  I  have to give her credit she is trying.

I doubt they will be able to do any lifts unless she does the lifting.I hope to see her go a few more times. I saw her mom the first show wow she really has lost a lot of weight. Now if Alana can get on a good weight loss program

Honey Boo Boo Is Living Her Best Life on "Dancing With the Stars: Juniors"

In tumultuous times, Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson is the reality TV hero we need and deserve. No longer the Georgia pageant girl we remember from Toddlers & Tiaras, or Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, Alana is now 13 years old and thriving as a contestant on the first-ever season of Dancing With The Stars: Juniors. She does her own makeup, she flatters the judges, and yes, she's still the most quotable person on television.

As Alana put it in her intro package, she loves to "shine on stage and win trophies." And on DWTS: Juniors, that's exactly what she will continue to do. In this week's season premiere, she and 13-year-old partner Tristan Ianiero slayed the salsa to Gloria Estefan's "Conga." Earning 19 out of a possible 30 points, Alana's score was high enough to move on to the next round (and eliminate fellow contestant Tripp Johnston, Sarah Palin's grandson).

In an interview with People, Alana confessed it wasn't always easy competing against more experienced dancers, like Dance Moms alum Mackenzie Ziegler.

  

"I did hit a breaking point at one time," she recalled. "Mackenzie Ziegler is on the show and I was like, 'I'm never going to be better than her.' But I kind of got past it because you don't have to be the best dancer to win. It's not just about being the best dancer. It's about having fun, too."

But with the support of mentor Artem Chigvintsev, she found the confidence to move past her nerves and frustrations. After her DWTS debut, judges Mandy Moore, Adam Rippon, and Val Chmerkovskiy praised her beauty, confidence, and ability to stay in character throughout the entire performance.

"If you're questioning your abilities — I mean, I thought dancing was going to be the hardest thing ever to learn and to do, but it wasn't as hard as I thought once we got the hang of it," she told People. "If you're going to do something, don't be afraid to do it and just do it!"

Spoken like a true champion, amirite?
