Cee Lo Green lost 27 pounds for Las Vegas residency

Singer Cee Lo Green showed off a slimmer frame when he kicked off his Las Vegas residency on Wednesday (27Feb13) after shedding 27 pounds (12.2 kilograms) for the shows.

The Forget You hitmaker is famed for his bulky frame, but he signed up as an ambassador for eDiets.com late last year (12) in an effort to lose weight ahead of his Loberace concert series in Sin City.

Green used the company's meal delivery service to shed the pounds, and he showed off the results as he took to the stage for his Las Vegas debut on Wednesday (27Feb13).

In a post on his Twitter.com page, he writes, "I'm down 27 pounds just in time for Loberace to kick into full motion!! Thanks eDiets."
