Reality star/model/actress Jennifer Gimenez, best known for appearances in Sober House and Celebrity Rehab, is proudly showing off her hot bikini body after she dropped more than 100lbs in a photo shoot for Star (more pictures below).

Jennifer was once a video and movie vixen who has been struggling with image and weight issues for a long time. The former model finally reached a breaking point as a 257-pound recovering addict, and decided to turn her life around with a healthy diet and lifestyle.

“It’s mind-blowing!” Jennifer explained about being back in a bikini. “Knowing that I lost all this weight without having surgery, only with the help of others and an open mind, is an overwhelming and powerful reality!”

Wow. Jennifer, who is wearing super cute swimsuits by Shay Todd, went through quite a transformation, but she seems to have learned the importance of that delicate balance between a healthy body and healthy mind.
