In between posing for pictures on the Queen Sugar premiere’s red carpet, Winfrey admitted that Weight Watchers — for which she is a spokesperson and shareholder — had helped her lose a significant amount of weight. According to the media mogul, the weight loss has even spiced up her relationship with longtime partner Stedman Graham.

“I would like him to pick me up and carry me to the pool. I’ve lost enough weight, he can pick me up and carry me to the pool,” Winfrey joked to People magazine. “I can straddle him without breaking his back.”

Winfrey added of Weight Watchers, “I don’t feel like I’m on a diet that I’m ever going to go off again. I feel like I’ll be counting points for the rest of my life.”

Winfrey is the executive producer for OWN drama series Queen Sugar, which centers on a trio of estranged siblings who are pulled back together to run a sugarcane farm in Louisiana. Selma‘s Ava DuVernay is the TV project’s creator and serves as a producer and director on the series.

“I’m partnering with somebody who is not only this incredible talent for our time, Ava DuVernay, [but] you’re going to see her rise and rise and rise,” Winfrey said at the Queen Sugar premiere. “Her future’s so bright it is burning our eyes already.”

Queen Sugar‘s two-night series premiere will air September 6 and 7 on OWN at 10/9c.
