Shannon Beador has been chronicling her weight loss struggles on The Real Housewives of Orange County for the past several weeks but has she actually lost any weight?

While new photos of the reality star on social media seem to hint that she has dropped at least some of the 40 pounds she gained after filming the 11th season of the Bravo TV reality series last year, a new report claims that she hasn't slimmed down at all.

On August 18, Radar Online shared a report, along with several photos, claiming that although Beador recently claimed to have lost 15 pounds, new photos of her seem to prove that her allegations are lies.

Earlier this week, as the outlet revealed, Beador was photographed in Southern California making a point to cover her weight gain up in a very baggy shirt.

According to the report, Beador said she went from 135 to 175 before dropping nearly half the weight but according to nutritionalist and weight loss expert Charlene Ciardiello, it is "blatantly obvious" that the reality star is lying about her alleged weight loss.

"Shannon weighs exactly the same," Ciardiello alleged after viewing the latest photos of Beador. "In the new photos, she is at least 175 pounds. At 5’5” that is not healthy and can lead to a number of health issues.”

“Her weight gain can be associated with stress. She is an emotional eater and drinker but no one is to blame for that except herself. The stress of her marriage has caused her to turn to food to cope, as it does with many of my clients,” she added.
