"I lost 26 pounds, and I have eaten bread every single day," Winfrey said in the ad (see video). "This is the joy for me! I love bread! I love bread."
Oprah started the Weight Watchers diet in August 2015 and was so happy with her weight loss she purchased a 10% stake in Weight Watchers for $43 million.
The "Oprah effect" sent Weight Watchers stock soaring, and she pocketed $71.6 million in one day on the massive stock swing following news she had joined the group's board of directors.
Oprah's weight loss secrets were a portion-controlled diet and regular exercise that includes walking on the treadmill and elliptical trainer, Celebrity Health & Fitness reported.
Oprah said emotional overeating caused her to become obese.
In 1988, Oprah famously lost 67 pounds on a liquid diet, but immediately regained the weight once she resumed a normal diet.
Oprah, who has overcome childhood sexual abuse, a teenage pregnancy, and decades of weight fluctuations, said she has a new appreciation for her body because she's healthy. Looking back, Winfrey regrets she spent so much time trying to be a certain size that she took her good health for granted.
"All the years I dieted, complained, and was less than satisfied with my shape have yielded to a new perspective, an appreciation for the body that's brought me this far," said Oprah. "I've spent too many years resisting, neglecting and negating my body."
