Fitting into her pre-pregnancy jeans just isn't good enough for Mariah Carey. The mom of twins has her eyes on a bigger goal...

The Scoop

Mariah Carey, the singing superstar and mom to twins Moroccan and Monroe, seems to have her sights set on fitting into the same pair of jeans she wore at age 20. And so far, says husband Nick Canon, her shape-up plans appear to working.

"At two months she was walking around in a bathing suit. Every day she's just killing it. I personally think she's going to come out looking better—looking like it's 1990! I think that's what she's aiming for, and I think she'll reach that goal."

What's her secret? "She does long, long hours on the treadmill," explains Cannon (via Us magazine), who adds that Carey also does low-impact cardio in the swimming pool.

And don't forget that new mom diet! "Obviously ... eating properly [is also part of her plan]," he adds.

Looking Good

We've noticed that Carey is posting more and more photos of herself lately on her Twitter account. And mama is looking good! Especially considering the fact that pregnancy was no walk in the park for the diva. "My body went through so much—you have to keep those twins in as long as possible, but it's a sacrifice you make for them," she says shortly after giving birth (via the Daily Mail).

But now that she's bouncing back, is her husband joining her for workouts? "She's too serious!" says funnyman Canon. "She works out in the water. I don't like the water. I can't swim that well."
