Hey everyone, Happy Celebrity Thursday & welcome to the official JUNGLE FITNESS OC, aka Orange County Personal Trainer Blog! Today we’re discussing Jennifer Hudson’s Life and how she overcame her hardships
!
On October 24, 2008, Hudson’s 57-year-old mother, Darnell Donnerson, and the singer’s 29-year-old brother, Jason, were found shot to death inside the Chicago home Donnerson shared with Hudson’s elder sister, Julia. An AMBER Alert was issued for Hudson’s 7-year-old nephew, Julian King, after Hudson’s sister, Julia, reported him missing.
Yet she still pulled through the one thing that could help her, music. Once she was on that stage she knew her family wanted her to sing with the soul, emotion, and love.
Formerly the “big girl” on “American Idol,” Jennifer Hudson is loving her new size 6 body.
The Weight Watchers spokesperson is in the best shape of her life, and showing it off on the latest cover of People magazine.
Unlike some celebs who may reach their ideal weight through detox diets or extreme exercise, the songstress-turned-actress slimmed down using Weight Watchers and training with Harley Pasternak after the birth of her son last August. She has since taken off even more weight to get ready for her upcoming role as Winnie Mandela, wife of Nelson Mandela.
“Whatever it takes to morph into a character I’ll do it,” Hudson told People.
Still, Hudson once told Us Weekly that she has “never really felt pressure to say, ‘OK, I need to be a size 2, a size 0.”
Before taking on this role, she said she had been asked to stay the same size.
Despite the excitement over Hudson’s weight loss, many challenges await. Weight Watchers, which promotes a lifestyle change and a reliance on a point-based system, is easy to follow with familiar foods. But once the actress reaches South Africa, she’ll be eating new cuisine which may be more difficult to decode on her number-based system.
“She will need to investigate every new product on this new continent,” Liz Josefsberg, Hudson’s Weight Watchers counselor, told People. “I am not the least bit worried about Jennifer … She is an amazing and resilient personality who will be just fine in her surroundings.”
The Oscar winner, who once gained more than 20 pounds for her role in “Dreamgirls,” will still be able to complete some of her favorite workouts — she’s a huge fan of running stairs — while filming, which should help alleviate fears about her ability to track her points. Additionally, Hudson is no stranger to weight-loss and weight-maintenance programs. Following her role in “Dreamgirls,” she lost 60 pounds.
After shedding those pounds, she told OK! magazine: “I eat as best as I can to maintain my thickness. I don’t want to be too thin, so it’s OK not to work out every once in awhile.”

Jennifer struggled during those hard times about who she was. It was undoubtedly tough and she had to find something to get her back on her feet. This was music and a her newborn baby. Becoming a mother reminds her of her mother, her child reminds her of her nephew, and her brother always loved to hear her sing. Also she’s healthier than ever!
