Lost a few pounds in my waist for ya…

Missy Elliott has always been supa dupa fly, but now that fly has a new frame!

Thanks to a lifestyle change prompted by her six-year battle with an autoimmune disorder, the 43-year-old rapper looked slim, trim and nearly unrecognizable this weekend as she attended and performed at Alexander Wang’s H&M launch in New York City.

Having already lost 70 pounds in 2002, Missy says she lost an additional 30 pounds recently, which she credits to eating healthy and Shaun T workout videos.

The rapper began taking her health seriously after being diagnosed with Graves disease (an illness that causes the thyroid gland to produce too much thyroid hormone) in 2008. Things got so bad at one point that Missy says she couldn’t even hold a pen to write! But since then, she appears to be doing really well. Hopefully this means we get a new album!
