Amy, 35, took to her Instagram account to share a video with fans.
In it, she updated fans on her weight loss journey, revealing that she tried on a pair of pre-pregnancy jeans and was able to comfortably wear them.
She said in the clip: “Let me just tell you a story real quick. I’m gonna make this as real as possible. I had this pair of jeans in my closet before I even had Dax – Before I was even pregnant – and I thought to myself, I can’t wear them but I love them. I think I got them for, like, $10, and I was like, ‘That’s it’.”
“‘I’m gonna get them and they’re my incentive jeans and I’m just gonna try every once in a while to see if I can wear them.’ Y’all, I tried them on today for going to dinner and they fit and I’m not even kidding. Like, there’s room. Like I can live in them. You know? Like, live. and I’m not hurting.”
As for how she got there, Amy said: “I feel like I really tried to work out and eat high protein and the work is really paying off.”
For followers in similar situations, she urged: “Don’t give up.”
It wasn’t just the jeans that fans were focused on, though, it was the tiny crop top she paired them with.
Fans flooded the comments with positivity, gushing over Amy’s palpable confidence.

GO GIRL
Jessa Duggar wrote: “I love it! Go, Amy!”
A fan commented: “Yay, you go girl. Absolutely love a clothes boost, I call them my no scales victories.”
Someone else chimed in: “You look beautiful.”
A fourth fan echoed that sentiment, writing: “Congratulations. You are beautiful always.”
Another chimed in: “You are the cutest!! I love your jeans even more because of how excited you are. You’re everyone’s hype girl and that’s what I love the most about you!”
RULE BREAKER
This departure from the family dress code isn’t the first time Amy has broken the Duggar’s rules.
Recently, she took son Daxton to a thrift store to “shop fall.”
She posted a short video giving fans a tour of the fall-themed shelves at the store, with Halloween decorations scattered throughout.
The video showed witches, skeletons, haunted lawn signs and other scary decorations.
Amy didn’t shy away or try to hide the Halloween decorations either.
At one point, she even panned over a pumpkin sign that read: “Happy Halloween.”
The Duggar family has been outspoken about their decision not to celebrate Halloween.
BOO HOO
In a deleted post, Michelle wrote: “While we do go to pumpkin patches and corn mazes, we don’t do the Halloween thing.”
Michelle added: “From the beginning of our marriage, we just kind of felt like we didn’t want to celebrate that holiday.”
Amy’s cousin, Jinger, also married into a family that abstains from Halloween.
Jinger’s husband, Jeremy Vuolo, disagrees with the “disturbing” and “Satanic origins” of the holiday.
But, he believes the holiday can be celebrated in a “pure” way.
The couple recently celebrated the holiday, with Jinger dressing up as a tiger.
Sister Jill has also been known to celebrate the spooktacular holiday by decorating and dressing her kids in costume.
Of course, this isn’t the first time Amy participated in the ghoulish holiday.
Last year, she posted a throwback Instagram photo that broke almost every Duggar rule in the book.
In the photo, Amy is dressed as Julia Roberts’ character in Pretty Woman.
Her costume showed much more skin than anticipated, and they spent the holiday in sin city, Las Vegas.
CHRISTIANITY CONTROVERSY
Although Amy is drastically different from her fundamentalist family, she has been adamant that she’s still a Christian.
In fact, she faced controversy from fans after calling herself an “old school” Christian.
In the clip, posted to her Instagram Story, she appeared to be reading her paperback Bible while other church-goers used their phones.
She captioned the video: “I’m so old school.”
However, the ex reality star captured her “old school” bible on her smartphone.
After seeing the post, Duggar fans ran to an online thread to share their thoughts on Amy’s video.
One wrote: “Taking a video during church… While bragging about using a paper bible instead of their phone.”
Another called reacted: “I’m no longer very religious, but I can not imagine taking photos for social media in church. It seems incredibly inappropriate.”
Other users were confused at what point Amy was trying to make: “Can someone explain how bringing a Bible (to what I assume is a church service) old school? I thought that’s what you’re supposed to do?”
While some people were unimpressed at her attempt to be traditional: “If she were truly “old school,” her Bible would be in Hebrew. Or Greek.”
