Jordin Sparks - Jordin Sparks Reveals Dramatic 50lbs Weight Loss Secrets

Jordin has long been known for being a little larger than most, but after her turn on Broadway back in 2010 the star decided that enough was enough and it was time to change her ways. Speaking to Savannah Guthrie on the Today show on NBC, Sparks revealed that actually there wasn't too much too her weight loss, as it was all a matter of looking at what she was eating and cutting back a little, eating a few more salads and exercising. She told Savannah that, after her stint on Broadway she said to herself, "I am not going to take my health for granted anymore. This changes right here, right now."

As anyone who has seen Jordin on the cover of magazines or on the red carpet recently then you can tell that things have changed indeed. Sparks was also on the show to talk about her upcoming movie, Sparkle, which she stars in alongside the late Whitney Houston. She revealed her joy of being cast alongside one of her heroes, and the sheer heartbreak she felt when Houston passed away earlier this year. Sparkle will be released in October this year through Sony's TriStar Pictures.
