Queen Latifah's Body Transformation

0801latifah.jpg

She's been on a mission to lose weight -- and Queen Latifah has done it! The formerly plus-sized singer/actress is sharing her weight loss secrets in a series of webisodes for Jenny Craig that reveal her post-diet bod. Click here to see the amazing transformation!

In June, Queen told us she'd already lost 5% of her body fat since following the program -- but she's doing it to be healthy, not skinny. Then in January, she told "Extra," "I would never have made it this far if I tried to be like everybody else. If I worry about trying to fit in someone else's mold, you are not going to like the person I become."

Thank you, Aysia!!!Meat on bones is normal,especially on us women (to a healthy proportion) Here’s what irks me: 1,(Caucasian)media accepts the curves in non-Caucasian women,and watches very carefully about which adjectives are used to describe their figures and 2, the Caucasian MEN I’ve known all my life, w/ very few exception, love shapely women, as well (Most hate the celeb stick figures!)So, who likes the sickly thin?? My guess, the designers (for reasons I can’t say here), and the media,exactly like you wrote.These foolish women give in to the insanity! One day, hopefully, they’ll stop listening to the wrong advice, rise up, and EAT. Jeez, it’s a joy of life; no wonder they all look so miserable. (they’re doing harm to the kids who look up to them, too)I appreciate your reply so much, Aysia - long live womanly women!!!

Well, mainly its a difference in culture. In the black community curves are embraced because we like a little bit of meat on a women’s bones. Thats attractive,were as in a white society a slim figure is glorified. Who is the media..WHITE PEOPLE. Futhermore,they (the media) want you to be what they want you to be, so basically your never good enough because they are always comparing you to the next. Also, another point..nvm I won’t even get into that. In conclusion, most black people love hips, thighs, and don’t discriminate against pies!! Even though everyone should lol

She’s fabulous! That’s how women are usually built.(Jordin Sparks, America Ferrera, Beyonce, et al) I’m not saying she couldn’t lose a few more, but she’s right to do it to be healthy, not skinny. I have a question, however, and I wish there was a serious answer: If she looks great to all who see her, why in blazes do all the caucasian women half her size get called ‘fat’, get told to lose, lose, lose, til they’re skeletons, cry over a lb, because they’ll get fired, worry about one mm of cellulite, fly to the gym two seconds after a baby,and get the cute ‘nicknames like, zaftig, plus-sized, puffy, etc?Help me understand.
