Actress Carrie Fisher is celebrating after losing 50 pounds on diet firm Jenny Craig's weightloss plan.

The Star Wars star became the firm's celebrity spokeswoman last year, taking over from the likes of Valerie Bertinelli and Kirstie Alley - and she has become one of the company's biggest success stories.

The 54 year old tells People magazine she was determined to shed the pounds after realising she was afraid to look in the mirror, and she's thrilled with her new look - although she won't be donning a bikini to show off anytime soon.

She says, "I'm not going to wear a lot of sleeveless things. I think after 50, there's a law."
