Jennifer Hudson loving her weight loss

Jennifer Hudson is more proud of her weight loss than winning an Oscar.
The 29-year-old singer-and-actress has shed 80lbs and dropped five dress sizes and admits she is so happy with the way she has transformed her figure, she values the achievement more than scooping the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for Dreamgirls in 2007.
“I’m prouder of my weight loss than my Oscar!” she said.
Jennifer who shot to fame after appearing on American Idol in 2004 was inspired to lose weight during her pregnancy with son David, now two.
“I thought, hold on why doesn’t anybody know I’m pregnant? And I wanted to set a good example for my son,” she said.
Despite her pride in her weight loss, Jennifer who is engaged to David’s father, WWE wrestler David Otunga claims she wasn’t aware she was overweight until she moved to Hollywood.
“I didn’t even know I was considered plus-sized until I came to Hollywood. I thought I was the perfect size!” she said.
“[One day] an interviewer asked, ‘How does it feel to be plus-sized in Hollywood?’ I looked around, like, ‘Who is she talking to? Oh, me? I’m plus-sized?’ In the neighbourhood I’m from in Chicago, a 16 is normal. But in Hollywood, everyone looks exactly the same, so I stood out.”
