Valerie Bertinelli’s Weight Gain

Over the years, Valerie Bertinelli has faded from the spotlight and little has been seen of the actress. In the latest People magazine cover story, Bertinelli opens up about her weight gain and upcoming plan to lose weight. In the interview, she tells the magazine, "I need to do this in front of millions of people so I can't mess up, adding, "It is freeing because I can say it first: I know what you're thinking – I'm fat."

Jenny Craig’s First Spokeswoman

Kirstie Alley was the first celebrity to address her weight and subsequent loss publicly when she signed on with Jenny Craig in December 2004. In November 2006, Alley appeared on Oprah to reveal her new slim figure in a bathing suit. Overall, the actress lost 75 pounds since beginning the program and continues to be the weight loss company’s spokeswoman.

Bertinelli to Appear in Ads

Valerie Bertinelli hopes to lose 30 pounds by September 2007, which would be a change in dress size from 14 to size 8. She will appear in a new Jenny Craig commercial every month, alongside Kirstie Alley, chronicaling her weight loss over time. In time, Bertinelli hopes this kind of public motivation will keep her on the fast track to a slimmer figure.
