At 48, Valerie Bertinelli drops more than 40 lbs.
The night before Valerie Bertinelli prepared to step out in public wearing a bikini — for the first time in nearly 30 years! — she found herself unable to sleep. As her mind raced with insecurity (”I thought, Am I really going to do this? Can I pull this off?” the actress admits), Valerie Bertinelli tried to summon up a pep talk, telling herself, “What am I so afraid of? Come on — it’s just a bathing suit!”
And yet as any woman knows, those innocent-looking strips of Lycra can be a terrifying sight — especially for someone just shy of her 49th birthday (April 23), who only two years ago tipped the scales at 172 lbs. — more than 40 lbs. over her goal weight for her 5′4″ frame. But after whittling herself down to 132 lbs. in about 9 months on Jenny Craig, Valerie Bertinelli, who had last worn a bikini when she was 20, was ready for a new challenge.
Valerie Bertinelli Shows of Hot Bikini Bod on the Cover of ‘People’
Valerie Bertinelli is on the cover of People magazine. Sure, she’s been there before, but most recently it has been in association with her battle with her weight problem. But not this time around. Valerie Bertinelli is in bikini – and, no, it’s not one of those “guess who this is?” or a gross-out nearly naked picture, either.
At 48 years old and after losing 40 pounds adhering to the Jenny Craig weight-loss method, Valerie Bertinelli is looking hot, more hot, hotter than she has ever looked. Boldly standing with her hand on her hip in a two-piece spring green bikini, Valerie Bertinelli graces the cover of People with a confident smile.
And she should feel confident. She has had her problems with controlling her weight, especially after her break-up and divorce with rocker Eddie Van Halen. She has been a spokesperson for Jenny Craig, the weight loss regimen organization, for the past few years, maintaining a blog and keeping the world apprised with the her daily routines. She even mentions Jenny Craig in her autobiography, Losing It—And Gaining My Life Back One Pound At A Time.
But whether it was Jenny Craig’s weight loss program or Valerie Bertinelli’s perseverance, or a combination of the two, the “One Day At A Time” actress has certainly slimmed down.
