Jennifer Hudson: I Lost Another 20 Pounds!

By PopEater Staff Posted Sep 16th 2010 08:20PM

The weight is just falling off Academy Award-winning actress Jennifer Hudson. Earlier this year, the former ' American Idol' contestant revealed a new svelte figure on the cover of PEOPLE. And on Thursday, Hudson confessed she's lost an additional 20 pounds since then!

Hudson, who's currently a Weight Watchers spokesperson, admitted she's just as surprised by the additional weight loss as everyone else. "I didn't expect to go as far as I did!" she told PEOPLE at an event in New York City on Thursday. "People are like, 'Okay Jennifer don't lose anything else!'"

The actress, who will go on tour in early 2011 to promote her upcoming second album, isn't quite used to her new body. The former size-16 star reveals she's constantly taken aback when she's shopping.

"I go into the store and they try to put me in 4s and 6s and I'm like, 'Who are you trying to talk to?'" said the actress. "My mind hasn't caught up yet."

And though she seems to be enjoying her new smaller size, she's quick to point out that she'll be happy no matter how small--or big--she is. "I've always been a person who's comfortable with myself whether it's plus-size, small size it doesn't matter," said Hudson.

I don't understand the last paragraph -- if she doesn't care what size she is and is happy at any weight, then why has she lost all this weight and is now a spokesperson for weight-watchers? Sounds like she cares a great deal, to me, and was NOT happy at her large size...

To be honest when I read the headline, I thought she would be Star Jones skinny. I was scared for her. She appears to be at a healthy weight. As long as she's healthy and happy, then that's great.

Shamika or whatever that name is. The ONLY good looking black women that don't smell bad or have greasy wire hair are at least half white! Example: Haley Berry

Her weight loss makes her look so much younger. She looks like a girl rather than a grown woman. Congratulations for your hard work, I know it isn't easy.

Jennifer, you look amazing, and you have an adorable baby.

By Dorothy

Jennifer, you look great and I love you work. I realy loved you in Sex in the City. I watched it again the other day on cable. You were wonderful in it.

By BH

Jennifer looks great and is probably much healthier, too!

God Bless her. :)

Hey Jennifer Hudson is a pretty-looking as any woman on the planet.
I don't see much evidence of a culture of self-denial in her; but I don't know her.She seems naturally destined to weigh 220 lbs and still look good; so the question arises: How's she getting so slim?

By SweetyPy

She's following the Weight Watchers program!

By Rebecca

This is probably going to be a big shock to you, but i'd guess it's probably eating healthier and exercising! Don't tell anyone, though, everybody thinks is some big secret or something.

tony, how can a 220 lb woman look good???????????? u must be on drugs, anyway she looks great finally.

By magyymae1

Did you not pay any attention to the article? She has been on Weightwatchers!!!! I also used that to lose 37 pounds when I had to take a medication that caused me to gain weight. It is not fast, but it works!

By Anna

@Tony do you see that disgusting food they have to eat? you'd lose and additional twenty pounds too if thats all you had to eat. I had one dinner ate two bites and threw the rest away.

What? In Weight Watchers you choose the foods you eat-you must be a REALLY bad cook!

By Adele

Weight Watchers doesn't sell pre-packaged foods. It's a points and support system plan. You cook your own food, can eat at restaurants etc. I think you're confusing WW with a few other programs.

By kaysings

Isn't it Jenny Craig that sells pre-packaged food? Maybe you're confusing WW with JC.
