We’re used to hearing about weight loss on Dancing With the Stars, but Maria Menounos said she actually gained 6 lbs. in her nine weeks on DWTS Season 14.

“It has definitely leaned me out and made me super-muscular,” Maria told OK! Magazine. “I actually got on the scale because I get so curious now — I never really weighed myself — but I gained about six pounds since I’ve started, and it’s all muscle. I’m super lean, and super tight. Dancing’s an overall body workout, so it’s pretty cool.”

In other Season 14 weight news, Melissa Gilbert, who was eliminated the week before Maria, said she whittled her body down from a size 6 to a size 2. Pro Kym Johnson said her partner Jaleel White lost 13 pounds. And Gladys Knight said she left DWTS having lost 60 pounds (although that does seem like a lot; maybe she said 16 and whoever she told heard 60?).

Maria told OK! she lost 40 lbs. back in college, so she’s no stranger to the ups and downs of weight. She feels great and doesn’t really care what size she is. “I’ve dropped two sizes in pants, and that makes me nervous because I don’t want to get too thin, I don’t want to lose my curves. I certainly don’t want to lose my butt.”

She also doesn’t want to lose her partner, Derek Hough, and it sounds like she’s going to pull a Brooke Burke-Charvet and get jealous of everyone he dances with after her.

“I told Derek I will be stalking him for the rest of his life, and I will be asking him to dance all the time,” she says. “I want to get my parents to take classes so they can experience it as well, but if Derek continues to do DWTS, his next partner had better watch out, because I’m crashing rehearsals, removing her, and I’m going to go back to it with him.”

Maybe she should just sign up to be his partner on the All-Stars season. What do you think? Team Menough 2.0: There’s *Never* Enough Menough!

Watch the next new episode of DWTS on tonight, May 21 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
