Mel B Weight Loss: Scary Spice Reveals Newly Svelte Figure on Magazine Cover (PHOTO)

Woman's Day

As a mother of three, Scary Spice, aka Mel B, is no stranger to the struggles of losing weight post-baby. So after giving birth to her youngest daughter Madison back in September (2011), Mel signed on to become the new face for Jenny Craig in hopes of losing those excess pounds fast.

Now, six months later, Mel is showing off her successful weight loss with fabulous cover story in Australia's Woman's Day Magazine. According to the Spice Girl, she's lost over 33 pounds through Jenny's meal plan, as well as regular exercise. "The six-pack is back!" Mel joyfully tells the mag. "I'm the same girl from 15 years ago. Losing weight has made me the best mom possible. My energy's up!"

For her magazine shoot, Mel tried on numerous outfits -- including one designed by her spicey bandmate Victoria Beckham. And with her newly svelte frame, the singer had no trouble shimmying into the small sample size. "I didn't have to squeeze into it, there was no huffing and puffing, and I didn't have to put on a gazillion pairs of Spanx underneath," laughs Mel. "I don't even have to constantly suck my stomach in."

Now that she's reached her goal weight, Mel has a new goal in mind -- reclaiming all the clothes her oldest daughter, Pheonix, 16, had "stolen" during her pregnancy. "Well, the jeans were mine in the first place," Mel says of a pair of recently returned pants. "She stole them off me when I was pregnant, but now I fit back into them. So I'm taking them [her clothes] back, one by one."

Melanie's sporty bod and renewed energy couldn't have come at a better time. According to Mel, while the Spice Girls won't be performing this summer at the 2012 Olympics as previously reported, she's still hopeful for a reunion in the near future. Girl power!

Pheonix, is NOT 16, like stated in the above article by Sarah Chazan, Sarah, I advise you go back and do more research. Mel B's daughter just turned 13 not too long ago, per Mel B's tweets on twitter! Smh.

....ok, I may be way off base here, but I don't ever recall seeing Mel B not in shape. She's been very thin with an incredible ripped 6-pack. Hard to imagine that most extremely overweight people could EVER look like her since she was skinny & fit before she got pregnant - not a hard task to lose baby weight when she started off with low body fat.

I am sure that these weight loss programs probably do work for the majority of people, but who can afford them when you have a family to feed in addition to the cost of food for the program! The ones that can afford it are being paid to be the spokes person. Nutrisystem is no different and there are plenty more of them out there as well.

There is no better payment than a fit body.

"Mel signed on to become the new face for Jenny Craig in hopes of losing those excess pounds fast." That speaks volumes. That would be the same as saying "she joined a gym in hopes of losing those excess pounds fast" but that would mean she would have to pay money rather than get paid to lose weight. Same old story.

Must be nice to exchange so called "fame" for services..Here they are showing off their weight loss when it cost them nothing but a photo op..The average person does not have this luxury but could probably lose weight just as fast if given meals and plan for nothing as well.
