Jennifer Hudson has lost 80 pounds and is now a size zero. Has she gone too far?

The star transformed herself by becoming a spokesperson for Weight Watchers in April 2010, eight months after giving birth to her son, David Jr.

She initially dropped from a size 16 to a size four through diet and working out for regular workout sessions with personal trainer, Harley Pasternak.

But now, Joy Behar on The View revealed that on a recent shopping trip, she bumped into the actress and overheard a salesperson tell the Dreamgirls star she was a size zero.

Joy Behar said that she saw the singer out shopping and eavesdropped on her conversation with a sales clerk, who remarked that Jennifer could fit into a size zero dress.

Joy recalled she asked Jennifer how it felt to be the much coveted but controversially small size.

‘I feel like they’re talking to someone else,’ she replied.

This past January, 5’9” singer said she felt like a different person.

“Instead of saying I lost this or that, I [say I] feel like I gained 10 years of my youth back,” she told USAToday. “I look 10 years younger.”

She also recently said: “Being skinny, it’s a job. It’s not easy…I feel this responsibility to the world now – people are watching, so I have to keep going in the right direction in terms of my weight loss.”

  2. That last quote, that tells me she’s gone to far. She was gorgeous before, she was talented before, and now she considers being skinny her job?

  3. I do NOT understand how these celebrity trainers allow their clients to go too far! They talk a big game about health but still focus on WEIGHT! Jennifer Hudson used to be a singer and an actress..now she sees maintening an ultra thin body as her “job”…sad..but even more infuriating! I’m wondering when Mr.Pasternek went from being Fitness instructor to Eating Disorder instructor?

      I’m with you Marci. How long can she keep this “job” up?

  4. Maintaining a healthy weight level is essential for for active lifestyle. Jennifer has to be careful that she does not become addicted to loosing weight otherwise that would be detrimental to her health.
