In her gutsy revelation, the American Idol winner told US Today show anchor, Jenna Bush Hager she felt comfortable in her skin and wanted other women to not feel bullied by the number on the scale.
“I fluctuate a bit. I go anywhere from 155 to 161 pounds,” said Sparks. “That is how much I weigh, and I’m okay with it. It feels really good,” she added.
Jordin Sparks, who won American Idol in 2007, was certainly cutting a slimmer figure on the red carpet at the weekend.
At 6-feet tall, Sparks has always been striking, but recently the diva has dropped more than 20 kilograms and says she’s never felt better.
“I had gotten really sick. And I was about to celebrate my birthday and I was like, ‘I should be in the prime of my life right now. I shouldn’t be feeling like this. I really need to make my health a priority’.”

Jordin, 24, says despite her weight loss, she has always been confident.
“I was comfortable with how I looked before, but it was about really focusing on become healthier,” explained the singer.
“And then my body changed, which was awesome. But it wasn’t about being a size zero, or anything like that.”

Jordin – who has dated fit pop singer Jason Derulo for three years – recently shared a sexy bikini selfie on social media.
The singer posted a sexy selfie posing in a bikini in early April.
In early April, Sparks took a selfie before attending a pool party at the Venetian Casino to support Derulo, 24, who was hosting the event. Sporting a neon green striped bikini, the statuesque entertainer showed off her shapely legs and flat tummy.
“My bathing suit today! BIG step for me to wear something like this on a carpet. Yeah, yeah, yeah I know it was for a pool party…but for ME, this was HUGE,” the singer wrote under the post.
