Meanwhile, Miller is sporting a new, healthier look these days. The reality television star has lost a significant amount of weight as shown in several new photos she posted on her Instagram account during the Thanksgiving holiday.

Many of her followers have noticed her new look by commenting with, "Abby you lost so much weight, good for you," along with, "Keep up the good work Abby you look great."
