TEEN Mom star Ryan Edwards’ wife Mackenzie resurfaced in a rare video and shared a quote about “being comfortable in your skin.”
Sporting a nose ring, aviator sunglasses and a red sweatshirt while sitting in the car, the pony-tailed MTV reality star says, “Repeat after me, ladies: Gorgeous, gorgeous girls, do not let Testosterone Terrys intimidate nor dictate our time at the gym.”

She wrote, “Today is not the day to be intimidated.
“It has taken me so long to be comfortable in my own skin!
“It’s not a secret that the gym can be a place to make you feel weird.
“Especially people acting like they own the place!
“Don’t let a person, place or thing control you like that!
“We don’t have to let anyone make us feel intimidated without our consent. Go girls!”

Fans expressed approval.
One commenter said, “Yes! Take up space, women!”
Another poster said, “I go to the gym 5 days a week….walk in there like the beast you are.
“Most of them look so ridiculous walking around like they do.
“They get intimidated by us women when we are confident in ourselves and have the stank attitude of I don’t give a f**k.
“Show up and show out.
“You’ve got this ladies!”
A supporter added, “Love this! I often feel intimidated but no more!”
NEW HAIR, NEW BOD
Last month, Mackenzie took to her Instagram Stories to reveal her darkened locks.
The Teen Mom star showed off her ‘do in a car selfie as she smiled for the camera.
She captioned her post: “My girl took me to the dark side and I’m here for it hunniiiii,” before tagging her hairstylist.
That wasn’t the only change: Mackenzie showed off major weight loss in December.
The mother of three shared a rare photo that displayed her toned figure in a white T-shirt and skintight black leggings.
The MTV star held a sign for Hotworx fitness studio in the picture to promote the exercise venue.
Her fans flocked to the comments to praise her evolution, with one writing: “Girl you look amazing!”
Another added: “I seriously have to do a double-take @mackedwards95 is that you?? Dang girl what is your secret I swear you’re so healthy and thin.”
SHEDDING THE BABY WEIGHT
Last summer, Mackenzie divulged she was putting in hard work with her fitness and nutrition regimen after welcoming daughter Stella Rhea in January 2020.
What’s her secret?
“Gluten/dairy-free, did a food sensitivity test, reverse dieted out of keto into moderate carbs,” she told one followed who asked about her daily diet.
She added that she’s been eating “specific macros” and lifting heavy weights to shape up her body.
Aside from Stella, Mackenzie also shares her three-year-old son Jagger with her husband Ryan, as well as son Hudson from a previous marriage.
In addition, she is stepmom to 13-year-old son Bentley, whose mom is Maci Bookout.
Mackenzie has said her kids inspired her to get up in the morning and kickstarted her weight loss journey.
She wrote: “Why do you want to be a better you? Or why do you not? Why do you stand up for what you believe in?
“We all have to answer these questions. It’s up to us to decide why we want to do things.
“My ‘why’ is my family and my children. Be better. Be stronger. Be you. That’s my ‘why.’”
WARRING COPARENTS
The battle with Maci still rages on after she slammed her ex on Teen Mom Family Reunion premiere last month.
The issues, which include a verbal exchange that led to Ryan being hit with a restraining order, have played out on Teen Mom through the years.
In the beginning of the episode, Maci mentioned that she had been on the show for 13 years.
She said: “Ryan is my oldest son’s biological father.”
Footage of the former couple aired on the show, culminating with Maci storming off from a car.
She went on to say during the episode: “I couldn’t tell you the last time I spoke to him.”
Bentley became estranged from his father due to his addiction battle.
Ryan went to rehab in 2018.
After splitting from Maci, Ryan met Mackenzie, tied the knot and have two kids of their own.
Meanwhile, Maci is married to Taylor McKinney.
She and her husband share daughter Jayde, six, and Maverick, five.
Ryan will not appear on Teen Mom Family Reunion.
Maci and Taylor got a restraining order against Ryan after he allegedly threatened violence against them.
They have had a rocky relationship since.
Ryan’s parents, Jen and Larry, also have a strained relationship with Maci and Taylor.
Things came to a head during the last Teen Mom OG reunion, at which Ryan’s dad, Larry, lunged at Taylor after a heated exchange.
Both of their wives held them back.
