Carrie Fisher is almost ready for that metal bikini again!
On Wednesday, the Star Wars actress, 54, debuted her 50-pound weight loss during an appearance on The Today Show. Fisher stunned in a black pantsuit and a cleavage-baring pink top.

The Hollywood vet and author slimmed down over the past nine months thanks to Jenny Craig, for whom she is a spokesperson.

When Fisher announced her Jenny Craig deal -- and weight loss goals -- back in January, she explained: "I'm pretty fearless, but my scale is frightening. So I would go to the doctor and I would stand not facing it. That's an adult! I have a child. So that’s something I'd like to not do anymore, be frightened of the scale."
During her Today Show appearance, she told Ann Curry "I couldn't leave the house" to go bra shopping. "I exhausted the alphabet on bra sizes."

And although Fisher had joked about trying on her iconic gold metal bikini she wore as Princess Lea in Return of the Jedi, she's not sure if women above the age of 50 should ever go sleeveless.
"I'm still probably not gonna wear a lot of sleeveless things. I lost 50 pounds. The Jenny Craig food is good....It tastes like you're cheating!"
What finally prompted her slimdown? "I weighed 3 million pounds! I couldn't look in the mirror. I thought that was getting old."
Tell Us What You Think
13Did she use Isagenix to do this. It is a fast, safe, all natural way to lose weight and get healthy. Visit Tremper Healthcare on facebook to learn more.
Jenny Craig really does work, if you do it right, because it's smaller portions of food with added fiber. You stay full longer. I lost 20lbs on it! The problem is that it is really expensive to buy the food each week (an average of $130 per week) and the food DOES NOT taste like you are cheating. It's good, especially the desserts and snacks, but it doesn't taste like "real" food after awhile... But, as I said, it DOES work!
On a recent interview with Ann Curry from the Today show, Fisher states that she thought gaining weight was part of getting old, but as it turns out, “it’s mostly getting fat.” http://bit.ly/mQTcaf
I’d like to quote Billy Crystal and say, “Carrie Fisher, you look… mahvelous!” http://bit.ly/r8xekU
The picture on the right looks like Rosanne Barr.
She looks great!
I'd love to compliment her on her new shape...but I can't SEE it. Dark jacket, dark background...good shot, Us. And I really can't tell that's her face, either. It looks TOO different. I know you can't tell your body where to lose weight, but she's lost so much in her face that she's unrecognizable now.
DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THIS STORY??? TAYLOR SWIFT SURPRISES FANS WITH JUSTIN BIEBER DUET TO FIND OUT JUST CLICK ITâ?¦
It look like she had gastric bypass to me? Ask how I know?
I think she actually looks better in the before picture! What did she do to her face?
has she ever tired running on a treadmill for 30 minutes a day?... probably not, helps to make money when losing weight doesn't it? ahhh lazy America... eat this expensive food instead of doing what we have done since the beginning of time "WORK OUT!"
Lookin' great, Carrie! Keep on keepin' on :)
I feel the way she did. I just can't stand it!!! Wish I could afford Jenny Craig. Oh well, maybe I can get weight watchers for Christmas, if my hubby saves!!!
