Alyson Hannigan has shown an incredible body transformation as of late, and no, it’s not because of any diet. The Buffy the Vampire Slayer star credits her stint on Dancing With the Stars for her weight loss, along with some baggage, as she becomes one of the remaining five couples competing for the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy in the show’s 32nd season, along with her partner, Sasha Farber. As they go on this amazing journey together, they open up about their growth in this competition.
Alyson Hannigan Has Lost Several Pounds Because of Dancing With the Stars
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Sasha Farber talked about his and Alyson Hannigan’s time in Dancing With the Stars as they made their way to the finals.
“I think this week, the rehearsals were very different,” he said. Though he admitted it was stressful and hard, with times that they would continuously be dancing and stop, he would look like his partner and hug her as he realized they were already “here.”
“We would pause. It was, ‘There’s no one going home and we’ve made it.’ And she’s made it,” he continued. From there, he revealed that Alyson had lost 20 pounds.

“And she’s actually lost 20 pounds!” he said, with Alyson concurring. “I did,” she responded. “I’ve lost 20 pounds.”
The American Pie star explained that losing 20 pounds had also helped her to shed the “baggage” that came with “some security.” She described most of those pounds as baggage of emotions and insecurities, saying 15 pounds of it were all insecurities.
With this transformation, Alyson is now beaming with confidence.
Alyson Hannigan Reveals Reason Behind Wanting to Win Dancing With the Stars
Meanwhile, talking about their time in Dancing With the Stars, Alyson Hannigan believed that the perfect ending for her and Sasha Farber’s journey together was to win the mirrorball trophy. It should have been the first time Sasha would take home this prestigious award, but Xochitl Gomez and Val Chmerkovskiy came out as the big winners.
The 49-year-old continued that her partner had worked so hard to reach the top and even became like a search engine for her, like Google, to explain all the dance terms.
“He’s everything, and it would just be so nice to, like, be able to reward him with something shiny, and I like shiny things,” she said.

However, despite not winning the show, Sasha felt the victory was his with the bond he had formed with Alyson. Seeing the actress lose 20 pounds and come into the competition as shy, unconfident, and inexperienced when it came to dancing, her massive transformation began when she could already stand on her own two feet—coming out strong and powerful.
He continued that Dancing With the Stars is “about the underdog,” who has come in without dancing experience, delivering, and coming out on top.
“She’s climbed the mountain,” he added.
For someone who has been on the show for many seasons, Sasha wanted Alyson to enjoy her time. With the dancers and couples the series has, he continued that the heart and what the show is all about are the newbies.
Of course I voted for Alyson Hannigan
She is the epitome of what #DancingWithTheStars is all about
She’s not a professional dancer. She’s not a trained athlete.
She’s a celebrity we’ve all watched progress as the weeks have gone on. pic.twitter.com/ozx2UEb5SP

And to add more about Alyson’s body transformation, he now referred to it as the “Body of Sasha” with all their hard work.
Alyson Hannigan’s weight loss just proved the hard work she has put into Dancing with the Stars. Though they didn’t wint the 32nd season, as Sasha Farber says, they have already come out as big winners with the friendships they have built and everything they have learned from the show. By the looks of it, the mirrorball trophy will be just be a bonus for them.
