The Oscar and Grammy winner appeared on Oprah this week in the run-up to the release of her new album and revealed she had dropped 80 pounds,

"Most of all I wanted my body back, so I made up my mind while I was pregnant," said Hudson.

The former "American Idol" finalist said she realized while she was expecting that she needed to get into shape because she was still wearing the same clothes she had before she got pregnant. "So what does that say? I don't really like this."

The Los Angeles Times said Saturday fashion guru and "Project Runway" mentor Tim Gunn, who was also a guest on the show, called Hudson "stunning" while Oprah herself gave everyone in the audience a Weight Watchers program of their own.
