Snooki shows off slimmer figure on cover of Us Weekly

Jersey Shore starlet Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi shows off her svelte post-baby bod on the cover of Us Weekly.

The pint sized reality star adorns the cover of the new issue of Us Weekly, wearing short leopard print shorts and a matching bra top. Snooki, who is 4 foot 9 inches tall, admits that since giving birth to baby Lorenzo in August, she has lost 42 pounds.

According to the report, Snooki now weighs 102 pounds.

“When you have a baby, everything changes. I lost it for me,” she confesses, adding, "I also wanted Jionni to know that I can be hot as a mom."

Since giving birth, Snooki has toned down her partying ways and is more focused on being a mother and future wife to fiancé Jionni LaValle. The two have not officially set a wedding date, but have mentioned they wanted to wait for their son's arrival before taking a walk down the aisle.
