Description

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® 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.

    Reading about Jennifer's story, I can see myself going through many of the same struggles with my weight, though my struggles didn't include the fame factor. She's got an incredible story and Ian glad to have followed in her footsteps to a healthier lifestyle via Weight Watchers!

    I enjoyed the book. In 2007 I lost 50 pounds. I recently felt like it was doomed to come back. I am up 15 and need to stop this climb before I see 210 again. I had used the southbeach diet and thought the only way to do this was to be drastic. I am putting faith in the numbers, the points. You are an inspiration Jennifer

    This book was awesome in so many ways. It will inspire you to lose weight but lose weight for the right reasons. It will inspire you to go after your dreams no matter how many negative obstacles come your way. It will remind you to always keep God first in everything you do and all your dreams will come to pass. It will have you thinking about how important family support is no matter what you are doing in life. This was just a great book. I really wasn't a big Jennifer Hudson fan, but this book has allowed me to see her so differently. She has a great mind set. Wishing her the best in life and thank you Jennifer for sharing this book to the world. Blessings!

    I look to you describes how I feel about Jennifer Hudson! You are such an inspiration. I have always followed you since American Idol. I could not believe that you did not win. I guess it's true what they say. Things happen for reason. Look at you now! I am so happy for you and I want to thank you for inspiring me to join weight watchers. I have lost 65 pounds and love reading your book. You gave us a lot of your self. I pray for you to continue to secede in everything that you do. I have had a different experience with W watchers. Thanks to you I keep going Good luck and have a great life!
