July 25, 2007 — Kellie Pickler says reading news articles that said she was fat hurt her feelings and gave her the motivation she needed to start eating right and working out again.

Kellie tells People magazine that she "got really lazy" during the "American Idol" tour and gained weight from constantly nibbling at goodies on the catering table. Now she has removed temptation by keeping her dressing room stocked with fruit and vegetable platters. She has also started working out again and gets exercise while on the road by running, playing football with members of her band and doing crunches on her tour bus.

Kellie says she noticed a difference in how she felt right away and is happy to report that she's lost about 20 pounds.
