If you watched last week's finale of So You Think You Can Dance, you were probably as impressed as I was with Mary Murphy when she got out from behind the judges' table and did a hot ballroom dance with Season Two's Dmitry Chaplin (who, as I had hoped/expected, opened his shirt at the end -- man I've missed him!).

At 39 years old, Mary showed that she not only still had the moves, but the lady's got a body! And, apparently, that body is courtesy of doing the Core Rhythms program (a dance workout incorporating lots of Latin movements) every day. Mary lost 30 pounds in three months, dropping from a size 14 to a size 8.

She's also following a healthful diet, eating lots of veggies, chicken, and Egg Beaters. She's thrilled with her new body, and with the fact that she can wear short dresses again.

Wow, she looks great. I also read that she eats mostly vegetarian. I recently stopped eating a lot of processed food and eating more lean meats and natural grains and dropped 25 pounds in about 3 months too. I have fitflax in yogurt every morning (that I read about in O mag) which is a golden roasted flax and chia blend that is yummy, low carb/low calorie and does not have to be ground. http://www.fitflax.com Oprah also gave a code that gives you 15% off. I think it is good till the end of Aug. The code is FIT15

I find Mary a bit over the top, but am impressed with her weight loss. I find that she also does not dress in flattering manner. I also love fitflax, it helped me to lose weight and also does wonders for your skin and helps you to be regular. It is loaded with Omega 3's and 6's and tastes like peanut butter. Oprah's friend Gayle talked about sprinkling it on salad which is what I do

Good for her! I'm happy for anyone with enough perseverence to lose weight. BTW, I loved her enthusiasm but hated the screaming!!

Let me see, Kristen: If I said: " Jane Doe, who, as I had hoped/expected, opened her shirt at the end. Man, I've missed her!" Would there have been any postings from ladies decrying my crude sexism?

This is one lady who is so much into herself. She is loud and annoying. I do not watch trhe show because of her. Thats only my decision. I just don't care for her.

I agree. Her weird-shaped fat head is annoying...

Imagine that. Someone can eat healthy, avoid crap and lose weight. There's a revelation. Toss in some dancing or exercise and it's amazing what a fat person can do in 3 months. ????? I dont get it.
