MAG COVER: JENNIFER HUDSON TALKS SON & WEIGHTLOSS IN ‘GOOD HOUSEKEEPING’

January 5th, 2012

Singer Jennifer Hudson is definitely making her rounds on these magazine covers. Ms. Hudson posed it up on the February 2012 issue of Good Housekeeping. Inside she talked about her new book, I Got This: How I Changed My Ways and Lost What Weighed Me Down and shared how her cute 2-year-old son, David Jr. doesn’t recognize his mother in her previous pictures or movie scenes:

———

ON HER SON NOT RECOGNIZING HER:
He’s never known me overweight. If he sees a clip of the old Jennifer from Dreamgirls, he doesn’t know who it is.

ON HOW MOTHERHOOD INSPIRED WEIGHT LOSS:
Everything changed the day my son was born. Motherhood brought tremendous responsibilities – none greater than the obligation I felt to get healthy and be there for my son. [...] David deserved to have a mama who could run after him without getting wounded or tired, to have a role model who could teach him to make healthy food choices. ‘I needed him to grow up with a mama who always would be there for him by caring enough about herself to take control of her health and her eating.’

Hudson’s weight loss success has rubbed off on the rest of her family, too: “Over 75 of them are on Weight Watchers, and they’ve lost over 2,000 pounds altogether. My cousin beat me – she’s lost 112 pounds!”

Be sure to check out a mini-preview to her upcoming interview with NBC’s Dateline’s Lester Holt, which is set to air on Sunday, January 8 at 10/9pm CST.

      Out of all the lies and the hating. Jennifer Hudson is still a very gorgeous good looking lady. It won’t change who she is and what she have accomplished. Jhud is a superstar who is very humbled and grounded. She has a warm spirit and a very kind heart. That is why she will always be at the top of the game period. All that other crap the haters are speaking is bull!!!

    Although I don’t buy the “I lost 80 pounds using Weight Watchers…” line, I am happy for and inspired by Jennifer’s body transformation.

    She needs to be real with herself because she damnn sure had weightloss surgery just like every other person in the world with those dreadful frown marks around their mouths, those companies seek out celebs who have undergone surgery to market their product to the average person…selling a dream sure enough u may lose some weight but I’m sure she didn’t lose it that way just as Raven stated she loss hers because she stopped stressing….RIGHT!

    Pure ignorance…*rolling eyes* Weight Watchers actually works. Not everyone has to have surgery. Plus for those who do, you can see how sickly they look after like Star Jones and TI’s DJ. Weight Watchers is the best program for losing weight.

    I’m happy for her and she looks great!
    She’s a tremendous singer, which is why her frequently played commercials don’t get to me. You go Jen Coco ;)

    I dont believe she had any type of weight loss surgery. I have several family members who had a gastric bypass and lost a tremendous amount a weight in just a few months…although shedding the pounds is great, the down side to losing that amount of weight so fast makes them look much older, floppy, and evenly sickly. I dont get any of that from her. I think she looks great, she does have slight smile lines around her mouth, but anyone who has lost weight before knows that the first you lose weight is in your face. She should simply get some filler and be done with it…oh, and she could probably use a breast lift too…other than that…amazing!

    Im happy for you Jennifer but don’t loose anymore weight because it won’t fit you and the size you are now is good, don’t loose another 80 or you will look like a bobble head!

    I’m so proud of her! She looked great before, and she still looks fantastic. I’m happy she is making healthier choices for the sake of her son. People kill me with all the surgery talk. You’d be surprised what you can do when you’re determined and when you set goals. I hate to sound like a spammer, but an old coworker of mine lost 50 pounds in 3 months. She completely changed her diet and started exercising twice a day. That was it. It’s not impossible.

      You are absolutely right. Jennifer wasn’t even large enough to qualify for weight loss surgery! Eating right and exercising actually works. people can be so ignorant, that it’s scary.LOL.
