(Mandisa Singing “True Beauty” on American Idol Extra)

         Former ninth-place American Idol finalist Mandisa from Season 5 has apparently dropped 65lbs, crediting her weight loss to faith, exercise and eating well… good for her! losing weight isn’t easy!…

I am NOT dieting! I have simply changed the way I eat.. for good! I have a personal trainer and workout about 5 days a week. I have had to change the way I think about food and change the way I handle temptation,” she wrote. “For me, that has meant A LOT of prayer and meditating on God’s word. That is the only way I have been able to resist the temptation to give in to every desire that I have. You’d be surprised by how much the Bible has to say about food and temptation. It has been a lifeline for me. That is why I can say from my heart that. Now God is teaching me that I need to turn to Him to find comfort.”

Mandisa’s first Christian album “True Beauty” was recently nominated for a 2008 Grammy under the category of “Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album”. Her sophomore album “Reality” drops on March 24th, 2009…
