Jennifer Hudson deserves waaay more than just our makeover of the year award: The Grammy and Oscar winner not only went from a 16 to a svelte size 6, she also had a baby, planned a wedding and cut a new album! So how is she commemorating all of this change? In addition to a self-confessed shopping problem, she told us: “I’m actually thinking about shaving my head. I am! Because I feel I’ve got a good structure now [gingerly feels cheekbones]. My cousin’s a beautician, and she always tells me, ‘You could wear any hairdo.’ So I’m thinking, What if I shave my hair? Not completely off, but low. I think that would be so hot.” And while reaching her goal weight hasn’t been a piece of cake, she’s confident that she got it just right. “I don’t want to lose any more weight, and you’re never going to see me skinny. I think this is a good, natural size for me. David [Hudson's fiancé] doesn’t like change. He tells me I have no breasts anymore. He tries to feed me.” Want more scoop on Hudson’s incredible makeover? Check out the new issue of InStyle Makeover, on newsstands this Friday.

I strongly recommend ______ H o t B l a c k w h i t e * C 0 m ______ to you where I just found my interracial boyfriend! You know it is a great place to meet black men and beautiful women. What’s kind of relationship do you want? ;)

-elaine on August 3rd, 2010

Wow, Jennifer Hudson looks so good, luv the new Body.

-MJW on August 3rd, 2010

She is NOT a size 6. Maybe in a dress. The photoshopping is deplorable.

-Beth on August 3rd, 2010

Jennifer, you are beautiful! But in my opinion you were beautiful before-inside and out, and I have been praying for you for a long time. God bless.

-Dorothy Liles on August 3rd, 2010

Jennifer looks great and Beth is a hater….

-Not a hater on August 3rd, 2010

It’s sad that you made her a covergirl now that she is slim.

-Elisabeth on August 3rd, 2010

Jennifer Hudson was on the cover of American VOGUE before she lost the weight! and no one who above a size 0 ever makes the cover of that Magazine. She looks fabulous and is a great role model because she did smart and has a healthy outlook.

-asianb on August 3rd, 2010

SHE LOOKED BETTER WHEN SHE HAD A FULLER FIGURE….NOW SHE LOOKS LIKE EVERYONE ELES…..BE URSELF …JENNIFER HUDSON.

-BRENDA on August 3rd, 2010

beth is a hater she looks great

-kalyn on August 3rd, 2010

Jennifer,
You look GREAT! More importantly, you’ll reap the benefits of better health. What a great role model for your son.

-Kim on August 3rd, 2010

Girl, you look Great….Congrats to you.

-Yoly on August 4th, 2010

This is my opinion……. Celebs just lose weight just to see what they would like and to see if they can do it. Then a few months later(like Oprah) be crying on national tv about the woulda, coulda and should haves. It’s so sad to go through this transformation and blow right back up. I heard that she lost the weight because she hated how she looked standing next to her fiance’. He looks gay anyway……. oops I’m just sayin’………. I hope she did it for the right reasons…… not to get back at Simon…….not for her friends …..family……. or her FIANCE…..I hope she did it for SELF SATISFACTION. You look great girl !!!! Keep Smilin’ :)

-Candice on August 4th, 2010

i want to buy the new issue of Instyle Makeover
i live in egypt can’t i order it by mail?

-yasmine naga on August 4th, 2010

Candice you are an idiot and so is Beth,. She’s happy, then so am I. she can do whatever she wants. It’s her body..

-Norma on August 4th, 2010

I’m disappointed that Jennifer lost so much weight. I think it’s important to get healthy, yet don’t think it was necessary to lose 10 sizes. Don’t get me wrong, she looks great. But she looked great before. It just seems to me like another case of fame going to someone’s head.

-jeannie on August 4th, 2010

Candice and Beth…..YES YOU BOTH ARE IDIOTS…..AND HATERS I must say…..Jennifer YOU LOOK FABULOUS…..:-)

-robin on August 4th, 2010

Every photo in a magazine is photoshopped. Look how small they made her bosoms in the purple dress.
It’s super easy to shoop yourself into being a skinny thing with the liquify tool. Also the heal-brush took gets rid of blemishes and wrinkles. =/

If you think about it, make-up, hair dyes, and body-shapers are just as deceiving…!

