“I truly stopped worrying about it,” Melissa told Life & Style Magazine about her recent weight loss. “I think there’s something to kinda loosening up and not being so nervous and rigid about it that, bizarrely, has worked.”

One month later, Melissa McCarthy made quite an impressive sartorial display in New York City.

She was spotted arriving at the Crosby Hotel dressed in an understated but chic and classy layered ensemble.

Earlier in the day, she appeared on CBS This Morning alongside director Paul Feig to discuss their latest film, Spy, and their Ghostbusters reboot, which is reported to begin filming in two weeks.

The 44-year-old actress, who looked noticeably slimmer, was asked by the show’s co-host Gayle King about her weight loss secrets.

She jokingly responded, “Just crying a lot; I’m crying off the pounds.” She later added, “I feel amazing and I finally said, ‘Oh, for God’s sake, stop worrying about it,’ and it may be the best thing I’ve ever done.”
