She has been candid about her recent weight loss journey.

The 45-year-old former beauty queen revealed the picture was taken by her 14-year-old daughter Alabama Barker.

‘Good things happen to babes who hustle,’ Shanna captioned, tagging plastic surgeon Leif Rogers and nutritionist David Allen.

Lately Shanna has been seen enjoying a flirty jog with hunky model Matthew Rondeau, as well as cuddling up to him by the pool on her Instagram. 

This April she posted a side-by-side before and after Instagram collage, showing that she had taken off 40 lbs and explaining how she gained the weight.

‘I had a doctor lie to me and give me hormones I didn’t need which made me gain 40lbs ( this is common as the more they sell the more bonuses they get, like trips to Hawaii!),’ Shanna wrote in her caption.

Without naming the beau in question she added that ‘even though I was working out I ate like s*** because I was in a completely unhealthy relationship.’

She told Hollywood Life she felt ‘alone and really unhappy’ after this five-year romance finally fell apart last June.

‘I felt fat, I felt unhealthy, I knew mentally and emotionally I was taking good care of myself and so in that moment in time I was like: “That’s it. I’m taking my life back.”‘

The Playboy alum dished: ‘I still eat carbs but I try to keep it on the healthier side with sweet potatoes or avocados. I like to keep it clean – no cheesecake or Taco Bell.’

Luckily even in lockdown her eating regimen has been easy to maintain as ‘It wasn’t like I did a fad or a quickie diet. I really made major lifestyle changes.’

She shared: ‘It’s just a part of my life now. It’s how I eat and it’s how I cook. It’s just something that I do mentally, physically, spiritually take care of myself.’

Shanna shares her daughter with her ex-husband Travis Barker, whom she was married to from 2004 to 2008.

Although the pair had a nasty split that included both of them getting arrested after a verbal fight at home in 2014, they are amicable now.

They also have a 16-year-old son called Landon, while Shanna shares her 21-year-old daughter Atiana with her ex Oscar De La Hoya. 

Meanwhile Lief performed a tummy tuck on Shanna in 2018, a procedure she has referred to on Instagram as her ‘#mommymakeover.’

However last April she clarified on Instagram that the operation ‘wasn’t for weight loss! It was to fix my tummy muscles! I finally feel confident in a bikini again.’

In another post she specified that the problem she had surgically corrected was diastasis recti, a separation of abdominal muscles due to pregnancy.
