Jennifer Hudson Covers InStyle Magazine, Alicia Keys Shows Off Pregnant Bikini Body

Powerhouse singer Jennifer Hudson is gracing the cover of this month's issue of InStyle magazine and looking better than ever in her newly slim body. The Oscar-winning actress admits that fans aren't the only ones having a problem recognizing her new and improved look. "Once in awhile I see a picture of myself and I'm like 'Wow! This is what I look like?"

After the birth of her son, David Otunga Jr., last August, the 'DreamGirls' star found herself 35 pounds heavier. "I was like, 'Who? ... Oh, my God, this is me,' said Hudson after seeing pictures of herself post-pregnancy. Hudson joined Weight Watchers shortly after, and in April, she became the national spokesperson for the weight loss program.

In an interview with People, Hudson revealed that her goal for joining Weight Watchers was not to become skinny but to become healthy. The new mother would like to set a positive example for her son in the future. "This is a good way of how I would want my child to grow up, because so many times in growing up, you gain really bad [eating] habits... so I want to make sure that he's going into this and I'm being a good example for him."

Although Hudson won't divulge the exact number of pounds she's shed in the past year, rumor has it the songstress dropped close to 56 pounds while prepping for her role as Winnie Mandela. Keep up the good work J Hud!

Hudson may have struggled with her baby weight, but it looks like mommy-to-be Alicia Keys is having no issue staying fit! The blogosphere was all a buzz when pictures surfaced of the songstress showing off her bulging belly in a bikini. The photo was taken just hours before the Keys said "I do" to music producer Swizz Beatz. The newlyweds are expecting their first child this fall.

Oh, Alicia, if only everyone could look that good pregnant!
