Can you really get a body like Mary Murphy by eating pizza, bread sticks, and chocolate mouse? Murphy of TV's So You Think You Can Dance says, yes.  

Murphy told INSIDE EDITION, "I've been on the diet 22 days and I've lost 16 pounds!"

Murphy, who is a paid spokesman for the diet company, says she is glad she's finally shedding the pounds.

"There's nothing sexier to me as a woman then when I feel like I'm sexy, and slim and dancing," said Murphy.
