Mariah Carey continue...
The singer last year said on the Rosie O’Donnell talk show, "In the beginning, when I first had babies, I had so much edema … water and swelling. Most pregnant women have that just in their feet. One day I was doing my thank-you notes and I noticed it started rising up the leg, so I had edema … I didn't think I would ever be the same person."
Eventually, Carey did lose the extra pounds through the Jenny Craig weight-loss program. She is now the Grand Ambassador of the company. "The first week, I lost 40 pounds … of just water," she told O’Donnell. "When I started with the program, I lost at least 30 pounds of weight that needed to be lost."
Carey added, "I would tend to go, 'Does this size dress fit me that I wore three years ago? I'm good, let's go.' I would go by what it looked like, how I felt."
