  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.
