Jo Dee Messina <\/a>stopped by the Taste of Country Nights<\/em><\/a> studio and was almost unrecognizable. She has completely changed up her whole look, and that includes a dramatic weight loss.<\/p>\n I asked Messina about some of her workout video clips she has posted recently, and it led to her explaining why she wanted to shed the pounds.<\/p>\n “I started to see pictures of myself and I didn’t recognize myself,” the “Heads Carolina, Tails California” star admitted.<\/p>\n She continued, “I wouldn’t let people take pictures. I’m like [to my assistant] ‘Just please stop taking pictures of me, I don’t even know who that is, it’s so gross.”<\/p>\n Sometimes being that hard on yourself is just the kick in the pants that one needs to do something about how they feel.<\/p>\n “So I said ‘I’m gonna do something about it,'” Messina continues. “This hasn’t been…it’s been two years. It wasn’t like ‘Hey, let’s pop a pill and be skinny in a month,’ this is like ‘keep going, keep going, keep going.'”<\/p>\n She talked about how she loves her exercise routine that she has fallen into, except for one day out of the week — leg day.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong>\u00a0Sorry Carrie Underwood, Jo Dee Messina Says You\u2019re WRONG About This!
