Snooki loses 42 pounds and shows off her new post-baby figure in US Weekly.

Snooki, aka Nicole Polizzi, posed for the latest cover of US Weekly in a leopard print bikini. The new mom is proud of her slim new figure and reportedly lost 42lbs after giving birth to her son, Lorenzo, in August of last year.

"I lost it for me," she says in an interview for the new issue of US Weekly. "But I also wanted (fiance) Jionni (LaValle) to know that I can be hot as a mom."

The 25-year-old party girl posed for pictures that show off her hot bod to accompany her US Weekly interview. The 4-foot-9-inch star now weighs in at 102 pounds and the magazine cover also shows a photo of her taken when she was much heavier.

And it is not just Snooki's body that has gotten a makeover. The former Jersey Shore star has had a lot of major life changes in recent months.

Her highly publicized pregnancy and the birth of her son six months ago have changed the course for Snooki, who rose to fame for her MTV nightlife.

Snooki has reportedly said she plans on having four kids in total and has talked freely about the changes in her body. Even though, she remarked, her first pregnancy hit her body hard, leaving behind stretch marks and "a mommy pouch."

After completing her entourage of rugrats, Snooki has announced plans to follow in the footsteps of her best friend, Jenni 'Jwoww' Farley, and get a boob job.

"I've always wanted a boob job because I have big boobs, but when I take the bra off, they sag. I hate that," said Snooki. "Everyone's telling me to get them done after I have my kids. So I'm going to pop 'em out and then get a boob job. I love Jenni's [fake] boobs, and I want boobs like that."

Snooki beau Jionni LaValle also announced their plans to get married last May.

The newest issue of US Weekly will be out on Friday.
