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.

If you had someone to cook for you all the time and you didn't have to think about it, you too could lose the weight. Those of us who have to work, plan meals for our families, care for the kids, etc, not having "our people" do all these things for us. She does look good, but I would really be amazed if WW used just a normal everyday spokes person versus someone famous. Let's get REAL here folks!!!!!!

I've been on weight watchers since May 1st and I am struggling with 10 lbs. I just don't believe that she has lost that much weight only on the weight watchers program. She must have a personal trainer, etc.

I have been on WW since June 21st lost 15 pounds. I don't have a personal training I track everything I eat. Only eat my points and save my extra points for the weekend. I walk around 5 days a week.

Good for you Jennifer!

She looks beautiful. Hope she lives a long and healthy life.

You can't take away a black women's weave, it's like taking a pacifier away from a baby.

By ladydi9251

white folks have weaves too. and if they don't go to salon their hair is long, limp and stringy. and why are they alway advertising for 'fuller lips'. what's up with that. i don't wear wigs or weaves and have long hair as most of my family. and we don't have to set out in sun or get spray painted to get color. we love our golden browns, ebonies and tan skin. and our 'kinky hair that can be left kinked, straightened, braided or curled. and we love our curves, unlike that flat pancake arses that you can't tell the men from the women. so don't even start chit. we love ourselves just as you love yourselves. so there.

So now she too is a culturally acceptable anorexic.

By lovingjmj

Umm, this is to ashleigh. She lost the weight for her health. A lot of people do it. What she means is she'd love herself whether she was big or little, but I'm sure she, like everyone else, wants to be healthy for their children. You gotta do what you gotta do!

Can Jennifer help her sister lose some weight?
