While we're in the topic of success stories, have you seen Jennifer Hudson lately? I love how she grew, from the big girl in pink, billowing her way to the American Idol, to the Academy Award, to the deaths she experienced, and to being a mom, she's been through A LOT considering her age.
I can still remember her in Idol. When she was sang "Imagine". She was wearing this pink dress that she actually made.
Now, fast forward to a couple of years later, here's how she looks like now.
I love her transformation! I just hope she still sounds the same, or if not, better. I hope the pounds she removed didn't include the vocal power.