-Jennibu on August 4th, 2010

it is such a shame that Jennifer Hudson has gone through so much in her life and she has made an attempt to be heathly and happy and you have such negative people like candice,jennibu and beth. If this is photoshop and not a six , she is clearly a healthier and she is not trying to be a stick thin just healthy.
If wish your comments could be photshopped. Go somewhere else and be toxic.

-tamscal on August 4th, 2010

I think she looks good. Loosing weight is not an easy task. As long as she is doing it for “her” and she’s happy with the results, that’s all that matters, so “way to go Jennifer!!”

-christine on August 4th, 2010

ITS AMAZING HOW PEOPLE CAN JUDGE PEOPLE THAT THEY DO NOT EVEN KNOW!!! ANYWAY!! JENNIFER YOU LOOK SO HAPPY AND GORGEOUS AS ALWAYS!! CONGRATULATIONS!! I HAVE HAD WEIGHT STRUGGLES AND YOU HAVE GIVEN ME A BRAND NEW MOTIVATION TO KEEP TOWARD MY GOALS!!

-Ana on August 4th, 2010

I think she looks great! I’m willing to bet that all the folks who are ramblin’ about how “deplorable” or “sad” this is are grossly overweight and do not have the will power or even the desire to do what she’s done. As a man I applaud this woman for whatever her reason was to accomplish such a feat! Lookin’ lovely My Dear!

-O.B. on August 4th, 2010

Why is this the SAME PICTURE with two different outfits. Very questionable….. Nevermore congrats Jennifer that is a huge accomplishment if you are truly happy and healthy.

-teetee on August 4th, 2010

Jennifer you look wonderful, as long as you’re pleased with the change, that’s all that really matters, congrats girl…you look WONDERFUL!!

-Imari on August 4th, 2010

If she feels healthy and is satisfied with her new healhy lifestyle then that’s what’s important. Not whether or not she lost her “full” figure. It;s sad when people love to hate when someone else has made positive strides in life.

-TKM on August 4th, 2010

I think Jennifer looks great at any size ! I don’t dis agree w/ Beth at all , I ‘m upset that magazines photo shop anyone that they put in magazines it give a false image . This is not a blow to Jennifer and her accoplishments ,the magazine is the one giving the blow by still trying to nip tuck her to perfection. The just had an issue with Rhiana getting upset when they took her true curves away for the cover …. STOP IT ! not everyone has an issue with the way they look.

-Nel on August 4th, 2010

I’m happy for anybody that looses weight. People gonna talk about you no matter what. You go J Hud ! For all the haters – hate on. For those who loved her full figured remeber she;s the same person. If the weight was holding her back be happy she was able to overcome it. For those still struggling with weight don’t feel like she left you behind. Be motivated to loose your weight too. All things are possible through Christ Jesus !

-Coco on August 4th, 2010

Jennifer looks amazing!!! I’m proud of her success if she’s happy with herself. My comment is~I’m a full figured woman that’s working hard everyday now. Eating right and drinking plenty of water~only putting good things in. I feel great~lots of energy. But–if I had the opportunity that Jennifer has i feel that I would do much better~~For instance: Being paid to represent a weight loss company and most likely a trainer. I would love to see companies do things like this for everyday people like myself. I’d be willing to put in all that work to make them some money. Most people would enjoy seeing regular people walking around doing this. It’s more beleivable than watching cele. on television. Without the tricks of t.v. and airbrushed pictures. Just someone like me going to work, coming home and doing the family thing. I’m no hater by no means!!! I’ve just always thought about this~~~makes sense to me…

-Sharon on August 4th, 2010

You Go Jennifer, F those ‘Haters & Nay Sayers!!!! Do the Damn Thing!!! :) :)

-B Trapp on August 4th, 2010

Candice and Beth did your mama ever teach you : ” if you have nothing good to say, say nothing at all ! ” JENNIFER you look marvelous, and your an inspiration to every one and to your son. keep doing your thing honey !

