He called them paying him to lose weight a scam, not Weight Watchers itself. |

Yeah I can see why. I bet they're paying Jennifer Hudson to lose her weight. She's losing more weight faster than the Energizer Bunny. |

I can't see the video but is he saying they are paying him to lose weight? They are paying another fat multi-millionaire to lose weight and get healthy? I think Weight Watchers has it all backwards. I can only speak for myself, but I would better relate to them featuring the average joe in their commercials rather than some big shot celebrity who probably has personal chefs preparing their meals and personal trainers helping them with their workouts.

Did anybody really think they weren't paying him?
Also, it doesn't actually make any difference because it still shows that their weight loss plan works. |

I honestly don't believe that J-Hud lost all her weight through Weight Watchers...nor do I believe that any of the celebs that endorse other weight programs actually lose on the program itself. They are just paid to do these commercials while they have their personal chefs and personal trainers to help them to really lose the weight. Either that or they do the surgery. I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. |

Exactly! Though I can believe Charles lost it on his own merit (and not by WW). But Jennifer... something screams surgery to me. Her head bigger than her body now. |

He's calling it a scam because he feels that it is something easy for him and it is like he is scamming them out of their money. He also referred to his TNT gig as a "scam" because he got paid to watch and talk about sports. So, it's not a bad thing. |

See I didn't even watch the video. But if he's saying it like that then he's right. |

By the way, you embedded the video wrong or posted the wrong link or something, this is why no one could see it... |

That's strange. I guess the link won't embedd. I put the link above also.

As far as Mariah's concerned, is it just me or does she not look at that small? I mean yes, obviously she's smaller than she was while she was pregnant, but c'mon she was with baby. I've seen that Jenny commercial and something just smells photoshop to me.

She's scaring me. I believe that her extreme weight loss is somehow shadowing the grief she's still going through with her family being murdered. While everyone is screaming that she looks great, I think she's gone past her limit. She could've stopped at a size 6 and looked great. Look at Vanessa L. Williams...I believe she's either a size 6 or 8 and I swear she looks immaculate than any size 2 or 0 woman. Not saying that Weight Watchers or any other weight loss program doesn't work, I've seen where WW has worked for folks I know personally, but it hasn't done anything for me. I lose more weight on my own, rather than having someone to tell me how to do it. And I get to keep more money in my pockets doing it as well. I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. |

Only thing I can think about Weight Watcher is that this is the perfect time to get that second job from them, this is their peak season and they are definitely capitalizing on it. |

I don't think she's gone past her limit, but IMO she's definitely very near it. I had those same thoughts, though, so I hope she puts the breaks on the weight loss and just sticks with cardio and muscle work. |
