Melissa McCarthy: My Weight's a Work in Progress

Melissa McCarthy

Melissa McCarthy says her weight is a work in progress, but she's not worried about it.

"I've been up and down," McCarthy told Anderson Cooper on his talk show Monday. "I've been much thinner since my second baby. I'm still working on it. It's a work in progress."

The Emmy-winning Mike & Molly star, who's starting a plus-size clothing line, joked that she'd love to wake up "at, like, 94 pounds," but knows that's not going to happen. Still, she says she's not going to expend too much time and energy trying to be wafer thin with a job and a family on her plate.

"There's so many other things to worry about," McCarthy, 41, says. "I'll keep working on [my body]. I just can't put any time to worrying about it."
