Mackenzie smiled for the camera as she held a cup of coffee in one hand.
The Teen Mom alum wrote in the caption: “2022 is all about finding the best version of ourselves. Let go of the past and move on with the future.
“Repeat after me: you do not have to live in the shadow of your past.

She went on: “This year Ryan and I are moving onward and upward! Come along on this journey with us!”
FAN SUPPORT
Fans gushed over Mackenzie’s look in the comments, letting her know how excited they are to see what’s next for her.
One follower commented: “You are so beautiful Love you, friend! 2022 is the year. So proud of you both!”
Another wrote: “Obsessed with this hair color on you!”
A third commented: “Oooooooo... I LOVE the dark hair!!!!!”
“LOOK AT YOU,” a fourth added, while others noted how much she’s “grown since leaving” the MTV show adding that she looked “healthier and happier”.
Mackenzie, Ryan and his family were axed by the network after his parents Jen and Larry’s nasty fight with Ryan’s baby mama Maci Bookout and her husband, Taylor McKinney, during the Teen Mom OG reunion show.
After months of feuding with Maci, concluding with their reunion fight, Larry revealed to The Sun that he and his wife Jen were fired from the show.
Ryan and his parents believed Maci was spreading lies about their side of the family and accused her of withholding her and Ryan's son Bentley.
It all came to an explosive head during the reunion special, which saw Jen and Larry sitting on a couch opposite Maci and Taylor.
They yelled back and forth, with Taylor sitting forward and angrily pointing his finger at Larry and Jen, arguing: “Ryan has never been there for him, but y’all put it on Bentley!”
Here's a look at Mackenzie's transformation through the years.
EARLY DAYS
Mackenzie made her Teen Mom OG debut several years ago amid her relationship with Ryan.
At the time, she had one child – son Hudson – from a previous relationship.
Mackenzie and Ryan eventually got engaged, then married, all before MTV's cameras.
BABY ON BOARD
The couple eventually welcomed kids of their own.
MTV watched as Mackenzie and Ryan prepared to welcome their son Jagger.
Her baby bump was on fully display in many episodes of the show.
She also documented the pregnancy on social media, though she has wiped many of her old posts.
Mackenzie and Ryan eventually had another child, daughter Stella.
Some of that pregnancy, as well as the baby's arrival, were also documented on Teen Mom OG and Instagram.
POST-BABY
After welcoming her children, Mackenzie underwent yet another transition.
She did so in a slow and quiet manner, eventually launching her latest business venture and resurfacing on social media in a big way.
Mackenzie has been open about her decision to get into fitness and start changing her physical appearance.
Asked by one fan how she started on her fitness and weight loss journey, Mackenzie explained: “Honestly I just started moving and I wanted to feel better.”
In addition to her fitness journey, the mom of three has changed her hair.
