Real Housewives of Atlanta star NeNe Leakes recently revealed that she slimmed down a bit for her stroll down the aisle. She originally set out to drop a few pounds and wound up 20 pounds lighter and feeling better than ever!
Don’t get it twisted though – NeNe loves her curves and is certainly not one for crash diets or calorie counting.
“I only wanted to lose 5 or 10 pounds,” she said. “I like being a curvy girl. I tried to give up soda and not eat late at night. But I don’t avoid eating. I’m not trying to starve myself. I love food.”
“I don’t count calories or carbs,” she told Life & Style magazine. “Counting doesn’t get me anywhere. I do portion control when trying to lose weight. Eat less, move more.”
Aside from cutting out late night snacking and sugary sodas, NeNe said she started exercising – something she rarely did before. She also says she burns plenty of calories trying to keep up with her 16-month-old glam baby Bri’asia.
“I feel so much lighter,” she added. “like I’m floating!”
Nene got hitched again to Greg Leakes in June, and you can see all the behind the scenes drama on her show I Dream of Nene: The Wedding, Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on Bravo.
