Melissa McCarthy, Weight - "Bridesmaids" actress Melissa McCarthy showed an amazing slimmer figure at the P.S. ARTS Express Yourself 2014, which took place recently.

According to the Daily Mail, the actress and comedian lost 45 pounds by doing a low carb, high protein diet. She didn't do it for any special role of some kind, though. It was for her children and family.

The main focus is good health and nothing beyond that, really.

"Melissa realized she wasn't being as healthy as she could be. She wants to set a good example for her kids and she wants to be around to become a grandmother too," a source said and Life and Style Magazine noted.

The funny actress is confident about herself, though, and never felt she needed to diet or watch what she was eating. In June, she had an interview with People and revealed the fact she hadn't always been that way.

She said that during her 20's she cried about not being the thinnest or prettier one out there. She also stated that she cried about almost everything, so it really wasn't that dramatic, or maybe everything was too dramatic.

Anyhow, she's always believed that it's not about what's on the outside, but rather to have fun and laugh in life, which is not something related to looks. Melissa McCarthy also shared then that she tried to show these values to her daughters.

The actress is married to Ben Falcone, who co-starred along her in "Bridesmaids." He was the agent she tried to seduce in the plane, who kept denying he was an agent.

Together, they have two daughters: Vivian, 7 and Georgie, 4.

Still, even if Melissa McCarthy finds other things to be so much more important than looks, the new look she's sporting looks great on her. The weight loss shows mostly in her face.

Hopefully, one thing that will never change about her is the natural ability she has to make others laugh.
