Fans React To Melissa's Birthday Video In The Comments
There were several elements to the Gilmore Girls actress's Instagram reel in honor of her special day, but one of the things that stood out the most was how obvious her weight loss progress was in her face.
Melissa has previously credited her weight loss over the last decade to changing her mindset, eating more thoughtfully, and staying active rather than relying on a strict fad diet, given she had tried many in the past. In various interviews, she talked about focusing on nutritious foods and smaller portions, while also incorporating exercise such as martial arts training. In 2018, she said she had lost about 75 pounds and emphasized that slowing down and giving herself a break had helped her make more sustainable changes, and she has now reportedly lost around 95 pounds.
Under her birthday video, fans cheered her on, sending her more positive birthday wishes and praising her for her healthy transformation.
"Happy belated birthday, and you look amazing with or without the cherries," commented an Instagram user.
"You look fantastic," wrote another.
"Wow, you are so slim and sleek, lady," a user commented, as another added, "You look amazing!"
"You are the cherry on top!" a fan wrote. "Happy birthday."
