She’s often compared to her more svelte sisters, but Khloe Kardashian didn’t shape up recently to compete, IN TOUCH WEEKLY reports.

KHLOE KARDASHIAN: I LOVE MY NEW BODY

“On the second season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, I had gained weight and it really showed on TV,” Khloe, 24, tells In Touch. “After a breakup in the middle of April, I decided to change my diet.” With a little help from her sisters, Kourtney, 29, and Kim, 27, she made the transformation. “Kim encourages me to work out and Kourtney is healthy about food. It’s empowering,” says Khloe, who has already lost 12 pounds — and has a hot new body to rival her older siblings’. “I don’t want to always be known as the funny sister. I want to be the sexy, smart and funny sister!” “I’m much taller than my sisters,” says Khloe. “They’re proportioned, but people don’t realize they’re petite.” By May 17, she had slimmed down for Casino Night at the Playboy Mansion. “I’ll never be scary-skinny,” she says. “At my biggest, I’m still happy with who I am,” says Khloe.
