Shannon Beador confronted her weight gain head on on The Real Housewives of Orange County as she stepped on the scale to reveal that she had gained 40 pounds and had 40 percent body fat.

Though that was an incredibly emotional experience for Shannon, she recently told The Daily Dish that that moment helped to push her to do something about her body. "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," Shannon explained. "So I've been working at it."

And that hard work of Shannon's has paid off. Find out how much weight the RHOC mom has lost so far and all of her fitness secrets in the video, above.
