Valerie Bertinelli lost 40 pounds (and still ate pie)
Life&Style magazine’s latest issue tells us how Valerie Bertinelli (best known for her role in the TV series “One Day at a Time“) lost 40 pounds.
Valerie has been struggling with her weight for twenty years. Yo-yo dieting, and going through her share of depression, and self esteem issues. She was inspired by Kirstie Alley’s weight loss while on the Jenny Craig Diet, so she decided to “call Jenny”. Now some forty pounds lighter, it seems Valerie has found the right mix of diet and exercise to keep her in shape.
This year, actress Valerie Bertinelli had to rethink her standard New Year’s resolution. For the first time in two decades, Valerie — who after nine months on the Jenny Craig diet has reached her 40-pound weight-loss goal — woke up on Jan. 1 not thinking about her weight. “That roller coaster, that battle, is over,” she says as Jenny Craig’s spokeswoman. “It’s over.” [Source]
The Jenny Craig diet that Valerie Bertinelli is following relies on its own line of meals, snacks and treats, but it also includes plenty of fruit and unlimited servings of non-starchy vegetables like carrots, broccoli and tomatoes.

Why can’t stars be upfront and say Hey not only am I fat I weigh 165 pounds and have lost 50. By being coy and not trully honest it leaves people wondering how much Valerie weighed to begin with and how much she weighs now. What is so wrong that she can’t tell the truth? I am so sick of stars saying one thing. It gives young girls a complex about their body when their is no shame is admitting a certain weight and how much one has lost.
