Jordin Sparks recently lost 50 pounds after a long battle with her weight following her 2007American Idol win.
The singer discussed her journey in the September issue of Redbook and said the process wasn’t easy.
“My whole journey has been about self-acceptance,” she said. “There’s no quick or magical way to lose weight. You just have to do it the natural way-diet and exercise and stick to it-and be able to do it at your own pace. Everyone has their own thing.”

Sparks continued, saying she’s confident in her new skin.“I’m in my prime. I should be happy and fit. That was the moment I decided that changes needed to be made.”

Sparks moved on to what it was like working with the late Whitney Houston in their upcoming film Sparkle. She raved about her mothering qualities, saying Houston did everything to make her feel comfortable on set.
The film is a remake of the blockbuster telling the story of a girl group experiencing difficulty after one member becomes a drug addict and another achieves their desired fame.
