In an interview with Extra, Kelly, 36, revealed that her major weight fluctuation was the result of a thyroid disorder. "I literally read this book, and I did it for this autoimmune disease that I had and I had a thyroid issue, and now all my levels are back up," the singer said. "I’m not on medicine anymore because of this book."

And the "Since You've Been Gone" singer added that she hasn't been exercising, so her weight loss is entirely attributed to this lifestyle change. "I’m not working out!" she said. "I think people think I’m working out and I’m like, 'Don’t think I’m going to come play some sport!' Literally, I haven’t worked out at all!"