-lola on August 4th, 2010

If she’s happy who cares what her reasons were? We all do something for a reason and whatever reason that was for her to feel healthier and better about herself, what difference does it make? My goodness. I wish people would stop throwing stones at other people’s glass houses, when all their windows are shattered! Do you Jen. Live life and forget the haters!

-Sheila on August 4th, 2010

It is not the same picture! The hair is different as well as the position and angle of the hand at her waist. She looks great-as long as she’s happy we should be happy and proud of her.

-Andrea on August 4th, 2010

Well I think Jennifer looks great.. I too went from a size 14 to a size 8.. I feel good. I have lots of energy.. I also lost my weight doing Weight Watchers… Congrats Jenn…

-Lizabeth on August 5th, 2010

I LOVE Jennifer Hudson… if she’s happy with her transformation, then good for her. Personally, I think she’s lost too much weight. Her face, especially, looks so different. Not friendly and welcoming like she looked before.

Reminds me of when Star Jones lost all that weight, and her face looked so strange (not that Star Jones was a hottie to begin with… but the fat loss in her face just made her look even odder).

-Jen on August 5th, 2010

Jennifer you look great. Keep it up. God bless you and your family

-Cassandra on August 5th, 2010

I lost my weight (wearing a 16 was getting tight, and I’m a 6 now) with WW. It’s completely real and doable. Also, I never exercised. So, don’t think she only did it b/c she had personal chefs and trainers. I’m a regular ol gal who did it. Size 16 is not healthy for certain bodies. My BMI had me in the obese catergory. It’s not weird or gross for her to drop that many sizes. It’s healthy, and she looks great. Some people are just so jealous they cannot be nice not matter what.

-Heather on August 5th, 2010

critiquing her weight loss undermines all of her hard work. she looks wonderful, and it’s well-deserved. weight watchers would not let her be a spokesperson if she was under her healthy weight range. i think people should be inspired and happy for her!

-Fellow Weight Watcher on August 5th, 2010

She looks amazing. It is so silly to hear people talk about whether the picture is PS or not, changing her self and turning into “just another skinny singer” bla, bla, bla! Heavy people are not healthy! i don’t care about the looks, but the fact is that being overweigh is cause of cadiovascular decease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol etc. So for all the people who said “too bad you lost so much weight, you were attractive before” YES, she was and she is still is, but that didn’t make her healthier. I’m sorry if people are offended but it is the fact. Feeling good about ourselves has nothing to do with our weight, that’s a fact, and if heavy people are offended, well too bad, heavy is not healthy!
Jennifer, you look AMAZING, healthy, and happy! CONGRATS! I

-Edith on August 5th, 2010

She always looked great , She looks heavily airbrushed in the first photo.

-Fran on August 5th, 2010

Good on you Jennifer, you look awesome. Losing is much easier than maintaining the weight so good luck with that sister ! :)

-Sara on August 5th, 2010

Honey, you look soooooo good! Blessings to you and yours

-Karen on August 6th, 2010

I agree with Beth. Jennifer is NOT a size 6. I weigh abt 134lbs and i am still not a size 6. I am a thick girl even at that weight. SERIOUS PHOTOSHOPING was done on the pictures.

PS: I AM NOT HATING…..JUST TELLING THE TRUTH….

-Amani on August 7th, 2010

SHE LOOK GREAT !!!! I THINK THAT IS MORE ABOUT HEALTH THAT FASHION !!!. GREAT FOR HER.

-Mulata on August 8th, 2010

You go girl, Wow you look great very proud of you keep up the good work.
Chicago!!!!

-Tonya on August 9th, 2010

Why do women hate women so much? I look at Jennifer and can’t be happier for her. She made a decision to change her lifestyle and I hope that she continues to succeed. I can only speak for myself when I say that I’m encouraged to work harder on myself because I have about 100 lbs to lose. I choose to eat healthier and exercise and it is hard, but I’m doing it for myself and not to please anybody. Good for you Jennifer and to the other women who have posted comments on their weight loss successes. I wish you all the best :o )

-Alanna on August 9th, 2010

THERE IS NOWAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY THATS JENNIFER HUDSON! O M G!!!!!

