   Mariah Carey hits the beach, shows off slimmer body after giving birth to twins in April

Singer Mariah Carey gave birth to twins back in April but, judging by the photos he recently posted on Twitter, she’s already en route to dropping the pregnancy weight and getting back in top shape.

With the star yet to make an “official” public appearance since giving birth, fans have only seen Mariah on a couple of occasions in recent months, as we also noted in several previous articles.

Mariah hit the beach just recently for some fun in the sun and a good workout, and she posted a photo of herself in a one-piece swimsuit on Twitter, thus showcasing her slimmed-down figure.

Of course, since nothing comes easy with Mariah, she teased fans about it a bit beforehand.

“‘I adore ya!!’ (sung like Honey) #Lambfam about to go swim.. pics coming soon,” she tweeted with a photo of a love heart drawn in the sand, with the word “Lambily!” inside.

For those not in the know, this is the term she uses to refer to her fans, who are the “Lambs.” Consequently, “Lambily” is the “lambs family,” the singer’s “extended family.”

Hours later, she came back with the photo she promised: a shot of her waist-deep in the water, with her arms outstretched as if she’s sending out hugs.

“Ocean work out! It’s been a loooong time since I’ve been in the ocean(said like ‘OPEN’in cruise control),” Mariah tweets with the photo.

With her face almost entirely covered – she’s wearing oversized sunglasses and a cap – the attention is diverted almost immediately to her body.

Not much of it is seen, but it’s pretty clear that Mariah is already hard at work to drop the weight she gained while pregnant with the twins, as TooFab also points out.

She may not be back to her slim self yet, but she’s definitely getting there – and there’s really no reason to rush things because she must do it in a healthy way, first and foremost.
