‘Here Comes Honey Boo Boo’ Mama June and Alana Weight Loss: Mom Loses 120 Pounds [PHOTO UPDATE]

Believe it or not, plus-sized Here Comes Honey Boo Boo mom, "Mama June" Shannon, has dropped 120 pounds and six dress sizes since first embarking on her cheese cube weight loss regimen. According to the 34-year-old mother of four all the kids are shedding a little extra baby-fat--including Toddlers and Tiara's star Allan Thompson. Though Shannon didn't offer up any specific stats for Sugar Bear and the rest of the crew, she did say the brain-addled Pumpkin lost 9-pounds.

Thompson family matriarch, Honey Boo Boo's Mama June resents an insinuation that she keeps her kids fat for TV.

The 34-year-old retired forklift operator explained in a interview with In Touch Weekly for their July 28, print edition that all of the kids are losing weight right alongside her:

"People were actually saying I was gaining weight, and making Alana gain weight, to stay on TV, which is a bold-faced lie.

"We've all lost weight.

"We've been eating a lot of chicken and baked foods.

"I also snack on grapes and cheese cubes throughout the day...I haven't been drinking as much soda--just water and stuff.

"And I've been busy going to NYC an LA for the shoe, so it's kept me active."

Shannon claims that although she feels good about losing the weight, she and her husband still liked that way she looked before just as much if not more:

"I am happy with the way I look now.

"But I was happy with myself when I was 400 pounds.

"I taught myself and my kids that you've got to be confident no matter your size.

"Honestly, Sugar Bear] doesn't like that fact that I've lost weight!

"He likes bigger girls...He's kind of a chubby chaser!"

According to June, she is starting to see a little too much of her little chubby chaser since his health issues have kept him from going to work (via In Touch):

"All I have to say is that he's been home for over a year now because of his health and I will be very happy when he goes back to work!

"I love Sugar Bear, but everyone needs their own serenity."

God forbid June get a job like a let Sugar Bear have his own serenity.
