Cheryl Burke has opened up in the past about her body issues, but the "Dancing With The Stars" professional claims her season 13 partner Rob Kardashian is coming to terms with his after losing "a lot of weight."

"He's lost a lot of weight. His whole physical appearance has changed. He's using different muscles. He's super sore all the time," Burke wrote in People magazine, where she moonlights as a blogger. "I'm not sure if he's changing his diet, but the cardio is really good. I think he lost most of the weight just rehearsing from the jive because it's so fast-paced."
