You Go Girl! Kandi Burruss Is ‘So Proud’ Of Daughter Riley’s 52-Pound Weight Loss [Photo]

‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ star Kandi Burruss took to Instagram to show off her daughter Riley’s impressive 52-pound weight loss on Thursday.

Riley’s been sharing some of her workouts lately, but only today we learned that the 15-year-old went from 220 pounds to 168 pounds.

After sharing her own before and after photo, Kandi re-posted the same picture and added an encouraging caption of her own.

I’m so proud of my baby @rileyburruss! Last year (around September I think) Riley decided to get serious about being fit. With the help of her trainer @iamthekingoffitness she’s lost 52lbs!!!! & she did it the right way by working out 5 days a week & watching her calorie intake. Shout out to her friends @olivervett & @jake.vett who worked out with her & helped her to stick to it. They also lost between 40-50lbs. 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. Luckily Riley has tough skin & doesn’t let it bother her but as her mom it used to piss me off when trolls would make negative comments about her size. Nobody knew she was over 200lbs because my daughter is tall. She’s 5’9. & to be honest she wouldn’t tell anybody how much she weighed but now she proudly shares it because she wants to motivate other people who are going thru the Weightloss struggle. Riley is still working out 5 days a week. I’m so proud of her dedication. Now she doesn’t need help to stick to it because she’s got that self discipline that I don’t even have… Riley wants to help other young people get fit & help them thru the challenges she faced. Stay tuned to what my young boss has coming next! #ProudMom ??? 

We love it. Keep up the good work, Riley!

“I just really want to send a big shoutout to @iamthekingoffitness because having an amazing trainer was very helpful throughout this journey and motivated me to keep going. I also want to thank my friends @jake.vett & @olivervett for keeping me motivated as well. My journey is not over. 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. I know the struggle & its real. But it can be done. Roll with me and lets do it together! & i just want to thank every one for your supportive comments!” – @rileyburruss Kudos Riley, thanks for sharing your inspirational journey with us! We salute you. ??? #blackgirlmagic #transformation
