Queen Latifah Hits Weightloss Goal

QUEEN LATIFAH has become U.S. diet firm Jenny Craig's latest success story - after reaching her weightloss goal.

The rapper and Chicago star signed up as a celebrity spokesperson for Jenny Craig in January (08), aiming to shed 10

per cent of her bodyweight.

Latifah, 38, reveals she has hit that target, stating, "My intention was to lose five to 10 per cent of my bodyweight

because it makes a difference with health related issues, and I achieved that goal in a couple of months."

"I'm excited about this weightloss. My jeans are looser, I feel more energetic (and) people dig it.

"They come up to me and say, `I'm glad you're talking about the health side of it.' People get that message, which is important

too."
