FIT AND FAB: Jennifer Hudson Opens Her Own Weight Watchers Center In Chicago

 

Jennifer Hudson continued to spread her "Feeling Good" message, opening her own Weight Watchers center on the southside of Chicago yesterday. See the pics inside....

Yesterday, Jennifer Hudson hosted the grand opening of the Jennifer Hudson Weight Watchers Center in her hometown of CHicago yesterday.

The center is a testament to Jennifer's amazing lifestyle transformation.  She said, “I never thought I would make it to have my own center.  I’m so honored to be here and see this day.”  And she looked fabulous in her black peplum Stella McCartney dress.

Jennifer celebrated by cutting the ribbon with Alderman Will Burns and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel.  Afterwards, she posed with the mayor and Cheryl Callan.

The star of the Winnie biopic paired her dress with cheetah Louboutin boots.

The center will donate a portion of its revenue to the Julian D. King Gift Foundation, an organization Jennifer set up to honor her deceased nephew.

Congrats Jenny!

Jennifer has lap band

Jennifer has lap band surgery. She should stop hogging the spotlight. Thats why ppl have grown tired of the ugly bitch. Weight Watchers should be ashamed and should seek a new person for their commercials, perhaps someone who actually lost weight that way. I dont care how hood this ho think she is she cant whoop everybody & def NOT ME! Truth is WE ARE TIRED OF HER AND HER GAY ASS HUSBAND AND UGLY ASS SOON TO BE GAY TOO -CHILD. ITS ONE THING TO RECEIVE PRAISE BUT THIS BITCH HAS GONE PSYCHO. JENNIFER! SIT THE FUCK DOWN! PLEASE! WE ARE TIRED OF YOUR STANKY ASS.

I'm so tired of her ass! I'm glad you lost weight, but guess what? Your son still looks like a troll baby, you need botox around your mouth AND on top of that, your whiny ass commercials STILL don't prove you can sing to me. Glad you're helping others achieve their weight goal, though.

I LOVE the fact that she and

I LOVE the fact that she and Michelle Obama are bringing so much attention and awareness to nutrition, health, and fitness. It's the first time having a Black Woman in the White House as First Lady and the First time having a Black Woman be the spokesperson for Weight Watchers. Two incredible feats if you think about it. I attend Weight Watchers and have lost 43 pounds since last year. I can tell you first hand that Jennifer has brought more exposure to the program than anybody in the past have. I love it because I know first hand that it works. We've had people loose over 100 lbs since joining. Congratulations to her for changing her life and for wanting to assist others in doing so as well.

Thanks. It saddens me to see

Thanks. It saddens me to see so much hate and venom being directed at this young lady who is trying to do something positive and inspire others to do the same. I know first hand that it's not easy being over weight and feeling uncomfortable with yourself. That's why I commend her for doing it because she can reach more people (because of who she is) and inspire them. I've had several people join after they saw me loose and all of them have started loosing.

These comments are hilarious,

These comments are hilarious, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I have been a fan of hers since American Idol. I think she looks good, but I also think she either had lap band or gastric bypass surgery when she had her son. She's too young to not be toned from losing weight by exercise and cutting back. Whatever the case may be, I am sure that she feels good. I don't blame her - I would capitalize on it, too.

Comments like these really

Comments like these really bother me...because u haven't did or witness something done then it could not have possibly have happened. First, major of mothers lose at least 10 to 20 lbs once they have there baby. So that one factor why so lost weight. Secondly, anyone who have done weight watcher or Jenny Craigs knows that once u change your eating habits, u are going to lose weight. The girl is young and her husband loves the gym so it would not be hard have been hard to tone her body up. I have been to boot camp for military and saw people lose 30 lbs and body was tone and tight within two months. Get of ur fat ass and work out and u will see how it can be done without surgery!!! Foolish minded ppl...I swear!!

(Singing) HATE ON ME HATER!

