Valerie Bertinelli wants to lose 30lbs and is the new celebrity face for Jenny Craig

[darksithbunny]

I took this picture about 15 years ago. Valerie's mom is the lady who is not Valerie nor the bride

Although the dress (which was the style at the time) is SOOOO unflattering, you can tell that she's a large woman. From my observations, it seemed that Valerie had a simlar build. Wolf was only a few months old, so she was carrying some baby weight, but you know how genetics are. Valerie is beautiful but I think she has one of those bodies that put on weight relatively easy.

That church looks so familar. Is it perhaps in Louisianna?

[Lobelia]

Yes, it's in Shreveport!

[Bellatheball]

Eh, I'm 5'2" like she is and I think she's telling the truth about her size. I passed over a size 14 after I was pregnant and I was friggen huge. That's not to say that she's huge but I'll bet she's telling the truth.

[LaLaurita]

If she wants to slim down, Jenny Craig is not the way to do it!

[Palermo]

what I was surprised to see (well not really) was how big Kirstie seems to have gotten already; not a very good endorsement of Jenny if you put the weight on again, aren't you supposed to have learned a whole new way of eating blah blah blah

I've just really noticed what a cute face Valerie has. I know she's been around since Adam was a boy, but I never paid much attention to her.

[piperdiva]

Well, I'm Valerie's height. Looking at her, I'd say we are about the same weight-wise, and I am hovering around 138. And yes, in some clothing, I do wear a 14. The height makes all the difference. I can lose 6 dress sizes in just 20 pounds.

[ManxMouse]

I am more concerned about her mother not having any arms.

[lisalucy69]

i think Valerie is very pretty. She hasn't aged much in her face. i wish her luck with her weight loss.

Have you seen the first commercials with Kirstie and Valerie? Kirstie, as always, is standing with one leg in front of the other to make her look slimmer. The funniest thing is that Valerie, at her starting weight, looks smaller than Kirstie.

They can ditch Kirstie now and let Valerie do the commercials...she's so much more personable.

I've been reading that her new live in love has been arrested more than once in the past for domestic abuse, I'm more worried for her that way than anything about her weight. She seems to pick loser men...

This is an article from the Enquirer.

yeah theres something about kristie's weight loss that just doesnt make me go "WOW". Granted, she lost 50+ lbs regardless of whether she lies about her starting weight/finishing weight. But in truth, shes still huge and I think about 25lbs away from "WOW". My guess is she started off at 220 and now weighs about 165. Shes still fat, shes just not obese anymore. I do however think that Valerie will WOW us

I have noticed that also.
Kirstie just doesn't want to be shown up at anything.
OT, have you ever read the life she lived when she was on top? OMG, talk about over the top.
The used to have something on thesmokinggun.com that listed all the stuff her and her husband bought and all the parties they had and so on and so on. They spent mad money like it was going out of style.

I'm kind of worried about Valerie. I read an article that she is helping her boyfriend pay off his child support backlog and she bought him a store. He sounds like a big loser to me. She doesn't seem to pick very good guys. Add the domestic abuse into it and he sucks.

[Elvira]

^That doesn't sound good Palermo. Her boyfriend looks a little sinister in
that Enquirer photo.
