At peace with her body: Oprah Winfrey revealed she has lost 42.5lbs when she appeared on This Morning to promote her cookbook Food, Health, and Happiness in New York on Tuesday

Oprah showed off her trim figure in a stylish gray jacket worn over a black cap-sleeved vest, a white shirt, black trousers and leather ankle boots as she headed inside the studio early on Tuesday morning.

And she admitted to co-hosts Charlie Rose, Norah O’Donnell and Gayle King that her cookbook wouldn't even exist without her commitment to Weight Watchers.

Oprah proudly revealed that she has lost 42.5lbs since joining the group in 2015, when she also bought a 10 percent stake in the company and joined the board.

She also admitted that Weight Watchers contacted her when she was at her heaviest after an ankle injury in Mauai prevented her from exercising.

'They called me, which I think is a funny point that they see me and they're saying, "You need help girl!" ' And the co-hosts laughed as she joked, 'I must be worse than I think!'

Gayle quoted Oprah from her book: 'You say this: "It's not about dieting, deprivation and guilting yourself." '

The star replied: 'Well. yes, Everyone knows I've had some struggles, more than yo-yoing, just struggles with food. At one point I had a big thyroid issue and fixed that. My struggle is trying to find the balance, I've tried every diet.'

And she added that her friends are amazed at the calorific things she still eats.

'They say, "I thought you were on Weight Watchers, you're eating this? You're eating truffle fries? Why are you serving tacos?" Because you can eat whatever you want,' Oprah said explaining the points system.

'What I've learned is ....Weight Watchers isn't a diet, it's a support system ... so I know I'll be doing it for the rest of my life. I feel healthier, more alive and more connected then I've ever been.'
