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.

to Tony Loscalzo:

The principles used by Weight Watchers are scientific. For example: 1 kilocalorie ( a unit of heat) can be burned by kinetic movement (e.g. exercise). One pound equals 3,500 kilocalories, so increasing your "movement" and creating a "caloric deficit", you begin to lose weight. The caloric deficit is created when the portions are regulated and your meals are consumed every 2-3 hours (6 small meals as opposed to 3 large meals).The more greater your caloric deficit,the more "pounds" you lose. BUT YOU MUST EXERCISE TOO!

You don't know that, it's perfectly possible that with her body shape she was a size sixteen. Just like it's possible for girls who are five feet tall and 90 pounds to be a size eight.

I have been on Weight Watchers since June 21st and have lost 15 pounds. I love it. I don't consider it a diet but the right way of eating. You do not have to give anything just eat in moderation.

By ProfessorEnglish

Well, Suzy, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out. Be blessed!
