Kim Kardashian can’t stop talking about her waist line. In a new interview with E!, she announced that she now weighs 116 Lbs., a few weeks after sharing with her followers that she was at 119.

So, I love it.” Even though she's been working on her flat tummy, she still was spotted in Miami this week with visible Spanx. Awkward!
