Jennifer Hudson Claims She Weighs 140, Her Scale Must Be Broken
Jennifer 170 - hell no Jennifer 140 - um, no
I am not trying to harsh Jennifer Hudson’s mellow or anything, but she doesn’t weigh 140lbs. I am guessing she weighs about 160 pounds, if she’s lucky. According to the April 2 issue of In Touch, J-Hud claims that she’s lost 30 pounds since her time on American Idol in 2004, by working out and eating smaller portions and healthier food. That’s awesome, but the numbers she gives: I call total BS. She looks like she weighed closer to 200 during her time on American Idol. Sure the camera adds 10 pounds, but seriously, I have a scale too and I know what weight looks like what.
Obviously Jennifer’s lost a lot of weight, there is NO doubt, and she looks great, but she needs to start being honest.
If she’s going to make statements like, “There’s something wrong when you’re just skin and bones,” then she should be forthcoming about how her figure reflects her weight. In a world where women are obsessed with their weight and see images of celebrities and try to emulate them, how can we possibly attain any level of equilibrium within ourselves when celebrities lie about their weights.
Jennifer is 5′9″. For her to be that tall and be that curvy still, there is NO way she weighs 140. Look at Tyra Banks, she claims she weighs 161 and she looks a damn site better in a bikini than Jennifer Hudson would. Again, not trying to hate on J-Hud, just trying to be real.
Show me the scale with her on it, and I will eat my words with a double helping of whipped cream. mmmm…whipped cream.

Ah, I used to weigh 140 (I’m 5′2″) and I looked pretty damn good. Those were the days.

Are you serious? You want her to be honest about her weight? Can you honestly say you know ANY woman that is, has or ever was?? Why expect Jennifer to be, then?
I also think before we jump all over her, we should know the facts.
Fat tissue is approximately 20% less dense than muscle, so it takes up 20% more space. Muscle burns 19 times more calories than fat. So a pound of muscle takes less space and burns more calories then a pound of fat. Build muscle, lose fat! If she’s been working out, she could very easily still ‘look fatter’ than she is, but not be. Everybody’s body is different. Believe me on this one.

Ginger, I really think it’s unfair to lie about your weight if you are trying to represent yourself as some sort of role model for curvy women.
You are what you are. If she thinks she look good, then great, she should say, “Hey, look at me, I am hot AND I weigh 160!”
I understand everybodies body is different. But no one is going to buy that she’s 140 at 5′9″ and looking as “curvy” as she is. Her right boob probably weighs 140. 140 and 5′9? She should look like a supermodel.

HELLZ NO!!!! I am 142 lbs. and I am just pushing 5′1″, and I do not look like that. her arms are fatter than mine, and so is her mid-section and thighs. AND she’s got about six inches over me, so she is certainly lying.
Dejavu~ “Fat Actress” Kirstie Allie tried to pull the same stunt with the same weight-The situation was the same with hers and mine proportions.

Somebody please explain to me how Jennifer saying that she lost 30 pounds since her idol days means that she weighs 140 pounds. Sorry, but this is another bs story, and its getting ridiculous.
Comment by Hello World — March 28, 2007 @ 3:38 pm
Um, she said she lost 30 pounds since her Idol days. It says it right there in the story straight out of In Touch magazine. She said she weighed 170 during Idol, lost 30 now weighs 140. Like, you know, simple math.
Don’t like the story, call In Touch dude. Now quit your bitchin’, it really is annoying.

She really doesnot look like 140!!! I weight 145 at 5feet4 and i really dont look that big!!!! she is obviously lying big time!

I’m guessing she may be 140lbs. As a woman of 5′9″ myself and 146 lbs people think I weigh more because I’m big boned and carry most of my weight in my hips/butt. JHud carrys hers in her chest and appears larger then she is too.
Comment by Dustee — March 29, 2007 @ 9:48 am
she’s supposed to put both of her feet on the scale when she weighs her bad self.

Why do overweight (or fat) women insist on being called curvy?? JLo is curvy. Beyonce is too. Queen Latifah and Hudson are, ok VERY curvy.lol Seriously, curvy describes a woman w/an hourglass figure. That means a small waist. Let’s not kid ourselves.

To Ginger,
You are correct but when you are dealing with idiots and unlearnt individuals who have not one clue and go by what they believe is true then you come up with a lot of assumptions and you know where that leads you to. But my reason for posting is to say this think before you speak, she lost to Fantasia who I still to this day think is not attractive, but yet continued on and won an Oscar. I weigh 200lbs and I’m 5′6 and ppls think I weigh only 160lbs go figure AND I HAVE PICTURES TO PROVE IT AND A DAMN SCALE IF U LIKE!!! Just becuase somebody LOOKS a certain weight doesn’t mean they are what they appear! And if you ppls are of age you should know better than to judge a book by its cover. Who are You to Judge anyway, if shes 140lbs then B*+##% shes a 140lbs!

Who cares what she really weighs? She looks fabulous, and she’s an amazing singer to boot.

There is no way she is 140. My sister is 5′9″ and not 140 and she looks ten times thinner then she does. If she’s going to be in the public eye and talk about her weight issues she needs to be honest. Just like Star Jones, she acts as if she never got surgery for her weight, that’s total BS, just live up to it, people will respect you a lot more.

Whatever. Jennifer Hudson is beautiful, so I don’t understand why this is even an issue.
She weighs what she weighs…and she looks good, too!
It’s possible that she could be 140lbs, actually. Someone above said that if she were “really” 140lbs and 5′9″, she’d look like a “supermodel.”
Uh, no.
The average weight for most models who are 5′9″ ranges from 110-125 lbs. Baaasically, our image of the female body has been so skewed that we think someone who’s 5′9″ and 140lbs is fat.
The recommended Body Mass Index (BMI) is between 19 and 25.
At her current weight and height, Hudson’s BMI is 21, WHICH IS COMPLETELY HEALTHY.
It’s important to note, however, that even if she DID weigh 170lbs, she’d still be within healthy parameters according to the BMI figures.
Get over it. She’s gorgeous and you’re all just too obsessed with an unattainable ideal.

The girl might weigh 140 lbs. after a good 2 months with the stomach flu…I am 5′ 9″, 145 lbs., and a size 6…jennifer is firmly in the double-digits, my friends.

Jennifer’s toe weighs 140.

I can’t believe you know so much about what 140 pounds looks like. Personally, I have always looked lighter than what I actually am and have always fooled the professional weight guessers by as much as 50 pounds. This was both when I was 120 pounds (they guessed me at 100) and 280 (they poltely guessed 180, but actually looked about 210). So the amount of muscles versus fat can make a big difference in how any weight looks. And then, again, it is hard for someone in the public eye to be honest since whatever they say will come back to haunt them. As for Kirstie Allie, when she was on Oprah in her “bikini” I am sure she lied about how much she really weighed and also lied about her top weight which had to be at least 250. OH, well, do we really care what they say?
