Season 32 of “Dancing With the Stars” has been life-changing for Alyson Hannigan. The actress – who finished in fifth place on the hit ABC show with her professional dance partner Sasha Farber – shared her story and photos on Instagram Saturday.
“The before and after says it all. I lost 20 pounds of both weight and emotional baggage during my time on @dancingwiththestars,” wrote Hannigan alongside a side-by-side photo, one from her original “DWTS” promo shot and a snap from last week’s finale.
“I can’t thank @sashafarber1 enough for helping me shed my insecurities and getting me to the confident and strong place I am today!” she added. Farber responded by sharing the comparison picture and expressing how proud he was of the progress they made together.
“I believe dance is the best way to exercise stimulate the brain and have fun in the process!!!!!” Hannigan wrote. The “How I Met Your Mother” alum, 49, was applauded by several of her former “DWTS” competitors, including Alan Bertsen, Val Chmerkovskiy, and Harry Jowsey.
Hannigan’s post came one day after she raved about her experience on the dance competition show via a lengthy Instagram post.
