I’m here to remind you there are options out there but you have to be open to trying something new,” she wrote in this January 2021 photo’s caption. “Things get better when you try, even if you’ve tried everything before this. This is different, I promise. Don’t stop fighting to live your best life. You’re worth it.”

Reaching Out to Her Fans

Sharing a post of herself beaming with a huge smile, Janelle told her followers that it “really isn’t as normal as you think it is to feel rundown, exhausted, anxious, bloated, eat everything in sight, crave, run to the bathroom, or have headaches all the time.” Concluding her message, she addressed her fans directly: “I’m here, when you’re ready.”

Janelle and Maddie Team Up

In this photo of Janelle and her daughter Maddie, the mom of six wrote in the caption, “We all know what the “pink drink” is but do you know about Active?! I mix it in my pink drink every day and BAM…instant MOOD LIFT AND the all natural sustained energy and control over sugar cravings is AMAZING!!”

Looking Trim

Janelle appeared replenished in a new selfie she posted while sharing tips and tricks amid her weight loss journey.

“When you feel amazing you can’t help but share the secret!” the Becoming Sister Wives author gushed. “If you’re wanting to lose weight, gain energy, mental clarity, gut health, this is for you.”

Sharing Tips

Janelle took to Instagram in March 2022 to share her tips for achieving “a balanced body” and how it leads to “more motivation and a healthier outlook on life” while showing off her slimmer-looking face.

Showing Some Skin

In April 2022, Janelle showed off some skin at former fellow sister wife Christine Brown’s 50th birthday party, which had a “1920s Murder Mystery” theme. “What a blast. … SO MUCH FUN! Let’s do it again soon!” Janelle captioned a photo on Instagram of her in a short-sleeved black dress.

Shifted Mindset

Talking about the day she “was tired of being tired,” Janelle wrote in a June 2022 Instagram post that eventually she “was ready for change. My mindset shifted and was ready to be open minded. I had ears willing to hear and eyes to see. I was ready to explore the options that were out there – even when I thought I had tried it all.”

“My life has forever changed,” she added. “I feel like me! Exactly how I was meant to feel!”

It’s a Journey

“In the past year, not only have I increased my strength (almost have a 200 lb barbell squat accomplished you guys!) but in my own unique way I have lost lbs and inches,” Janelle wrote in a July 2022 Instagram caption. “I never thought I could feel as good as I did at 18 and finally feel like I’m on my way to my ultimate health goals.”

Slimming Down

Janelle showed off her slimmer frame as she rocked a tight black polka dot dress while posing with her kids Savanah, Logan and his wife, Michelle, in a photo shared via Instagram in July.

‘Excited About My Progress’ a Year Later

Sharing a side-by-side photo showcasing all of her hard work, Janelle wrote in the caption of her July 2022 post that she “couldn’t be more excited about my progress.”

“Everyone’s weight loss journey looks different,” she wrote. “I’ve said before I am always hesitant to share publicly any progress I make because, let’s be real, there are always nay sayers in the crowd. However, in the past year, not only have I increased my strength but in my own unique way I have lost weight and inches.”

“I never thought I could feel as good as I did at 18 and finally feel like I’m on my way to my ultimate health goals,” she added. “This is not an overnight fix. These pictures are from last July and this July. I wasn’t searching for instant results, because those don’t tend to last – but slow and steady as they say, wins the race!”

How Much Weight Has Janelle Lost So Far?

Just days later on July 26, 2022, Janelle took to her joint Instagram account with daughter Maddie and former sister wife Christine to reveal exactly how much weight she’s lost so far since starting her journey.

“So here I am, last July & this July – one year apart. The biggest question I get is how much have you lost? The answer is – 18 lbs on the scale – HOWEVER – my inch loss has been incredible as well,” she wrote via Instagram at the time. “This has been a result of me slowly healing my body. Calming inflammation, healing my gut, changing my insulin responses – all of it. This is the thing with these products, they are plant based, losing weight by giving my body what it needs. Do some people lose more in a year? Yes, however this is my personal journey. Now, some may say, only 18 lbs where others will say 18 lbs that’s AMAZING! For me, THIS is amazing and couldn’t be more encouraged!”

She continued, “This has been a whole different journey in weight loss & healing my gut. There have been many times I didn’t think I was really making any progress – no change in clothes, no change on the scale etc – and then I was sent this comparison. I still have lots of work to do, but this was significant. This reminds me that sometimes progress isn’t always measurable using the the standard tools.”

Janelle then added some words of encouragement to her followers who are also on their own health journey. “STAY CONSISTENT! KEEP GOING!” she wrote.

The next day, she shared a photo of that showed what 5, 10, 15 and 20 pounds of fat looked like once removed from the body. “I’m down 18lbs and some say that’s not much HOWEVER looking at this guage of fat – I would say thats HUGE! It’s all about perspective!” she captioned the shot. “Imagine YOU losing 20lbs – the RIGHT way. Not some fad – quick diet – thats not sustainable. Don’t worry about me – im over here in my own lane, slow and steady, seeing results! Cause 18lbs is more than the person that never started.”

