We’ve always know Mary J. had a powerhouse of a voice, but powerhouse of a body? The diva looks amazing in a sporty white bikini flaunting her fab abs on the cover of Shape Magazine’s December issue. And at 42!
The R&B songstress credits Whitney Houston for her physical transformation as her friend’s untimely passing led her to reassess her life. “Whitney Houston’s death really crushed me,” Mary J. explains. “I saw someone so incredibly talented just diminish, and I refuse to go out like that.”
The singer also admits an alcohol-, dairy- and gluten-free diet and limited carb intake have also contributed to her incredible transformation. In March, she also started working with NY-based trainer JR Allen. “He really pushed me to lift that weight one more time or run that extra mile.”
FAB readers, don’t say we don’t think of you – with Thanksgiving and Christmas just round the corner, this cover should be enough to make you think twice about your festive gluttony, right?
