Mariah Carey's toned transformation: 6 months to size 6

Mariah Carey gave birth to twins Moroccan and Monroe in April, feeling "trapped in her own body" from the weight she had gained during her pregnancy.  During the next 6 months, the singer shed 30 pounds of what she calls "baby weight." How'd she achieve that toned transformation?

"I gained an enormous amount of weight," admitted Mariah to an Us magazine reporter. After her twins were born, Mariah decided to do a tag-team approach, choosing Jenny Craig for her diet as well as working out 3 times a week. The result: she slides smoothly into size 6 shorts.

Other stars who recently lost their "baby weight" include Jessica Alba and Heidi Klum.

How does Mariah feel now? "I feel incredible," Mariah announced. She proclaimed the babies "a huge blessing," and now is "proud of how hard I worked to get my body back...I had to do this for me."
