Check out the photo shoot and the highlights from the interview below…
On her fave indulgences
‘You have what you’re craving. Chocolate is what I love — I have it every day.’
On the benefits of having her family on Weight Watchers with her
‘It’s great because before we eat — say, before a holiday or a big family reunion — lots of us are saying, how many points is this, how many points is that, so we’re together on it.’
On fiance David’s strict dieting
‘Cheating for him is like, one chicken wing, instead of skinless chicken breast! He is like, no carbs; he only uses two or three seasonings, total, ever. He really understands.’
On indulging in her own new slim body
‘It’s taken me a long time to feel it, get used to it. I’m still figuring it out with my body—rediscovering myself, how I’m perceived…With my new weight, it’s like I have more room to play — sometimes I feel like I’m my own doll, dressing myself up.’
On making comfy clothes for all sizes in her new JH Collection for QVC
‘Us ladies, we don’t always get cute if we’re getting comfort. You want both. I hate when you see a guy and girl out together, and he’s walking along, feeling great, and she can’t walk in her heels and she’s freezing in her dress …It has to look as good in size 16 as it does in size six. Would my old self love this as much as my new self? Could big Jennifer wear this?’
