Jenny Craig Company announced Mariah Carey as its latest Brand Ambassador and the songstress said that she lost 30 pounds since starting its weight loss and diet program in late July, three months after she gave birth to her twins Moroccan and Monroe Cannon.

The 41-year-old singer showed off her slimmer figure on Tuesday’s episode of “The Rosie Show,” Rosie O’Donnell’s talk show, which airs on Oprah Winfrey’s OWN cable network.  She was lowered onto the stage on a crescent moon-shaped prop.  Two men in suits then helped her up and escorted her to O’Donnell, who gave her a hug.  The singer revealed that her new physique is the result of a strict diet and exercise routine.  Carey said that in the beginning when she first had babies she had so much edema, water and swelling noting that most pregnant women have that just in their feet.  According to her, she did not think she would ever be the same person.  After the twins were born, Mariah went on the Jenny diet plan (formerly Jenny Craig) and she was thrilled with the results.  According to the singer, she lost 40 lbs. in the first week noting that it was just water initially.  She said that she lost at least 30 lbs. of weight needed to be lost when she started with the program.

Carey and husband Nick Cannon, 31, welcomed son and daughter Moroccan and Monroe in April. Carey, whose height spans 5-foot-9-inches, has not revealed how much weight she gained during her pregnancy. She said in a video interview with OWN personality Gayle King, which was provided by Jenny Craig, that she avoided looking at the numbers of the scale when she was weight at the doctor’s office.

According to the singer, the nurse who was taking her weight when she went for check-ups (during her pregnancy) told her that if she does not want to look she does not have to.  She remembered replying that she would not and she knew that it was a number that she never want to see again describing it as huge and enormous

The singer claimed that she never weighed herself noting that people will think that she is a liar but it is true.  She added another cliché phrase and said that she is a big boned girl.  She said that she was tall and so she always weighs more.  She claimed that she would tend to go, does a size dress fit her that she wore three years ago noting that she would go by what she looked like and how she felt.

The singer said three other weight loss and diet companies approached her before speaking to officials at Jenny Craig.  She says she hopes to lose more weight on the Jenny Craig program.  The magazine features Carey and her post-pregnancy body on the cover of its latest issue.  Other celebrities who have served as Jenny Craig spokes models include Alerie Bertinelli, “Star Wars” star Carrie Fisher, who dropped 50 pounds, and actress Sara Rue, who said she lost 50 pounds on the program.

Singer songwriter Mariah Carey together with his new husband Nick Cannon introduced their 6-month-old-twins to the world during an interview on ABC’s ‘20/20’ with Barbara Walters on Friday night.  In a sneak peek, which does not show the babies’ faces, the 41-year-old is seen cooing over her children after opening the doors of the New York City home she shares with husband Nick Cannon, 31.  Little girl Monroe is seen wearing a white puffy dress, while Moroccan looks adorable in a suave camel-coloured blazer.  During their chat with Walters, the super star couple discuss all things parenthood, revealing that the twins already have been given the nicknames ‘Roc and Roe.’  Nick said to Barbara that his family gives him everything and the unconditional love means the world to him.  For him, it is his completion.  Mariah proudly added that it is just love and it is a beautiful place to be.

Mariah and Nick welcomed their twins Moroccan and Monroe who they affectionately refer to as “Dem Babies” in April 2011, on the couple’s third anniversary.  Mariah shared her pregnancy experience to Barbara claiming that it is not that easy.  The singer said that she does not think that she understand the enormity and the magnitude of what it really does to one’s body.  She claimed that it is difficult for others to understand what she went through specially carrying two babies unless somebody has been through it explaining that her pregnancy was very unique in terms of what happened to her.

What happened was extended bed rest, a few false alarms and several trips to the hospital, all of which left Mimi wondering if her body would ever recover from the physical strain.  According to the singer she has serious back problems and she was afraid that she was not going to be able to walk properly again confirming that it was a huge strain.

As for how the twins entered the world when Mariah hit her 35th week of pregnancy, it was a sound; both mom and dad were very familiar with.  She told Barbara that they came into the world to a live version of her song ‘Fantasy.’  According to her, the only reason that she wanted it to be the live version is because she wanted them to hear the applause upon entering the world.

Walters also go through the couple’s relationship asking if Mariah trusts her just three years husband.  The new mom answered ‘sometimes’ after taking a moment and looking at her husband while Nick jokingly protest to the side.  Mariah responded by asking the husband if she can trust him more than sometimes and Nick answering absolutely.  Mariah then said that she trust him.  Barbara asked the couple if they are happy together and Nick replied absolutely.  Mariah agreed to the husband and jokingly added especially when he is nice.  According to her, when he is nice he is the best guy in the world.  Barbara was curious when there are times that Nick is not nice, and the singer told Barbara that he is a man and said that they just call it what it is.
