Jennifer Hudson has lost a ton of weight and is looking fabulous!

She was once a size 16, and has transformed her body into a slim size 6, reports CNN.com. "I'm in the best shape of my life!" the Oscar winner said.

Last summer, Jennifer, 28, gave birth to her son. It was a joyful time for Jennifer and her family, but she was also charged with the challenge of losing those baby pounds to prepare for her next movie role. "Whatever it takes to morph into a character I'll do it," the actress said.

The best part about Jennifer's transformation is that she did it the healthy way. She exercised, and she watched what she ate, by joining Weight Watchers. In fact, she actually became the official spokesperson of Weight Watchers earlier this year.

So how can you benefit from Jennifer's experience? Let her weight loss inspire you! As a busy actress, singer, spokesperson, public figure, mother and wife, Jennifer's life is just as busy and hectic as anyone's. She works hard and travels a lot, but she has somehow still managed to keep up her healthy lifestyle.

Following Jennifer's example by joining a program like Weight Watchers, which promotes making healthy choices and using portion control to help shed pounds, is a great way to lose weight.

Hudson shows us that losing weight doesn't have to be unpleasant or difficult and that it IS possible. According to FitDaily.com, Jennifer says her advice for someone trying to lose weight is to have confidence. "You can do it!" she says.

 Good luck on your weight loss journey!
