The dancer recently posted a throwback to high school with her best friend, Heather Sykes. Fans love walking down memory lane with the TLC star and can’t wait to hear the stories behind her snaps.

For nine seasons, Whitney has been steadfast in her relationships with her Greensboro group.

Since TLC signed her up for her show, she has been taking the body-positive world by storm and showing that you can still have a fabulous life no matter what your size. Heather, Tal Fish, Todd Beasley, Buddy Bell, and Ashley Baynes have been by her side through good times and bad, making it clear these are special friendships.

Over the weekend, Whitney took to her social media to share a cute photo of her and Heather from their high school days.
