She described herself as an emotional eater with serious body issues.
But Janet Jackson is seen here looking confident and happy after a
weight loss programme helped her shed the pounds.
The 45-year-old singer, who has battled the bulge over the years, is in incredible shape in the promo snap from her Nutrisystem ad. Janet, the sister of the late Michael Jackson, shows off her figure in a tight
orange dress and sky high Louboutin heels.
She is yet to reveal how much weight she has lost - but a sneak peek of the ad has been released.
Newly-slim Jackson proclaims in the
commercial: 'This is what success looks like,' before going on to describe the
Nutrisystem plan, based on eating low glycemic foods which leave you feeling full for longer.
While she was once revered for her incredibly toned abs, Janet's weight has yo-yoed over the years.
Back in 2006 she tipped the scales at 180lbs before slimming down.
However following the death of her brother Michael in 2009, Janet started to pile on the pounds.
What a difference a year makes: A chunky Janet tipped the scales at 180lbs, seen left in January 2006 and right, slimmed down by December the same year
She is the latest celeb to use Nutrisystem to fight the flab, with Marie Osmond having previously shed 50lbs on the programme.
Janet documented her weight struggle in her 2011 tell-all book True You: A Journey to Finding and
Loving Yourself in which she described herself as an 'emotional eater' with serious body
image issues.
Janet's ad will
premiere in full next Monday.
