To say Mariah Carey was excited to learn she was pregnant with twins last year would be an understatement, the new age music super star(who’s married to Nick Cannon) wasn’t quite as happy about the excess 70 pounds she piled on during pregnancy.

Six months after giving birth to babies Moroccan and Monroe, 41-year-old Mariah became a spokesperson for the Jenny Craig weight-loss program, which she credits with helping her lose her last 30 pounds. (Those first 40, she says, was just water weight.) “I feel better in every way,” Mariah told USA Today in November. “To me, it’s mind, body and soul. I was in a bad place physically during my pregnancy.”
