Cop a gander at Glee star Amber Riley!

The actress and vocal powerhouse, 26, has been rocking a noticeably slimmer frame as of late – one she tells PEOPLE is down to cutting out the fast food and burgers which she says “were attacking my stomach.”

Seven months of sticking to a new diet and exercise plan have seen the budding diva hit a weight loss milestone: “I dropped two dress sizes!” she tells the publication.

A cheque her recent appearance at the NAACP Awards 2012 can certainly cash (as seen above).

Speaking on her new physique, Riley – who plays Mercedes Jones on the Fox show, said  “I’m a lot more comfortable in dresses, especially gowns”.

Although, her healthier shape has caused drama in the costume department. “We had to revamp the wardrobe,” she says. “They bought a lot of new clothes for me and we have to take in a lot of my pants and dresses.”

Despite the loss of pounds, Riley asserts “I’ve always been comfortable with my size. I just decided it was time to get healthy.” And wear healthy well she does.
