Deena Nicole Cortese is a "Baywatch" babe!
The "Jersey Shore" star shows off her weight loss in the latest issue of In Touch, where she sports one of the infamous, high-cut red bathing suits Pam Anderson wore on the beachy soap.
"I loved 'Baywatch' when I was younger. I always wished I was her," she tells the magazine.
The 25-year-old says she's dropped 15 pounds and has gone from a size 8 to a size 4.
"My weight was getting out of control and I knew it was time to do something about it," she says of watching herself on Seasons 3-5 of the MTV reality show.
"If you're a little heavy, online bullies will treat you like crap," she adds. "It's sad. And it really hurts."
But Cortese says she's in a much better place now -- saying “I'm happy with myself, and that's the only thing that really matters.”
See how Deena has changed since she started on the show in the gallery above!
