Amber, 34, posted a selfie on the social media platform with the caption “26 lbs down,” followed by praying hands, meditation and pink flower emojis.
In the photo, the MTV star only showed off her slimmer face and upper body.
Amber smiled for the camera with her highlighted hair tied into a ponytail and draped over her shoulder.
Some of her cleavage was revealed as she leaned towards the lens in a low-cut top with spaghetti straps.
The reality TV star followed the weight loss announcement post with another selfie that captured her smiling.
Amber’s recent focus on health comes just weeks after she ended her engagement to Gary Wayt.
Last month, a source close to the Teen Mom OG alum exclusively revealed to The US Sun that Amber “still hasn’t spoken to” her ex since he was found.
Gary, 39, disappeared after fleeing the rented cabin with just his keys and wallet following an argument.
He would appear unharmed several days later.
“Amber has not spoken to him and is not in contact with him,” the source revealed.
The source continued: “She hasn’t really reached out to anyone since he was found. She is very hurt by the whole situation and still in disbelief.”
Amber and Gary attended her brother Shawn Portwood’s wedding in North Carolina, staying in the mountainous area during the celebratory weekend.
On Sunday, June 9, the source said the couple seemed happy and revealed that Amber bought Gary her engagement ring that day — and that he was wearing it.
That night, the pair began packing up to return to their home in Indiana when they got into a heated argument.
The argument ended with Gary storming out of the rented cabin with just his car keys and wallet – leaving his phone behind.
After being unable to contact her then-fiancé, Amber reported him as a missing person.
THE FIGHT
News broke that Amber and Gary were engaged while in North Carolina, and Gary’s family was not happy.
“They talked about the cultural difference between his culture and hers and how his family wasn’t very accepting of her and expressed serious concerns.
“They also said they didn’t like her past,” a source added.
The happy couple were supposed to talk to Gary’s family after the wedding weekend, but that never happened.
The Bryson City Police Department opened a missing person case and issued an alert for him.
Gary was located in Oklahoma and New Mexico and police insisted they would keep the case open until he contacted authorities.
That Friday, Gary likely informed authorities that he was fine and the alert was cancelled.
AMBER’S PAST
Amber’s tumultuous life has been documented on the MTV shows 16 and Pregnant, Teen Mom, Teen Mom OG and Teen Mom: The Next Chapter.
The TV star’s difficult path as a mother and her fractured relationship with her two children, of whom she does not have custody, has become one of the reality show’s top stories.
Amber shares her 15-year-old daughter Leah with her ex Gary Shirley.
Teen Mom: Next Chapter Cast
In September 2022, MTV combined its long-running shows Teen Mom OG and Teen Mom 2 into one series following the experiences of young mothers raising their children and co-parenting with their baby daddies. Here is a list of the entire cast of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter.
She also has a 6-year-old son, James, who lives in California with his father, Andrew Glennon.
The Teen Mom star also spent 18 months in prison after pleading guilty to two felony counts of domestic battery following an alleged attack on Leah’s father, Gary.
Amber has written extensively about her troubled past and her various mental health diagnoses in her book So Are You Crazy Too?
A source close to Amber said the MTV star “has endured a lot of trauma and has worked hard over the past few years to overcome it all.”
