Carey’s First Performance Post-Babies

Mariah Carey has made her glorious return to the stage a mere 10 months after giving birth to twins Moroccan and Monroe.

The 41-year-old part-Venezuelan Grammy-winning singer performed at Gotham Hall in New York City during the Caesar’s EntertainmentEscape to Total Rewards” event.

Carey, who gave birth to her twins with husband Nick Cannon in April, told the crowd, “It’s my first performance since having dem babies!”

Carey—who revealed her post-baby baby on the cover of Us Weekly last November—wore a form-fitting black dress onstage, and performed hits like “Shake It Off,” “Touch My Body,”  “It’s Like That,” “Obsessed” and “We Belong Together.” Carey dedicated “Always Be My Baby” to her two babies.

Carey also told the crowd that she wanted to bring “dem babies” to the show, but said, “It’s time for them to be asleep.”

Later in the show, Carey gave a shout out to her husband Canon, who recently stepped down from hosting his radio show after suffering from health scares, most recently, blood clots in his lungs.

Carey Reveals Her Post-Baby Body…

It’s hard to believe Mariah Carey gave birth just six months ago, especially after seeing her on the cover of Us Weekly

The 41-year-old part-Venezuelan songstress—who gave birth to twins Moroccan and Monroe in late April, who now have a dedicated website—shows off her slim physique and oh-so-toned stomach on the cover of  this week’s issue of the celebrity news and gossip magazine.

“I gained an enormous amount of weight,” the Grammy-winning superstar tells Us of giving birth to her son and daughter on April 30—on her third anniversary of her wedding to Nick Cannon.

So how did Carey lose the baby weight? Starting in July, she began working with a nutritionist to create a 1,500-calorie-a-day menu. And, she partnered with Jenny (formerly Jenny Craig) to create a three-times-per-week workout plan.

“I feel incredible,” says Carey, just three months after beginning her body transformation. “It was a huge blessing to be able to have the babies, but I felt trapped in my body because I couldn’t move.”

During a recent appearance on The Rosie Show, Carey—looking fierce in a black mini and leather jacket—opened up about her first week on the Jenny diet plan.

“It was just water, initially,” Carey told show host Rosie O’Donnell. “When I started with the program, I lost at least 30 lbs. of weight that needed to be lost.”

Carey says she never weighed herself while shedding the pounds.

“I would tend to go, ‘Does this size dress fit me that I wore three years ago? I’m good, let’s go,’” recalled Carey. “I would go by what it looked like, how I felt.”

And by the grin on her face on that Us cover, it’s easy to see she’s pleased with the results!