-BINA on August 10th, 2010

I think Jennifer Hudson looks amazing! She’s talented, beautiful, and everything is better than ever. Cheers, J Hud!

-Samantha on August 10th, 2010

I think her body looks great, however her face has lost that beautiful little bit of fullness that softened it (her face, that is, not her body).I almost didn’t recognize her, but I am happy for her happiness!!!

-hannah on August 10th, 2010

Great job Jennifer!!! You set a goal and stuck with it. You are a healthier person for it. Your heart, lungs and knees thank you for relieving them of the unnecessary burden(FAT). You have put certain diseases associated with too much FAT in the body at bay. Face it ladies, no more sugar coating it. If you are carrying around too much extra FAT, you can be as pretty as you please, but, you are not at your optimum health and the pharmaceutical companies are going to eventually make a killing off of you. Keep It Movin and become a healthier you like Jennifer did!!!!!

-Edwina on August 11th, 2010

she looks amazing…this woman is remarkable and has been through alot. She probably wanted to loose the weight – so she did…after having a baby etc, I definitely understand wanting to have it ALL. I’m happy for her…always wondered why folks have so much to say about weight loss etc. at the end of the day it’s her body and up to her. Oh and the photoshop is RIDICULOUS!!!

-yusufswife on August 11th, 2010

I am not a hater but Jen does not look natural, her face looks like she aged. I am all for getting healthier, but being a size 6 does not make you heathy, it just fits you in the mold. If people would work on being healthier inside and getting fit and making their minds healthier instead of worrying about appearance this world would be a better place. Now if this size make Jen happier in his life, marriage etc, then kudos (wish I could look like that). I don’t want to hear people whining when she gain some back.
Unfortunately Jen’s statement was “I have never been this SIZE in my whole life” not “I have never felt so HEALTHY” so all of you screaming at everyone disagreeing with your “Oh Jen you look great”‘s, check the reality, people don’t think people look great until they look like this. I wish Jen the best, stay healthy which may not be a size 6, just stay healthy in mind,body and soul.
BTW…being a graphic artist I will have to say on behalf of those you deemed haters…she IS photoshop’d on the cover. Even Oprah tells how they airbrush and touch up her photos on O magazine.
Sorry for writing a book.

-Name (required) on August 14th, 2010

Photoshopped or not, size six or not, she looks GREAT!!! She is a healthier size and that’s the MOSt important….GOSH!!!

-Tanya D on August 16th, 2010

Jennifer Hudson I love you <3. You look wonderful in that dress. Keep doing what you doing girl. :-)

-Candace on August 16th, 2010

Hey Jennifer, you look good but please don’t lose anymore.

-Yvonne on August 16th, 2010

Well she looks about a size 6 to me I was a size six at 140lbs. and im 5’6. Soo i say nay to all u haters for the doubt. Photoshop or not looks believable to me. Jennifer looks Gorgeous and I am a true fan of this blessed and beautiful woman!!!

-KiKi_G on August 17th, 2010

She looks real good. I am going to have to try out her workout regime and follow her diet.

-Fee Fee on August 20th, 2010

I enjoy In Style Magazine! Appreciate all the articles and recommendations. However, I feel you are missing a large market….mainly the 60 age group. I notice that all your In Style suggestions stop at age 50. I am 63, and obviously a Baby Boomer. We are not dead, style wise. Is More Magazine and Ladies Home Journal our only options?

Please consider my age group when you discuss Style! You are missing the mark with your older consumers.

How does one find the articles inside the magazine? I wanted to read about the Best Skin Tips Ever…which is written about non-celebrities and was very informative. But I am unable to find the article online anywhere, Is it possible that the article isn’t online?

-Charlene on June 13th, 2011

Very well crafted post, and i as well at present grasped of which several categories tend to be more prepared when compared with other folks (considering that everybody is special) might share the identical concept. I think you will keep this blog working well.

-sex at schoo` on August 16th, 2011

Well made posting, and i also in addition at present grasped in which several groupings tend to be willing when compared with other people (considering that everybody is one of a kind) would share exactly the same concept. I think you’ll keep this blog working well.
