Country singer Wynonna Judd is getting in shape and dropping pounds with Alli. The 44 year old star has signed on as the new spokeswoman for the diet pill Alli, and will appear in their national advertising campaign. Alli is an FDA approved, over-the-counter weight loss product that promises to increase your weight loss by 50%.
The star says she hopes her public weight battle will help others who are struggling with similar issues. "This is about me picking something that I know works for me. I can still plan (my work) and not feel like Alli is dictating my life as I have in the past on other programs. It fits into my schedule". "I don't have diet goals. My goals are to live as happy and healthy as I can. People can see themselves in me and say, You know what? If she can do it, I can do it."
Known for her past struggles with food addiction and weight issues, Judd says that she's passed up offers to front other diet pills in the past over worries that they were safe. "Alli has allowed me a sense of well-being," says Judd. "The fact that it is FDA-approved really struck a chord with me because that means it has been thoroughly tested and is safe."
Following a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet, the star hopes that her struggles and triumphs will help motivate others with weight problems to take a step towards a healthier lifestyle. "I hope people will be inspired by the fact that I've overcome a lot, I'm still here and it's a miracle."
