Sarah Ferguson rarely talks about her own weight — usually referring to it in terms of dress size rather than pounds — but as a longtime spokeswoman for Weight Watchers, she is a model of success.
The 43-year-old Duchess of York is now down to a trim 140 pounds.
"Two hundred and twenty pounds" is what she weighed 10 years ago, the 5-foot-7 1/2-inch Ferguson told The New York Times in an interview published Friday.
By the time she joined Weight Watchers as its public face worldwide seven years ago, she had already shed some of her bulk, said Jerry Cassanova, a company spokesman.
On Friday, she helped Weight Watchers celebrate its 40th anniversary at an event on Long Island.
"Now I'm down to a size 8," said the former wife of England's Prince Andrew.
