Shannon Beador offered fans an update on her weight loss on Instagram days ago.

As she continues to expose her weight struggles on the 12th season of The Real Housewives of Orange County, Beador has been keeping her fans and followers in the loop with her weight loss and on August 11, she shared a new photo of herself and Jeff Lewis and revealed that she's down 15 pounds.

"Happy hour in the OC with @jljefflewis ! Down 15, but could easily go up 15 after a night with him! #loyalfriend #hasmyback #loveourfriendship," Beador wrote in the caption of the photo.

Weeks ago on The Real Housewives of Orange County, Beador stepped on a scale at the office of her trainer and learned she had gained 40 pounds and had 40 percent body fat. 

During an interview with The Daily Dish a short time later, Beador admitted that it was difficult exposing herself on national television but also said that the incident served as much-needed motivation for her.

"Taking my shirt off and showing people the weight that I've gained has been nothing but a motivator to me and that, coupled with the fact that my trainer informed me that my body fat percentage was basically putting me in the ticking time bomb area where I could have a heart attack or diabetes or that sort of thing, I mean, it was a wakeup call for me," she explained. "So I've been working at it."
