Take a Look Inside Maurissa Gunn's Weight Journey: The Bachelor Star Reveals Shocking Weight Transformation!  

The former Miss Teen Montana and the controversial contestant of The Bachelor's 24th season, Maurissa Gunn, has been revealing quite the weight transformation lately. While the reality star's weight loss journey has received some mixed reactions, the story behind her undertaking has brought her utmost support from fans. 

Gunn was born on 2 June 1996 in Lauren, Montana. The Bachelor star works as a patient care coordinator at a plastic surgeon's office.

Gunn has appeared as one of the most talked-about stars of the season; she later returned for the season 7th of Bachelor in Paradise.  

"I Gained-Then Lost," Says Gunn! 

Gunn says competing in the pageant as a young girl destroyed her self-confidence and relationship with her body. The reality star started competing in pageants in her sophomore year; even though she won the coveted Miss Teen USA in 2013, she refers to it as the darkest period of her life.
