Kelly Clarkson: There's "No Secret" to Her 30-Pound Weight Loss

Photo by Neil Mockford/FilmMagicDropping 30 pounds is no easy feat, but to hear Kelly Clarkson talk, you'd think it was the simplest thing in the world.  "There's no secret," she told Us Weekly after taping her show Duets on Thursday night.  "It's just trying to eat a little better and work out a little more."  Kelly says above all, she "loves performing no matter how big or little I am!  I feel good."

A source told Us Weekly that the reason Kelly decided to slim down is that she "saw how heavy she was" after watching a tape of her performance at VH1 Divas Celebrate Soul in December.  "She didn't like it," said the source.

Also contributing to Kelly's changed appearance?  Her new blonde hair, which she acquired  June 6.  "I love it!" she told the magazine. "People keep asking me if I am having more fun being blonde, but I always have fun!  Whether I'm blonde, redhead, or brunette, I always have fun, dammit!"
