Melissa McCarthy's Incredible Weight Loss

Bridesmaids actress and comedian Melissa McCarthy has tongues wagging after she stepped out on the red carpet looking noticeably lighter.

And it turns out we're not just seeing things, too!

The superstar has actually lost 20kgs, and debuted her new bod at an event in Santa Monica, California over the weekend.

She's apparently been following a low carb, high protein diet after deciding to focus on her health, according to Star Magazine.

“Melissa realised she wasn’t being as healthy as she could be. She wants to set a good example for her kids and she wants to be around to become a grandmother too,” a friend told the magazine.

She revealed last year that she will be launching her own plus size clothing line, after top designers refused to dress her for red carpets.
