Despite not winning this season of Dancing with the Stars, Alyson Hannigan has a tangible prize to show for her time on the dancing competition. In a recent Instagram post, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer alum, 49, flaunted her impressive weight loss progress, attributing her success to her stint on DWTS.
In a side-by-side comparison photo for her 2.2 million followers, she showcased her noticeably slimmer figure and transformation, revealing that she shed a total of twenty pounds. One photo depicted her before she began the competition, while the other emphasized the How I Met Your Mother star‘s current trim physique.
Alyson Hannigan Credits Time On 'DWTS' For Her Weight Loss Transformation
In her caption, Hannigan wrote: "The before and after says it all." She added that she shed "20 pounds of both weight and emotional baggage" during her time on the show, and she also took time to thank her partner Sasha Farber for their memorable collaborations and numbers for season 32 of DWTS.
"I can’t thank @sashafarber1 enough for helping me shed my insecurities and getting me to the confident and strong place I am today," Hannigan sweetly wrote. Fans and Hannigan's famous friends headed to her comment section to commend her major achievements.
"You look stunning in both, but this transformation is insane!" one user wrote regarding her two pics as another added: "You looked beautiful before, you still look beautiful, and I am so impressed with how much your dancing improved during your time on the show!"
Someone else noted: "You look beautiful in both but your smile is so bright in the second. I can see your happiness!!" Hannigan's Buffy co-star Sarah Michelle Gellar also chimed in, writing: "I just see confidence gained."
Despite receiving the lowest scores in the semifinals, Hannigan and Farber persevered and made it to the finals. This round saw no elimination among the five remaining duos.
However, after showcasing their salsa moves, the pair ultimately finished the competition in fifth place.
Expressing her gratitude for her experience on the show in another recent IG video, Hannigan revealed that she had initially embarked on the show with a feeling of fear predominating her emotions.

"To go into this journey with mostly fear, and come out how I feel now is indescribable," she wrote. Hannigan went on: "I cannot thank @sashafarber1 enough for everything he gave me, shared with me and experienced with me."
"I couldn’t have asked for a better partner. Thank you for not giving up on me. Thank you for giving me confidence and making me feel like I could do this and then getting me there and having so much fun along the way. I am so glad that you came into my life and you’re not gonna get rid of me now," she joked.
