Bunnie Xo Shares Weight Loss Transformation
On September 11, Bunnie Xo took to Instagram to give fans a look at her hard work in the gym.
“24 weeks. 6 months. 168 days. And not one single excuse,” she wrote in the caption.
Bunnie Xo continued, “I started this cut at 162.3 lbs and 35.4% body fat! 👀 I had to eat a high fat diet to prepare my body for ivf & lemme tell you, my body loved it. It latched onto every frickin bit of it and wouldn’t let go.”
The podcaster noted, “So, I had one mission: strip the fat, build the muscle, and finally see what happens when I start working out because I WANT to, not bc I had to.”
Jelly Roll’s wife recalled calling Southside Strength gym owner Lisa Huntzinger, telling her, “I’m sick of myself.” Bunnie Xo said she was “ready to dedicate myself to this lifestyle, fully & whole heartedly. And the rest is history.”
She went on to explain the physical changes that came about with a mindset shift:
+10 lbs of lean muscle built (yes, during a cut which is insane.)
–12.6 lbs of fat gone — byeeee.
Body fat dropped from 35.4% → ~28% & let’s just say it was one of my hardest battles.
Strength — strongest I’ve ever been.
Science-backed: every InBody scan proved I was moving closer to my goals & I do them once a month.
“Coming from a girl who fought eating disorders her entire life, I can proudly say I am mastering my macros w/ the help of my guy @recompclinic,” she continued. “I nailed refeed days, and even treated my period weeks as metabolic maintenance resets.”
Bunnie Xo shared that during this process, “life never pressed pause.”
“IVF cycles, hormone swings, stress, work, travel, tour. exhaustion — it all came for me,” she explained. “But here’s the thing: I didn’t fold. I adjusted, pivoted, & kept showing up for myself.”
Fans Praise Bunnie Xo’s Hard Work
For the podcaster, the goal “wasn’t about getting ‘smaller.'” She noted, “It was about getting stronger, sharper, leaner, and mentally bulletproof.”
Her results were transformative. “The scale went down. The body fat went down. The lean mass went up,” Bunnie Xo wrote. “But the biggest transformation was the woman inside who proved to herself that no matter what life throws at her — she’s unshakable. 🥹🫶🏼”
She added, “Super excited to see another 6 months from now 💪🏻.”
Bunnie Xo’s fans flooded the comments with praise for her commitment to doing the hard work.
“Bunnie, you are amazing and you look absolutely gorgeous! Keep up the good work!” one fan wrote.
Others commented, “You’re such an inspiration. Way to crush them goals💪 🔥❤️” and “You’re amazing and so inspiring.”
