Mama June Is Getting Knifed Up & Slimmy Trimmy With THIS Personal Trainer

Where is Honey Boo Boo??? Mama June Starring On WE TV’s “Not To Hot” After already dropping weight on her own, Mama June  is on a mission to get even MORE slimmy trimmy. Honey Boo Boo’s mom is starring on WE TV’s “Not to Hot” where she’ll document her dramatic weight loss journey. The journey will include a physical and emotional transformation and include celebrity personal trainer Kenya Crooks who’ll help her shed a massive amount of weight from her 400-pound frame with running, lifting weights and customized meal plans. Later she’ll have life-changing bariatric surgery to save her from obesity-related health issues. “As a fitness trainer, I often find myself acting as a counselor,” said Crooks about his work with Mama June. “In a lot of cases, I have found that there are underlying issues with extreme weight gain and bad eating habits. I worked with Mama June to identify those issues/triggers that caused her to turn to food and helped her replace food with positive alternatives.” “My job is to teach people to set goals that will have an overall positive affect on their lives,” Crooks said. “I always take a holistic approach using mind, body and spirit to help the client learn about themselves and set realistic goals. I taught Mama June how to set those goals and the way in which she responded to stress, helping versus hindering herself.” “Mama June: From Not to Hot” premieres February 24 at 10 p.m. ET on WEtv. For reference, this was Mama June last year before the show. Will you be watching???

Rod Durham Dies; Extreme Weight Loss Contestant Was 52

Rod Durham, a high school teacher who appeared on Season 4 of ABC’s Extreme Weight Loss, was found dead over the weekend in a Fort Lauderdale motel. He was 52 years old. According to the Tallahassee Democrat, Durham was visiting the area during his school’s spring break. While those close to him have speculated that Durham passed away from diabetic shock, his cause of death remains undetermined at this time. “He always made everyone smile — even if you were having the worst day,” Rocky Hana, Leon County Schools administrator, told the newspaper after learning of Rod’s death. “If you saw Rod, your day got better. “His laugh was simply infectious. … Everyone loved Rod Durham. There are tens of thousands of kids today who are broken-hearted.” Durham rose to reality TV fame in 2014 as a contestant on Extreme Weight Loss. He shed over 180 pounds on the program, standing out for his positive attitude and kindness. Extreme Weight Loss trainer Heidi Powell shared a photo of herself and Durham on Instagram in light of Rod’s death and wrote the following as a caption to it: Heaven just got a lot brighter today when Rod entered the pearly gates. While I am selfishly so sad and completely devastated that I won’t get to see him on earth anymore, I am rejoicing for the spirit he is carrying with him and spreading to everyone up there. We send our condolences to Durham’s friends, family members and loved ones. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Passed Away in 2016: Gone, But Not Forgotten