(Singing) HATE ON ME HATER! NOW OR LATER, CAUSE I'M GONNA TO DO ME, JUST BE MAD BABY! GO HEAD AND HATE ON ME HATER, I'M NOT AFRAID OF, WHAT I GOT I PAID FOR, SO YOU CAN HATE ON ME!!! Congratulations for Ms. Hudson for doing BIG THINGS in her life and her community. For not allowing a tragedy that could've broken her to keep her down, and for living her dreams. A prayer for all the sad, lonely, hateful people that feel the need to critique and judge every aspect of someone else's life while they are sittting behind a keyboard FAT and LONELY with little to know self esteem, going to a job that they hate everyday and will not be known for anything positive when they leave this earth. Perhaps if they looked at Ms. Hudson's story for inspiration as oppossed to fodder for gossip and judgement then they could make positive changes in their lives. Many won't and 5 years from now will still be the same sad, lonely, pathetic person with no personal accomplishments beyond making babies to speak of. Same tired job, same tired existence and just as miserable as they are now while life has passed them by. Y'all have a blessed day.

Congratulations on the Weight

Congratulations on the Weight Loss Center J. Hud...but seriously I am tired of her. She is just around too much. I didn't have a problem with her before. Not that I personally have a problem with her now she just seems extra. I liked the J. Hud from Sex and The City.

Acutally I think she is the

Acutally I think she is the same "Sex and the city" Jennifer...she is just skinny so peoples perception is different. She has always been funny and sassy which folks thought was cute when she was bigger..now that she lost the weight she is the same but people see it as cocky. And that girl went through A LOT since Sex and the City...heck...I would be different to...and so would you.

People are continuously on

People are continuously on the "extra" page on this site. Nobody can freely express their opinion without being jumped on. They are called names that people cannot even define without a dictionary. Not to mention the endless and useless use of the word "HATER" give me a break.

Who cares who you like?

Who cares who you like? You're tired of her but you made the effort to not only open the post but make comments as well as opposed to just scrolling to the next subject. Work on you cause I'm sure there's something you can find about your self that you don't like.

Do you have something else

Do you have something else going on in your life??? If so maybe you should use that to keep you busy and you wouldn't be concerned with what she is doing. She's making major moves, major money and changing lives..... What are you doing except lurking in a blog site? Get a life.

So much shade being thrown at

So much shade being thrown at JHud. I personally think she is fabulous and she should keep doing her thing. Only betters things to come for her. She has one of the best voices in music since, Whitney, Mariah, Celine, etc. She shook up with industry with her powerhouse vocals. Love her.

Jennifer Hudson is one of

Jennifer Hudson is one of those celebities that really don't like or dislike but, I hate her voice. She sounds like an old lady at church. Her voice isn't pretty at all like Whitney Houston voice was. I like singers like: Whitney Houston, Mariah Cary, and Christina Aguilera and others. I hate the way she speaks. I believe she as a speech problem and needs to work on her diction. The way you speak affects the way you sing and how you pronounce your words. I think her acting ability is better than her singing ability. She could use a speech coach. Her weight loss is great but, I am not sold on how she really lost it. Normally losing weight does not age you when you are doing it in a healthy way. She is just 30 and looks over 40. When people lose weight I think they feel this is all they have to do. Why not go all the way through your new transformation? #1 Go get your teeth done. #2 leave the lacefronts alone and go get your hair done #3 Go get toned when you loose the weight if you want to wear the type of clothing that she wears. She is someone I really never talk about because she soooo Blah and Uninteresting. She is just a lucky plain ordinary lady. Just commenting on her is like watching paint dry. Why even bring Rih Rih in this converstion comparing the two is like coming Heaven to Hell! Congrats on Business venture love to see blacks own their own businesses!

Wow...you sound like you "know" a lot about Jennifer. I am a fan and you sound like you know more than me! When I don't like someone, I tend not to focus my energy on them. You are just coming of as either a hater or jealous. Work on that.

dam near her whole immediate

dam near her whole immediate family got killed. i wouldnt call that being a lucky girl at all. if this gives her a positive outlet for her emotions then so be it. the best way to get over your own problems is to help someone else with theirs. her job is to entertain and be a public figure and thats pretty much what she's doing. betty ford opened up a rehab after dealing with her own addictions and now j.hud is opening up a weight watchers to help ppl deal with their own issues with food and size but somehow i doubt that betty ford caught as much flack as j.h. is getting. i dont think its so much that j.hud is MAKING herself known for this as much as it is about her being one of natasha's favorite ppl to make a thread about. its not jennifer thats redundant and boring, its ybf.
