Former Jersey Shore wildchild Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi says she’s lost 42 pounds since giving birth to her first child last summer. At 102 pounds, the reformed baddie credits a healthy diet and the guidance of tough celebrity trainer Anthony Michael with delivering thrilling results.

“I ate everything: brownies, cookies, pasta and a lot of cheese. But when I started working with Anthony, he put me on his Express Home Meals. I eat things like a burger wrapped in lettuce or a salad with strawberries and chicken.”

Snooki — who battled an eating disorder in her teens — struggled to regain her pre-baby body after the August arrival of son Lorenzo. In November, a discouraged Snooki revealed that the last 20 pounds of her pregnancy weight simply refused to budge. She also admitted she was unhappy the stretch marks on her stomach. The 25-year-old was determined to prove to her fiance, Jionni LaValle, that she has what it takes to be a total MILF.

“I lost it (the weight) for me, but I also wanted Jionni to know that I can be hot as a mom.”

On Twitter Wednesday, she urged followers to check out her bikini-clad shot on the cover of Us Weekly, writing:

“Hard work pays off Big thanks to my trainer.”
