'Honey Boo Boo's' Mama June I Lost 100 lbs
"Honey Boo Boo" star Mama June tells TMZ ... she's dropped more than 100 POUNDS in the past 2 years -- and claims she did it all WITHOUT DIETING OR A GYM!
The TLC reality superstar says she weighed in at 365 lbs when she first starting taping the show back in January 2011 ... but has since slimmed all the way down to a trim 263 lbs.
So what's her secret? June says she credits the whole thing to her active production schedule ... because she sure as hell hasn't cut back on the 'sketti, Ramen noodles and cheese puffs.
"I haven't done any surgeries ... no diet pills ... never went to the gym," June says ... "but with the show I've been more active."
She continues, "They have me running around and going different places ... I guess it's paying off."

'Honey Boo Boo' Co-Star BANNED from Show ... The Man Is NUTS!
Mama June is puttin' her foot down ... BANNING Crazy Tony from appearing on future episodes of "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" -- all because he's TOO DAMN crazy ... even for reality TV.
TMZ broke the story ... Tony was arrested in Nov. for taking part in a dangerous prank -- which involved a man scaring people on the side of a freeway in a giant gorilla suit -- a move Mama June was none too pleased about.
The "HBB" matriarch tells TMZ ... as of now, she's not comfortable having Tony appear on the TLC mega hit in light of the stunt, saying "We love him as a friend ... but that was a crazy story."
She continues, "Not trying to be mean, but we want to keep it family oriented."
Mama also makes it clear ... despite people calling him "cousin" on the show ... Tony's not related to the family, saying "Crazy Tony's just a family friend ... who is just crazy."
We reached out to Crazy, who told us he's super bummed out by the news ... adding, "TV's changed that family."

Honey Boo Boo First Redneck TRUS' FUND BABY!!
Honey Boo Boo is already the most famous redneck, and now she's set up to be the richest when she hits 21 ... courtesy of a trust fund set up by Mama June.
June tells TMZ ... the lion's share of earnings from "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" (a cool $15k - $20k per episode) is being equally divided into funds for all 5 girls ... Alana "HBB" Thomson (7), Lauryn (12), Jessica (15) and Anna (18) and baby Kaitlyn.
June says the little stars can't touch the cash until they turn 21 -- except in case of medical emergencies or using it for school -- saying, "I want my kids to look back and say, 'Mama played it smart. Not like those other reality TV people.'"
In fact, June tells us she never even sees the coin ... "TLC puts the money into the girls' trust accounts for me and then I get an email telling me how much everyone gets."
June added ... "You're never gonna see me drive a Range Rover or a Mercedes. I'll drive one if someone else pays for it. Never gonna live above my means."
As for their means ... Mama June says Sugarbear still rakes in cash from his contractor job, which is how they pay the bills.
The family's only major purchase since suddenly becoming famous is a Ford Expedition ... a 2005.

Too much go-go juice.

Honey Boo Boo should stay the hell away from "Dancing with the Stars" ... even if producers lowered the age to make her eligible to compete ... this according to "Dancing" pro Karina Smirnoff.

'Honey Boo Boo' Star to Cops GIVE ME BACK MY GORILLA SUIT!!!
No, it's not Bigfoot -- it's the gorilla suit confiscated by police last month following a dangerous prank involving "Honey Boo Boo" star "Crazy" Tony Lindsey ... and now, Tony's demanding the suit back, insisting cops are overreacting about the whole thing.
TMZ broke the story ... Lindsey was arrested last month for taking part in a prank that involved a man scaring traffic alongside a Georgia highway ... in a gorilla suit.
Lindsey wasn't wearing the suit, but cops arrested him anyway for taking part in the stunt -- along with the other adults involved. Meanwhile, the gorilla suit was booked into evidence while police investigate the incident.
But Lindsey -- who loves the suit and uses it often to scare his buddies -- is pissed, telling TMZ, "It's wrong of them to keep my gorilla suit ... they're treating me like I killed somebody!"
Lindsey adds, the arresting officer "could have just told us all to knock it off and go home."
TMZ spoke with the Wilkinson County DA, who says the suit is part of an ongoing investigation and it can’t be released from evidence until the case is closed.

'Honey Boo Boo' Star ARRESTED 'Sir, Where's the Gorilla Suit?'
File This Under ... THE CASE OF THE MYSTERIOUS GORILLA SUIT!
TMZ has learned ... one of the stars of "Honey Boo Boo" was arrested earlier this month after cops say "Crazy" Tony Lindsey (Boo Boo's cousin) was part of a group wreaking havoc on a Georgia highway ... with a gorilla suit.
According to the police report, obtained by TMZ, Deputy Joe Rozier says he was driving along Highway 20 around 11 PM ... when he noticed someone carrying out a very stupid, and dangerous, prank:
"I observed a white male dressed in a gorilla suit acting as if he was going to jump into my lane of travel. I swerved into the left lane to avoid an accident with the person."
Rozier claims he immediately stopped the car, whipped out his flashlight and went searching for answers ... and "observed several white males run up the embankment and into the woods."
Rozier says he shouted at the group that he was going to release his K-9 on the perps ... when someone yelled back, "You don't have to do that, we're coming back."
The officer says he eventually made contact with 5 adults and 2 kids ... but NONE of them had a gorilla suit. Eventually, Dep. Rozier says they 'fessed up to stashing the suit in the woods.'
After recovering the suit, Dep. Rozier says he arrested all of the adults for reckless conduct -- and booked them all into the local jail. The gorilla suit was taken into evidence.
Oh, and one more shocker ... cops say booze was involved.
The men have since been released from custody. A rep for "Honey Boo Boo" had no comment.

Honey Boo Boo Hey Y'all I'm a Swashbucklin' Pirate
Hordes of people dressed up as Honey Boo Boo this Halloween ... but the question on everyone's mind ... WHAT DID HONEY BOO BOO DRESS UP AS???
Answer: A bright-pink, goth-themed pirate!!!!! At least ... that's our best guess.
TMZ obtained a ridiculously, adorable pic of HBB -- real name Alana Thompson -- getting her trick-or-treat on during All Hallows Eve, and her costume was a far cry from redneckery and tiaras.
Donning a jet-black wig ... awesome bright-pink rocker stripes ... what we assume is a black-and-pink pirate dress (thanks skull & crossbones) ... and a purple pumpkin candy carrier ... HBB was all about bold statements.
We're told the night went really well ... she had a great time ... and ate some delicious candy -- her favorite being lollipops.
Um, duh.
