"As Beyonce says I woke up like this I woke up like this 14 pounds lighter we'll actually 14&half pounds lighter but who's counting ... Okay me ! Started @weightwatchers sept 12th ...." she wrote on a photo of her feet on a weighing scale which showed a comparison of her 170 pounds reading to her original 184.5 pounds. According to the Weight Watchers website, the diet revolves around a point system where dieters can eat anything "as long as it fits within the daily target." The "point budget" is based on the dieter's body statistics which also accounts for age and gender, to which males get higher daily targets because of muscle mass difference. In the two months that King tried out the diet, she seemed to have an off week as lost only a bit of weight despite not cheating.
