Vicki Gunvalson is very proud of her daughter for dropping so many pounds and just being healthier and overall happier because of it. As you may have heard, Briana Culberson and her husband Ryan shared on social media that together, they’re lost no less than 128 pounds in total!

The Real Housewives of Orange County star is grateful that Briana has managed to lose weight and be healthy once more after months of dedication and hard work.

One source tells HollywoodLife that ‘Vicki is really proud of Briana and Ryan and knows how hard they’ve both worked to get where they are. Vicki knows Briana has struggled with her weight because of various health issues and as thrilled as she is for her daughter’s weight loss, she is more grateful that she has her health once again. Vicki understands losing weight was out of Briana’s control for a very long time no matter what she did.’

‘Her kids mean more to her than anything else and to see Briana happy and healthy is all that matters to her. She is thrilled to see how great they both look,’ they went on to dish via the same news outlet.

Briana’s health problems have been part of the Bravo show’s storyline for years so a healthy transformation was really necessary.

Back in 2010, it was discovered that she had a few tumors on her neck and thyroid the size of grapes!

In 2016, she was diagnosed with Lupus and that nearly caused her leg to get amputated last year.

But Ryan claims her weight loss has improved her health a lot!

At the same time, because of her health issues, Briana needed to put in twice the effort of other people in order to lose the same number of pounds which is why her mom is so proud of her.
