According to People Health, “Throughout the past eight months, the Real Housewives of Atlanta star’s 15-year-old daughter, Riley Burruss has lost 52 lbs. To congratulate her daughter on the weight loss, Kandi posted a loving tribute on Instagram Thursday to Riley, who dropped from 220 lbs. to 168 lbs.”
The reality star gave a shout-out to Riley’s friends, “who worked out with her & helped her to stick to it. They also lost between 40-50lbs.” Kandi also revealed that Riley had been bullied from online trolls about her weight, but is now showing off her progress to encourage others in their weight loss journeys.
“Y’all just don’t understand how hard it is to grow up in front of the public eye & in front of social media trolls who make negative comments about kids weight,” said Kandi. Although Riley has lost more than 50 lbs. since last fall, the teen admitted that her “journey is not over.”
Riley captioned under her Instagram picture, “I have larger goals I am trying to reach and I hope everybody follows me throughout my journey. I’ve been seeing peoples comments about them struggling with weight loss.” She talks about her journey on her new Youtube series #RileyRoadtoSuccess.
