Jennifer Hudson splits with Weight Watchers, but is feeling good. After four years with the brand, her contract has come to a close. And the split is apparently mutual. The 32-year-old Oscar-winner tweeted, “Sometimes you have to step back and let your work speak for you, and when that doesn’t work you walk away knowing you did your best…It’s been fun and a pleasure good luck to you all. @WeightWatchers.”
After the birth of her son, David, in 2009, Hudson turned to Weight Watchers to get her pre-baby body back, and then some. She has lost 80 pounds since 2010, and has transformed from a size 16 to a size 6. (At one point, she was reportedly as small as a size 0!)
While the commercials starring J-Hud seemed to play ad nauseum, there was no denying her results. Her slender, yet curvy physique is certainly a testament to the Weight Watchers program. Hudson insists that sticking to the plan is key for maintaining her figure, and continues to sing their praises. She told E! about prepping for the red carpet, “I like to make sure I’m tracking my points. That’s what I do.”
A statement from Weight Watchers said:
“Jennifer’s healthy lifestyle and successful weight loss has inspired so many—from her friends and family to our members and staff, as well as people around the world—and we know that inspiration lives on. We will continue to support Jennifer in maintaining her healthy lifestyle and wish her the very best in her personal and professional life.”
Recently, the “I Can’t Describe” singer switched up her look, trading long tresses for a sleek pixie cut. Maybe the new hairstyle was a symbol of more changes to come. She shared with People that this year has quite a bit in store for her following the split, including exciting new projects and new music. But she remains thankful to the company.
“My experience with Weight Watchers has been life changing. I am grateful for what I have learned throughout the process and will always take it with me.”
