The "American Idol" winner graces the cover of the August issue of Shape and shares with fans how and why she changed her body.
"I just wanted to be healthy," she explains. "I remember thinking, 'I'm in my prime. I should be happy and fit.' That was the moment I decided that changes needed to be made," she recalls.
"I had to address when, what, and how much I was eating," she says. And she's loving the results that have come out of her hard work, calling them: "awesome."
Check out which other stars have battled the bulge and won.

Carey has been making the rounds lately showing off her newly-slimmed physique after giving birth to twins earlier this year.
The pop diva said she lost 40lbs of bloat, and dropped an additional 30 using Jenny Craig.
She is now a spokeswoman for the brand.
“The whole point of this is not just like: ‘Oh, hey, look at me and my weight loss, I’m fantastic.’ It’s really health,” she told Rosie O’Donnell in an appearance on her show. “Like I said, I learned it when I became helpless and felt so vulnerable like never before in my life.”
Funnyman Jonah Hill dropped 40 pounds this year after working out with a personal trainer and a nutritionist.
The "Moneyball" star said he thought it was important to be healthier so he changed his lifestyle.
Of the weight loss he said, "It's not fun. I wouldn't say it's the most fun endeavor I've ever took on in my life -- but it's important. And I'm enjoying it."

John is down 100 lbs!
He showed off his new svelte physique on Letterman last June explaining that he was "pushing 400" or "somewhere up around there" when he was his heaviest.
"I'd lose 60 pounds every spring, and then I got too fond of the barley corn and I'd just start missing it too much," he explained, "and then it would just screw everything up. I'd gain it all back and then some every year."
The 58-year-old actor says that he doesn't want to "go nuts" and lose more weight.
"I'm not going to look like Paris Hilton or anything like that," he joked. "It's going to be an ongoing process for the rest of my life."

Drew Carey
"The Price is Right" lost 80 lbs. in 2009. Why?
"I was sick of being fat on camera. Really, I just got sick of it. Once I started losing weight [and] started dropping a couple pant sizes, then it was easy 'cause once you see the results, then you don't wanna stop."
How did he get such amazing results?
"Basically no carbs, not even a cracker. No bread at all... No starches of any kind. Egg whites in the morning or Greek yogurt [and] some fruit."
Another huge perk to his dramatic weight-loss?
The type II diabetic has his blood sugar in check. "I'm not a diabetic anymore," he tells People. "No medication needed."
Seth Rogen
Seth reportedly followed Harley Pasternak's Five Factor regime to lose weight to play "The Green Hornet."
And by doing so, he feels like he's let his fans down.
"I think for chubby guys, I was their guy so they were like, ‘I can be chubby. Seth Rogen’s chubby, so who cares,'" he says. "But now I’m not so chubby anymore. So now they’re like, ‘I have to lose weight.’ I’ve let them down. I’ve
blatantly sold out. It’s only for money.”
Queen Latifah
Queen Latifah became a Jenny Craig spokesperson in 2008.
“My intention was to lose five to 10 per cent of my bodyweight because it makes a difference with health related issues," she continues. "I achieved that goal in a couple of months.”

It remains to be seen what she will be doing to shed the weight from baby number 3.
America Ferrera
America Ferrera lost her pounds the good old fashioned way - diet and exercise.
