Mykelti Brown Reunites with Wedding Dress After Losing 100 Pounds
Mykelti Brown, known for her role on the reality series *Sister Wives*, recently revisited her wedding dress nearly nine years after her marriage to Antonio Padron. The occasion took on added significance as Brown celebrated a remarkable weight loss journey of almost 100 pounds. On October 12, 2023, she shared her experience on Instagram, reflecting on how the dress has changed since her wedding day.
Brown, aged 29, expressed her nostalgia by trying on the strapless ballgown she wore when she married Padron in December 2016. “I pulled out my wedding dress just to try it on for fun. It fit perfectly on the day of my wedding,” she wrote. She noted that when she attempted to try it on in 2019, before her first pregnancy, she found it would not zip up due to weight gain. “Now, there is a huge gap in the dress, and it was barely staying up,” she added, indicating the significant change in her body.
Brown and Padron welcomed their first child, daughter Avalon, in April 2021, and twin sons Archer and Ace in November 2022. Since giving birth to the twins, Brown has focused on her health and wellness, leading to her impressive weight loss.
During a TikTok video on the same day, Padron commented on the dress fitting, noting, “There’s a lot of gap in there. Holy cow! That’s a couple inches for sure.” He praised his wife’s transformation, reaffirming his support by stating, “She’s still got it.”
Mykelti has been open about her weight loss journey, revealing on Instagram in February 2024 that she reached her goal. She began her wellness journey in late 2021 at a weight of 270 pounds. After an unexpected pregnancy in early 2022, she saw fluctuations in her weight, ultimately reaching 275 pounds before giving birth to her twins. “My body deserved a break and a reset,” she explained, sharing that she enjoyed time with her babies while recovering.
Upon recovery, Brown adopted a low-calorie, high-protein diet and incorporated a gut health supplement into her routine. “It’s been a lot of work and determination,” she stated. As of February 2024, she reported her weight at 160 pounds and mentioned she is eager to build muscle.
In addition to her own progress, Padron has also been on his fitness journey. “I’ve made some changes and I’m getting closer and closer to a nicer shape,” he noted in a July 2023 Instagram post.
Brown’s journey reflects her commitment to maintaining her health for her family. She emphasized her long-term goal of living a long life and keeping up with her three children. “I feel better with more energy and higher endurance than ever,” she concluded, praising Padron’s unwavering support throughout her transformative experience.