Life Is Short

“Life is too short to spend it at war with yourself. If you feel like junk, it’s because you are CHEMICALLY off balance,” Janelle wrote alongside this photo from a hiking adventure with Christine in September 2022. “Every week that goes by, I feel better. Every month that goes by, I physically see changes. I’m so glad I took that leap of faith and poured back into me!”

Nearing the New Year

“Holidays are right around the corner THEN January (yes, I said it, 2023 is coming fast!) and we all know what that means – time to make goals and resolutions,” Janelle shared just two days ahead of son Logan Brown’s wedding in October 2022.

The Big Day

After months of preparation, Janelle flaunted her new trim physique alongside her former sister wife, Christine Brown, at Logan’s Arizona Wedding.

Fitness Routines

“Back to my focused strength and training,” she shared via her Instagram Stories in November 2022. “I’ve just been getting by with just the minimum for a few months. I find it so empowering.”

New Year, New Janelle

Janelle reflected on her health journey as she told her fans she’s looking forward to 2023 in an Instagram post shared on December 11, 2022.

“The results weren’t overnight and I’m okay with that,” she wrote alongside a video that documented her weight loss. “It’s all about slow and steady that wins the race.”

Mixing Things Up

“I think I’m addicted to how good I feel after a class,” Janelle shared in December 2022 about how great she felt after adding Pilates to her workout routine.

Pre-Christmas Pump

Janelle got a few last-minute workouts in before celebrating the holidays, writing on her Instagram Story in December 2022, “Stretch yesterday and hard strength training today. Now home to go make cookies with the grand babies – because it’s all about balance [cry-laughing emojis].”

Sign of a Good Workout

“Got such a good workout in I fogged up the windows before I could turn the car on,” the Sister Wives star wrote on her Instagram Story, adding a few happy face emojis.

Better Than Ever

Janelle started 2023 more focused on her goals than ever. 

“Everyone has a story. I had to decide between DAY ONE or ONE DAY,” she wrote over a video compilation of clips in January 2023. “So I decided, I was ready for DAY ONE! And NOW I feel better than I ever have!” 

January 2023 Reset

Janelle revealed that she and youngest daughter Savanah were getting back into the swing of things after indulging during the holidays.

“Savanah and I are doing a Reset this weekend before we go to Disney next weekend,” she wrote in an Instagram Story in January 2023. “Getting our digestion back on track and losing some of that holiday ‘fluff.’”

Pumping Iron

Janelle shared another fitness update on Instagram in January 2023, posting a video of herself doing squats in the gym with text that read, “I work out – not only to improve my health and change my body but for the empowerment it brings. When you are strong you can be strong,” adding two flexed arm emojis.

She continued in the caption, “I have proven to myself over and over again that when you know how much you can push yourself there aren’t a lot of limits. If you are brave enough.”

Toning While Traveling

In a new clip posted to her Instagram Story in February 2023, Janelle opened up about being “grateful” that she found a gym she can “continue to work out in” as she travels “more and more to Maddie’s” house in North Carolina.

“Routine is good, especially when you’re traveling, doing something kind of normal, doing something kind of physical with your body. It’s empowering and it makes it feel like all is right with the world,” she told followers. The Sister Wives star also revealed that she hired a trainer because she’ll be staying with her daughter for a few weeks as Maddie and husband Caleb prepare to welcome baby No. 3.

“That is new for me,” she continued. “But I knew that I had to have the accountability to get my butt to the gym because it’s so easy to stay home with the grandbabies and all that. But yeah, best move ever!”

‘Slow and Steady’

“It wasn’t overnight and I’m okay with that. Slow and steady wins the race,” Janelle wrote about her weight loss journey via Instagram in March 2023. “The best advice I can give you is, just start. Create your ‘day one’ because ‘one day’ will always come and go.”

She continued, “Give it your all, be consistent and I can guarantee you’ll be pleased! I know I am!”

Close-Ups

Janelle showed off her thinner face while sharing a video via her Instagram Stories on March 15, 2023.

Progress, Not Perfection

In a candid Instagram post shared on March 30, 2023, Janelle detailed her experience with Pilates, telling fans that she is working on her core strength and flexibility.

“Posting this unfiltered photo of me from Pilates today was a scary proposition,” she wrote, before explaining her goals in the Pilates workout sphere. “I am less than perfect and let’s be honest with each other, social media can be pretty brutal. Usually there is a lot of judgement and umm… ‘helpful tips’. But there is power in being authentic. In showing the small steps towards crafting your own life – even if progress isn’t always obvious or perfect.”

Feeling Vibrant

Janelle shared a before-and-after comparison of her weight loss via Instagram Stories in September 2023. The before photo was a black-and-white shot of the Sister Wives star in tears, while the after photo was in color and featured her smiling on a beach in Mexico. 

“I never thought I would find a product that made such a change in how I felt,” Janelle wrote. “You can go from seeing things in black and white to feeling vibrant and energetic!”
