Reason for her weight loss...
I found the actual article I read about her weight loss:
The Incredible Shrinking Missy Elliott
A hip-hop artist sparking up the rumor mill is Missy Elliott. While there's been wild speculation on exactly how she was able to go from a size extra-large to a medium, Elliott told New York Magazine that after doctors advised her to lose some weight, she just threw herself into a fitness frenzy. "I go to the gym four or five times a day and I run," she told the magazine. "I get on the treadmill and do like 45 minutes."
Despite all the slimming down, she does admit that she still has bad eating habits. "I still eat wrong, but for the most part I spend so much time running that my body's like, 'Okay, away goes that steak and cheese, away goes that Twinkie.'" She's also careful to check the clock when she snacks. "I don't eat late," she said. "I probably stop around 8:30, but it should be earlier than that. Sometimes I'll be in the studio late, and it's like, 'Uh, guys, I get a Big Mac or some ice cream or something.'
Hmm, interesting diet strategy. So exactly how many pounds has she lost? Don't ask Missy, she refuses to step on a scale.
