A personal and inspirational memoir from Grammy and Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson, focused on her amazing transformation as she embraced a healthy lifestyle and lost over eighty pounds.
Soulful and sultry, Jennifer Hudson wowed the world with her powerful voice in American Idol's third season, and then took Hollywood by storm with a star turn in Dreamgirls that won her an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. But before we knew her as an American Idol standout, Jennifer was singing in her church choir in the Southside of Chicago. This uplifting memoir tells the story of Jennifer's meteoric rise from American Idol to Dreamgirls to her amazing weight loss on the megablockbuster Weight Watchers diet plan. With the Weight Watchers brand endorsing her, Jennifer gives her fans tips for embracing a healthy lifestyle in order to lose weight and reclaim their bodies. Full of stories from her American Idol days, her experience acting in Dreamgirls, and how her son inspired her to want to live healthfully, this book is a gift for her millions of fans and an inspiration for anyone struggling with weight issues.

This is an amazing book by an amazing woman. I have never heard Jennifer sing, never saw her on the big screen. I only came to know of her through weight watchers, which prompted me to preorder her book. I laughed, cried tears of joy, and laughed some more. This book is so well written you feel like you have been right there with her through ups and ups, not downs as she stays upbeat no matter what. A true lady of the lord, a family girl, a real woman.

People not on WW might find this book boring since explains the science behind weightloss but it's an inspiring success story. A must-read for someone wanting to lose weight without prepackaged food!

I am so disappointed with this book. I ordered it before it actually came out, so no customer reviews. The writing was very simplistic and at least half the book was about Weight Watchers. I skimmed through so many pages that I feel I didn't get what I paid for. I love Jennifer & have followed her career since she was on American Idol, and I would have loved to read more about her & MUCH less about WW.

I enjoyed the book but was disappointed that she didnt discuss or comment on the horriblr and tragic murder of her family. It would have been interesting to learn how she overcame that emotional journey than any other challenge.

I really liked the book at first and couldn't put it down. In the beginning she was talking about herself and her family and all the trials she went through to get to where she is now. But about half way through the book, she started talking about how she lost weight. From that point on, I felt it was a WW book. That was all she talked about. I even found myself skipping over pages because they started saying the same thing about WW over and over again. It became a huge promotion for them and I lost complete interest in the book. It was very hard to finish it.

this book was made to let people know how she lost her weight and how your apperence means in the entertianment lifestyle. i read the review on here and i notice that people said that it would of been better if she stop mentioning weight watchers. but the book was made for that purpose. it is to tell people her experince losing her weight on weight watchers. and how she made a choice on how to take control over her health. this is a good book she gives u her background and her challenges she went through.

This book is actually pretty well written and very down to earth. So what spoils it? Her constant refferal to weight watchers. Jennifers life story in this book is interesting. But the reader keeps being led back to the subject of weight watchers, which inevitably gets boring.

The book would have been a lot better if it focused more on her life and read less like a sales pitch for joining Weight Watchers.

What a great match, JHud & WW. Such a great spirit and a real person to share her life experiences and journey to great health and well being. As a Weight Watchers member for over 3 years, having lost 34# and kept it off, I know Jenny Kate is speaking the truth!
