Says he was inspired by Jennifer Hudson, American Idol finalist Burnell Taylor dropped 40 lbs in just 30 days – in time for the live shows! ‘Determination is so, so important, and if you don’t have that, then you’re not going to get past anything,’ the19-year-old told People Magazine. He also added, ‘I knew I had to lose it, and I never gave up on it because I would work out in the past and I always gave up because I never saw the results. But when I started seeing the results I was like, “You have to keep going, keep going!”‘ Such an amazing job, we hope he keeps up the determination. He even got India Arie to follow him on Twitter, along with the 10k he already had just from the show alone! Check out the footage of him performing as well his weight before & after below!
