Beyoncé's self-titled "visual album" dropped in December on iTunes. The latest effort from Queen Bey came out of left field. Their was many a tweet to be read about any potential new material, let alone an 18 video, 32 total song mega album. And even with over $10 million in first week sales, the most surprising thing about Beyoncé is the singer's curvaceous return to form. Beyoncé's fiercely loyal fans think Beyoncé is a goddess. But certainly even they couldn't imagine the post-pregnancy Diva looking the best she ever has.

What about Beyoncé is different? Maybe it's her motherly glow or a newfound passion towards performing? Well, it's probably a combination of those two things plus the fact that the 5 ft. 5 in. Beyoncé has lost 65 pounds in a little less than two years! In fact a desire to perform and show her body was the impetus behind her drastic weight loss, according to the Belfast Telegraph.

If there's one thing Beyoncé can't do, it's being shy. She has an amazing amount of confidence. Over the course of the 18 videos she wears an assortment of garters, lingerie and skintight body suits. Clearly her curves are still among the most dangerous in the entertainment industry. Frankly, Beyoncé knows she looks hotter than ever and that inspired her to strip down and show the people what they've been missing.

"I was very aware of the fact that I was showing my body. I was 195 pounds when I gave birth, I lost 65 pounds, I worked crazily to get my body back. I wanted to show my body," she explained.

"I wanted to show that you can have a child and you can work hard and you can get your body back. I know finding my sensuality, getting back into my body, being proud of growing up, it was important to me that I expressed that in my music because there are so many women that feel the same thing after they give birth."

What's even better than losing 65 pounds, being a mother, and becoming even richer due to a hit album? Losing more weight (15 pounds to be exact) than fellow celebrity mom Kim Kardashian, that's what! This may be surprising to you considering that the 5 ft. 3 in. Kim K looks absolutely gorgeous in recent pictures after the birth of baby North West. Case in point? Her belfie, or bottom selfie, instagram picture that lit up the web.
