Jennifer Hudson wowed on the red carpet at Cannes this weekend thanks to her newfound confidence and super-svelte figure. “I love taking pics, but I love it even more now!” the actress and singer, who has been the official spokesperson for Weight Watchers since April, wrote on her blog. “It is fun to see the changes in my face. I have cheekbones and definition along my jaw line that I have never seen.” The new mom (son David Jr. is only 8 months old) has been following the Weight Watchers Momentum plan since January and began a circuit-training routine with celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak last August to get in shape for her upcoming role in a biopic of Winnie Mandela. Her motto along the journey has been “Start small, finish big,” and the actress has made enough small changes in her lifestyle to add up to one hot mama! One of her secrets is hot sauce, which she puts “on anything from eggs in the morning to collard greens and even sweet potato fries.” Another tip: “If you want to stay away from eating a cheeseburger, put on a tight-fitting gown and get all made up!” At Cannes, Hudson showed off her hard work in sophisticated, waist-defining dresses that showed off her toned legs and arms.

See a week’s worth of Jennifer Hudson’s favorite meals on Weight Watchers.

Her legs aren’t so great.

-janet on May 17th, 2010

Wow “her legs aren’t so great” ?? So you looked at her and what thought hmmm what can I still say that’s negative?
It’s negative nit picking like that – that gives women body issues…..

-Karen on May 17th, 2010

How dare she not be PERFECT!

Good grief, why can’t her successes be enough?

-Ellen on May 17th, 2010

To Janet above: that’s rediculous. First thought that popped into my head when seeing her was that she had nice legs. She lost alot of weight but it’s ppl like you who tell girls n women who are trying to be healthier that they look horrible. I’m sure ur the ugliest person ever just by that comment.

-Dans on May 17th, 2010

QUIT HATING! JEALOUSY DOESNT BECOME YOU!

-jellybean123 on May 17th, 2010

Jennifer Hudson is a beautiful African-American woman whom im sure has struggled a great deal of her life with a weight problem. Now it is her time to shine!

SHINE JENNIFER SHINE!!!!!! YOUR’E BEAUTIFUL!

-jellybean123 on May 17th, 2010

I don’t have great legs either, they look allpt like JHud’s and therefore, i would NEVER EVER be caught dead showing them…..I have great hair skinny arms and waist and pretty eyes, so I accentuate those and hide my fugly legs. JHud is gorgeous, all she needed was to hide those knees. 4 inches more material would have done the job….noone needs to see your worst feature….doesnt mean u r mean or crazy

-Katie on May 17th, 2010

OMG!!! Jennifer Hudson is beautiful. Who care about her legs when you she has such a beautiful face and wonderful voice. Can’t believe the first thought from anyone would be negative, must not be very happy with themselves.

-sharlene on May 17th, 2010

She should never wear thigh legs jean she is knock knee.

-shirley on May 17th, 2010

I give a dam about the HATERS and so does Jen. She is a very gorgeous young multi-talented super star, and I love her new look. Nobody on earth is made to be perfect. Opinions are just like rear ends we all have one, and your carries no weight. My girl Jhud is way to busy accomplishing her dreams and goals to hear you, but I have her back. HATERS are always going to HATE no matter what.

-norma on May 17th, 2010

She is a darling girl and I think she looks great.

-Jada Reiber on May 17th, 2010

Jennifer looks FABULOUS! She has lost a lot of weight and should be commended for all her hard work. These people with the negative comments must really be inferior!

-suzy diamond on May 18th, 2010

@ Dans – Please learn to spell before posting remarks aimed at other commenters. Or, learn to recognize the red underlining your mistakes… just some friendly advice.

@ Norma – Please read over your post BEFORE posting. I think you mean to write “I DO NOT give a dam about haters and NEITHER does Jen.”

Jennifer DOES look “good” compared to her figure before she began her exercise regime (and perhaps her healthier meal plan). However, it is still true she has more weight to lose, so no, she does not look perfect. From a health (and beauty) standpoint she should work on getting smaller.

-Jona on May 18th, 2010

Jennifer Hudson looks so much more her actual age with less weight! Good for her.

-Miami Olivia on May 18th, 2010

Who said she was finished with her diet? How about congratulating her for what she accomplished so far? Is it too hard for certain women to be appreciative of others instead of being jealous?
People who has nothing else to do than nitpicki and say she needs to lose more weight are probably the ones with body issues

-Lisa on May 18th, 2010

Could you post who designed the dresses she is wearing, especially the second one (the black tiered dress). Thanks!

-booboo on May 18th, 2010

I agree, her legs aren’t ;egs for short dresses

-Diane on May 18th, 2010

I bet you look a mess Janet, her legs!! Only someone who is overweight would say something like that!! You go Jennifer!

-Shawn on May 19th, 2010

i agree, janet must have horrible legs. she must have her own body issues, when people comments on others negatively (they are basically referring to themselves)

-kim on May 19th, 2010

Jennifer looks amazing, pretty sure she has better legs and a better body than anyone who have anything negative to say. she needs to lose more weight?? huh that’s one of the dumbest comments I have EVER read. Just because you like being a stick doesn’t mean everyone else wants to be.

-Toya on May 20th, 2010

@Jona criticizing others’ spelling and thoughts while spelling your own words correctly and having uber perfect grammar only makes you sound more pretentious. the fact that jennifer was able to lose so much weight in a healthy manner is something that all young women should look at. they should use her as a role model. smaller does NOT equal healthier. it is absolutely unnecessary to judge what someone else’s perfect SIZE should be. they say even losing 5% of your body fat makes you 10 times as healthier, and she has obviously gone well beyond that. as a woman who has a full body, curves, and a healthier image jennifer should not have to endure any pressure for being THIN. thin is not always attractive or healthy. appreciate her for her effort and life not her “imperfect look”

-Beatrize on May 21st, 2010

oh and i forgot to write. i think jennifer looks INCREDIBLE!!! especially the last picture, she pretty much looks flawless. gorgeous :)

-Beatrize on May 21st, 2010

@janet, lets see what your legs look like ! and @jona WTH, she doesnt need to lose anymore weight ! she is just fine how she is ! So if you haters are gonna put neggative comments then you dont need to comment at all ! I dont play about jhud, i will curse somebody out over her ! i ♥ you jenn, you look beautiful, !

-Eboni on July 30th, 2010

Ohh, and she was already judged on being to thick, now she’s getting to skinny, gosh, she just cant win..but either way i love her to death and no haters nor how she looks will ever change that !

-Eboni on July 30th, 2010
