Now, on this side, they treat you differently, the opportunities are different, my image is different, even though some people do say: "I like the fat Jennifer better".'
She now weighs around 170lbs and is a US size 2 (UK size 6).It was the 2007 Oscars and the former American Idol contestant was nominated for an Academy Award, which she eventually won. It was a complete shock,' she says. Where I come from, Chicago, I was a normal-size girl. She was talking to me about being a bigger girl and I was like: 'I am?

She says: 'I didn't ever say: "I hate my body". I really liked myself and that's why my mind has still not caught up to my new body. But this is the new me, I now think of myself as a supermodel… I have passed over from one side to the other. I am somewhere I never thought I would be. I look at myself in the mirror and I say: 'Is that you?'Despite sticking to the plan religiously Hudson says that after she lost the first 40lbs [2st 12lbs] her weight hovered at 190lbs [13st 8lbs].

'Find the one part of your body that you love and accentuate it. For example, because I have a small waist, a big butt and thin legs, belts work for me. You have to know what looks best on your body.

"Any time I find time — or I'm not sleeping — he's like, 'Let's work out, let's do something.' I'm like, 'no,' but he gets my butt up and I've got to do it," Jordin says. "It's fun to do that.
