I Got This - by Jennifer Hudson (Paperback)

About the Book

A memoir from Grammy and Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson, focused on her transformation as she embraced a healthy lifestyle and lost over eighty pounds.

Book Synopsis

An honest and inspirational story of dreaming big, winning big, and losing big, by one of today's most-beautiful voices and brightest Hollywood stars.

Exciting, inspirational, and honest, I Got This is Jennifer's journey from a girl growing up on Chicago's South Side to performing on the American Idol stage, where she heard not one but numerous remarks about her look not being right for stardom.

Tired of always trying to look the part, and raising a son for whom Jennifer wanted to set a good example, she decided to get healthy. She would lose the weight, once and for all--not for a role, not for a record label, but for herself. Teaming up with Weight Watchers and using their PointsPlus(R) program, Jennifer learned how to think about food differently, and in the process, changed her life for the better. In I Got This, she'll show you how she embraced Weight Watchers as a realistic, healthy way of life and helps anyone who has ever suffered from a weight problem to do the same.
