Snooki strikes back at critics of her weight loss: ‘I don’t look emaciated; I look healthy!’

Snooki is fighting back against critics of her weight loss.

Once 146 pounds during her days on MTV’s “Jersey Shore,” the reality TV star is now a slimmed-down 96 pounds. But she feels like she’s the healthiest she’s ever been, not skinny or sick.

She credits her fit physique to intense workouts at the gym alongside a personal trainer. Still, she finds things she can improve upon.

“My arms still jiggle when I wave!” she added. “I’m 4-foot-9, which is the size of a third-grader, so weighing 96 pounds is normal for me.”

Feeling good about herself, the mother of one son, Lorenzo LaValle, with boyfriend Jionni LaValle previously posted an Instagram photo showing off her bicep muscles after she was slammed for being too skinny.
