Whitney Way Thore from My Big Fat Fabulous Life isn't shy when it comes to posting pictures of her life from many years ago. The dancer is an open book and often posts heartwarming snaps. However, there are a couple of throwbacks that stand out from the rest. These retro pictures are major fan favorites.
The Greensboro native has been sharing her story for nine seasons. Along the way, viewers have met her family and friends, and some of her pals have known her since she was a teenager. Grown-up Whitney has fallen in and out of love. She had an engagement that barely lasted a few months, but found love again after serious heartbreak. Through the highs and lows, she has had her closest friends and family to lean on. Therefore. it's not a surprise that she gives the special people in her life shout-outs via social media. Since Whitney is known for her Instagram photos, it's time to rank her top three blasts from the past.
Without a doubt, Whitney loves to take a stroll down memory lane. From high school prom pictures to choreographing her first junior production, her memories are all well-documented. My Big Fat Fabulous Life fans really enjoy it when Whitney shares a glimpse of her childhood since it was so drastically different from her life now. Whitney's top three photo throwbacks, ranked from the worst of the best to the greatest, are all well worth a closer look.
3. Whitney & Heather
Whitney and Heather Sykes have been friends since 2002. Their friendship started in high school when ice-blue eye shadow ruled, and Hot Topic was still the scariest mall store to walk into. This photo jumped out at fans because it showed how close the two women have become. Whitney first met Heather on the set of her high school's production of Grease, when she choreographed the dance steps. Heather was Rizzo (and dating Todd Beasley) while Whitney was the mean girl, Cha-Cha.
2. Vintage Whitney
Who could deny that baby girl Whitney was one cute newborn? In the photo, she is getting lots of love from her parents, Babs and Glenn Thore. Whitney was only a day or two old in the image, and her mom and dad were celebrating bringing their newborn home from the hospital in North Carolina. Fans often think that Babs and Glenn need their own spin-off, as they often poke fun at their daughter.
1. Sassy Whitney
Whitney's classy but sassy Southern attitude has won fans over, and it looks like she has always had a lot of star quality. In what is one of the star's best throwbacks, Whitney, who always put haters on blast, decided to share a photo from 1988. While rocking her blue dance leotard, she struck a pose for the camera. It is easy to see why the My Big Fat Fabulous Life fans (and TLC cameras) love her so much.
