Winter Everett from replaced Chantel Everett as the lead of their rumored spin-off. Winter’s fitness journey has taken the internet by storm. It’s no easy feat to lose 141 pounds, even if Winter did it using surgery, because, in the end, it’s about self-control, determination, and the ion to look and feel your best. Winter was one of the major reasons I watched recent seasons of The Family Chantel because I was honestly tired of the same old family drama.

Winter embodies every modern woman who is carving her path to success. Life changed for Winter when she stepped out of her sister’s shadow. Interestingly, it’s not Chantel who gets modeling assignments now, it’s Winter who is a professional model. Winter has been checking things off her bucket list one by one as she chases her weight-loss goals. She’s an influencer who’s truly giving her followers, including me, advice that’s not just about her selling a product but something that will change our lives.

Winter Everett's So Open About Her Weight Loss Ups & Downs

Why Winter's Weight Loss Journey Holds More Weight

I loved watching Winter light up my TV screen in The Family Chantel episodes even before she underwent her surgery to lose weight. Despite her being unhappy with her looks, Winter had the charisma that made her stand out and demand her spotlight even in an ensemble cast. Winter was headstrong in her approach when it came to butting heads with her sister. Chantel had always been someone Winter was always compared to and less of a sister. Winter always regretted not having been close to Chantel.

The Chantel-Pedro drama didn’t affect Winter. I watched her stay in her lane and watch what was happening from the shadows while she dealt with her inner demons. Winter’s life wa completely upside down in The Family Chantel season 1. She found out that her family had gone behind her back to dig dirt on her boyfriend and found he had a secret child. I watched as Winter itted not taking control of the situation. While it was something beyond her control, her weight wasn’t.

"It's not easy changing your life."

Winter shared her first weight loss consultation appointment for bariatric surgery after learning about Jah’s secret child. She was motivated to lose weight and stick to a healthier lifestyle. I was so happy for Winter, who used the setback to her advantage. She took this news to bring her back down to Earth from the delusion that a future with Jah was what she wanted. Winter chose herself now and accepted what was stopping her from losing weight.

Winter had tried to diet, but it had never worked. It was an emotional moment for me to watch Winter it how challenging it was for her to accept her body image, especially when Chantel never had to deal with such issues. Winter had no one to go to and no one who could understood her. She and her sister lived the same life. They ate healthily, went on runs, and were on the cheerleading team together, yet they were so different. Winter couldn’t stop comparing herself to Chantel.

Winter Everett Is Opening Minds

Not Everyone Can Look Like Barbie Chantel

While Chantel looked like a supermodel, Winter had always struggled with her looks. Winter’s mother had told the cameras about how she had always been “big” and that she was never a small child. Winter accepted that even after surgery, she was not going to look like Chantel. It was not how her body was supposed to look. Winter’s bone structure is unique to her, so she has made it her motto to talk about curves and body positivity on her social media. I was impressed with Winter saying no to unrealistic body goals.

Winter saw that her sister was ranked among the most attractive cast of 90 Day Fiancé. With her hard work and dedication, Winter is now always a part of lists of cast who have achieved major personal milestones. Even in 2020, a while before she went under the knife, Winter made self-love her mantra. Winter inspired me to change my mindset as well, as she tried to focus more on who she was than who she wanted to copy. It wasn’t an easy road for Chantel, but she made it and officially lost 50 pounds since then.

Winter Everett Isn't All About A Relationship

Winter Isn't Stuck In The Past Like Chantel

Winter chose to get a gastric sleeve after her breakup with her former fiancé, Jah. Winter’s long-term relationship left her in a bad place, and Jah notoriously disapproved of her having surgery. Winter’s motivation for weight loss may have been her breakup with Jah, but she did not make it her only focus. I doubt the revenge body concept appeals to Winter, who wants to feel good for herself and like what she sees in the mirror, not what someone else does.

Winter embraced her weight loss, but her personality never changed. She doesn’t think she’s better than everyone else after her 141-pound loss of weight. Since she’s been through struggles to lose her extra pounds, Winter understands that each body is different, and so is the pace at which everyone loses weight. Winter has evolved out of needing a man, of showing a man how much better she looks with him gone. I assume, in Chantel’s case, the opposite holds true, because she likes rubbing her success in Pedro’s face.

Chantel is still consumed by her ex. She doesn’t let any opportunity to diss him on social media go to waste. Going through Winter’s social media feed puts a smile on my face. She’s full of positivity as she addresses her “Butterfly Babes” on IG. She doesn’t force her weight-loss success on her fans but gently nudges them to follow their dreams. Winter has started coming across as the more mature one out of the two sisters, and maybe she always was. Winter is rumored to have a boyfriend, but she doesn’t want her private life to get unnecessary attention.

Winter Everett Should Get A Spin-Off

Winter's Dating Life Is Far More Intriguing Than Her Sister's

Chantel was the one who first started her reality TV journey in the family, and they ed as ing cast . Chantel has since been in several seasons of multiple spin-offs. She recently filmed a new “90 Day House” themed show in Mexico where she got to interact with other veteran cast and some new ones as well. It's rumored Chantel has found love on the dating spin-off, and she's dating a woman now. However, I’m certain viewers would have loved to see Winter in it because of how private she is.

Storylines featuring weight-loss journeys have worked well for the 90 Day Fiancé franchise. It always makes fans like me excited about the results. I find myself on Google or Instagram wanting to find out how the person looks after losing weight. Perhaps, if not a solo spin-off for The Family Chantel star, Winter could be roped in for a spin-off that entirely focuses on the successful weight-loss stories of her co-stars.

The Family Chantel is available to stream on Discovery+.
