Publisher 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.

Got me started!
The book enlightened and inspired me to start on my own personal weight loss journey. I never would have joined WW without reading this book. 7 weeks later I am down 12 pounds and she's right the program is easy!!
I Got This
Jennifer, thanks for writing such an honest book. You are truly an inspiration which I'm sure you hear daily. Weight Watchers was the one diet I had never tried. It sounded so easy that I was sure it couldn't possibly be effective. If you weren't in some way suffering, either financially from having to purchase a plan's food or from boredom out of having a limited selection of foods that were 'allowed', how could you possibly lose weight. After getting to know you through your Idol journey, I felt like your endorsement of WW meant that it was worth trying. I'm 20 lbs into my weight loss and feeling great. I'd like to lose 10 more. This is he place where I'd get nervous because I've always been able to lose the weight, maintaining the loss has always been my challenge. This time, however, I'm not nervous because there has been nothing about this weight loss journey that has been a sacrifice. In fact, I feel like my WW counsellor will say, "Hey Karen. You're at your goal", to which I'll say, "WHATEVER!" For the first time in all my weight loss attempts, I'm not nervous about maintaining. All the best in this next chapter for you and your beautiful family! You're a pillar of strength!
How I got this way....Jennifer Hudson
I loved reading her story in her own words.
I so enjoyed Jennifer on Am.Idol so it was very fun to see her in her 1st WW commercial.
She is such an inspiration to any young woman who is fighting to become a healthier person.
I hope to read more from her as she continues in life & career.
