We Love To Gawk At Fit Celebs: Mary Murphy dropped 3 dress sizes in 3 months

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.

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.
Aslo to manish not femine not a woman should be. Sorry

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.
