'RHBH' Star Teddi Mellencamp Says 'Before-And-After' Weight-Loss Photos Only Tell Part Of The Story

Instagram is flooded with before-and-after pics, but Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Teddi Mellencamp wants to make it clear that theres so much more to these photos than meets the eye.

Sure, a before & after is a great way to show one piece of someones health and wellness journey, she captioned her own before-and-after photos in a new Instagram post. But it isnt able to give you is the full scope of what has actually been accomplished.

Teddi, who is an accountability coach and fitness influencer, says she and her team at All In By Teddi have created something called Beyond the Before & After. It is so much more than weight loss, she wrote. For me, it was finding confidence to build a business, discover ways to deal with my anxiety, and become a happier, more present wife and mother.

But it isnt able to give you is the full scope of what has actually been accomplished. Thats why my team and I have created Beyond the Before & After at @goallinbyteddi. Because it is so much more than weight loss. For me, it was finding confidence to build a business, discover ways to deal with my anxiety, and become a happier, more present wife and mother. So while a picture may be worth a thousand words, there are so many things worthwhile things a photo just cant get across. #allinbyteddi #motivationmonday #lifestylechange #notadiet #linkinbio A post shared by Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave (@teddimellencamp) on Sep 9, 2019 at 5:34am PDT

Teddi previously told NBC News that she gained a lot of weight after having kids. During my first pregnancy, I gained about 80 pounds. And then my second pregnancy, I gained another 80 pounds, but I hadn't really lost it all after the first, she said. I truthfully thought, its going to fall off this time. I'm going to work out hard, and its just going to happen. And then it didn't. She eventually experienced a mental shift where she realized she needed to keep herself accountable to what she was eating and doing, and thats when she lost the weight .

While she's clearly lost a lot of weight, Teddi wrote in the comments of her latest Instagram post that she doesnt discuss her current weight publicly. I think putting that number out there makes us want to compare and we are all so different, she wrote.

Another commenter asked about loose skin, and Teddi said that while she had her "boobs done" after she had her son, she hasnt had any surgeries to fix loose skin. (She told another commenter that she still has some loose skin.) High-waisted workout pants are the way to go, she added.

Teddi ended her latest post on this note: So while a picture may be worth a thousand words, there are so many things worthwhile things a photo just cant get across.
