Melissa McCarthy Shows Off Slimmer Figure!
Actress Melissa McCarthy looked noticeably svelte at the P.S. Arts Express Yourself event last weekend, and has reportedly lost 45 pounds!
Shape.com reports the "Mike & Molly" star has been following a high protein, low carb diet to shed the weight.
McCarthy has been outspoken about criticism over her size, telling People.com last June that she's "never felt like I needed to change."
She said of her career in Hollywood, "I've always thought, 'If you want somebody different, pick somebody else.'”
The mom, however, has also said she wanted to maintain a healthy lifestyle and body image for her two young daughters. Melissa is married to actor/writer Ben Falcone.
McCarthy is currently earning rave reviews as a beleaguered single mom in the dramedy “St. Vincent,” also starring Bill Murray.
