Sister Wives: Meri Is Losing Too Much Weight: See These Ultra-Thin Photos

Sister Wives star Meri Brown’s dramatic body makeover is getting plenty of buzz, but it’s possible that her dieting is too extreme. Every woman is different and there’s no formula for a perfect body. However, rapid weight loss can have negative side effects. It’s not about how Meri looks (she looks amazing), it’s about how she feels.

Sometimes, women feel pressure to be thinner – men do too. In particular, female celebrities (who are frequently picked apart by critics, from their heads right down to their toes) are encouraged to be as skinny as possible. That’s a slippery slope as extreme dieting has made many pop stars, fashion models and actresses sick. One of the dirty secrets of Hollywood is how little some stars eat. Taylor Swift has talked about looking at her pictures online and then starving herself.

Is Meri Brown Using Filters To Look This Skinny?

Maybe It’s All Natural

Meri looked super lean in the Instagram post shown above. She wore a Worthy Up hoodie. Black is a slimming color and maybe that’s one of the reasons why Meri looks so thin in this shot. Another possibility is that Meri tweaked the photo slightly with a filter or some other photo editing app. If she did, so what? It’s her life. However, she does look remarkably skinny.

During Sister Wives season 18, Meri was curvier. She seemed to be worn out by the drama that was unfolding onscreen. For years, Kody insulted Meri. It’s like he was trying to wear her down psychologically. Sometimes, when people are trapped in toxic relationships, it begins to show on the outside. It’s not about weight necessarily – a lot of things can happen, including dark circles under the eyes, a lack of rosiness in the complexion, and weight fluctuations. It’s a sort of mental fatigue that affects a person’s shell.

Janelle was having the same issues in the season. She looked so run-down. While Kody’s grieving the loss of Garrison Brown right now and deserves sympathy, it has to be said that the way he treated his now-exes really hurt them. In the latest installment, Janelle, who was a wonderful mother to Garrison, looked so pale and out of sorts. The emotional burdens these women were carrying were bad for their health.

Now, Meri looks wonderful and hopefully she feels that way too. It’s up to Meri how much she weighs. It’s a personal matter – however, at any weight, she’s a beautiful woman. The IG post above may well be filtered, as Meri’s face doesn’t have as much softness as it usually does. So, she may look thinner than she really is.

Either way, she’s gorgeous. Again, this isn’t about beauty – it’s about health. However, Meri’s gone back to light brown hair after a short stint as a redhead. Her brunette locks suit her skin tone and eye color – light brown hair really brings out her natural beauty.

Meri Brown’s Face Looks So Thin In This Instagram Post

Meri Brown’s Jawline Is Totally Defined

Meri wore a two-tone brown sweater in the IG post shown above, and the earth tones blend very well with her medium-toned skin. She looks great but super thin – her face is much skinnier than it used to be. While she looks attractive, it seems like Meri’s weight loss is quite drastic. Again, filters might be the reason why. If she is using filters, it’s possible that her features have been thinned out with a photo editing tool. If this is natural, Meri’s seemingly never been this skinny.

Sure, she was quite thin when she married Kody and full of hope. However, she was really young. When she met Kody, she was only 19. As people get older, their bodies may change. Meri got a bit curvier as the years passed – it was nothing major. However, at this stage, it looks like she’s lost about 30 pounds. She’s getting that super skinny actress look.

Meri is a mature woman now. She turned 53 in January. Like many older women in Hollywood, including Halle Berry, who is 57, Meri is taking care of herself as she gets older. Meri’s confidence is surging, and she seems to be very comfortable in her own skin. She’s playing with fashion, makeup and hair, and seems to be freed from a lot of insecurities that younger women typically feel.

Meri Brown Looked Svelte In Bubblegum Pink

Meri Brown Is So Glam Lately

Meri looks great in a lot of colors, but one of her best shades is definitely pink. In the Instagram post shown above, she’s radiant in a bubblegum pink top. The bright pink shirt is simple, but it’s extremely flattering. Meri doesn’t usually go for really fancy clothes – she’s into casual style. She’ll dress up once in a while, but in general, she rocks simple and relaxed outfits. That’s why the colors that she chooses are so important. When Meri wears a bright pastel near her face, she looks fresher and younger.

“Lady In Red” Meri Brown Is Enjoying Her Life

However, Meri Brown Misses Garrison

Meri was a study in scarlet as she posed in a red sweater that put some color in her cheeks. Red’s a great choice for everyone – however, a little confidence is needed to make a red outfit resonate. This shade is such a bold color – it’s bright enough to really stand out. When Meri chose this pretty top, she was showing her strength.

Sometimes, strength is the byproduct of suffering. Meri had some tough times. She loved Kody, and it all ended in disaster. Meri used to be the first wife – she was the legal wife. That gave her status among other polygamous couples. It was sort of like being the queen at a court. However, Meri had to give that up. Kody wanted a divorce so he could marry Robyn and adopt her children. While Meri granted that wish, she lost more than legal wife status. Kody was destined to become even more consumed with Robyn.

How Did Meri Brown Lose Weight?

Meri Brown Does F45 Workouts

Meri seems to be losing weight in a healthy way. She’s been doing F45 workouts – these high-intensity training sessions are tough, but Meri gets through them, and they help her to burn calories and tone her body.

When Meri visited London, England, she went to an F45 training session, as per her Instagram. The sessions got their name because they last for 45 minutes. During the workouts, participants exercise with buddies. After a session, clearly feeling the endorphins (the feel-good chemicals released after physical exertion).

It’s possible to burn up to 600 calories in just one F45 workout. The system was created in Australia, and while the training sessions aren’t easy, they’re fairly fast. A mixture of high-intensity interval cardio and strength training are used to push participatns past plateaus. F45 workouts deliver more calorie burn than many forms of exercise. For example, someone could ride a stationery bike for the same amount of time and burn under 200 calories.

Meri said she was:

unstoppable

She is doing the hard work, and doesn’t seem to be relying on medication like Ozempic to lose weight. She hasn’t revealed if she’s had bariatric surgery or anything along those lines. Meri seems to have slimmed down the old-fashioned way, by exercising. She probably watches what she eats too. She’s very glamorous right now and her workouts probably fill her with good energy that helps her to crush her goals. In the post above, Meri loved London and “f45.”

London Day 2 started off with business building (btw I’m so excited for mine) and training with the amazing @danelledelgado followed by more epic training. Yep, where you do one thing, you do everything! #f45 brought a whole new meaning to team training!

#SweatDaily my new motto for life AND business!

It’s inspiring how Meri rebuilt her life after a tough, unromantic and humiliating spiritual union. Yes, women can rebuild after these horrible relationships – men too. Anything is possible, and the power of positive thinking is the secret. Instead of staying down, Meri got up, dusted herself off and created a life plan that would bring her happiness. It wasn’t about Kody anymore. The other exes are doing just the same. What’s clear here is that Kody let go of three good women. However, Robyn is the right woman for him.

It’s Meri Brown’s Time To Shine

Meri Brown Isn’t Second Best Anymore

Sister Wives‘ Meri Brown is her own person now. Her post-split romance with Amos Andrews didn’t work, but she’s fine now. Learn about that romance in the clip above. She’s happy, and her “passion projects” bring her a sense of fulfillment. Thanks to Worthy Up, Meri may become a self-help guru. While she was often an unlikely hero on the show that made her famous, she’s stepping into her personal power. A lot of fans of the show may come along for the ride.
