Wow, has anyone seen the smokin’ hot pictures of Valerie Bertinelli on the cover of People magazine? Valerie’s been one of my favorite women who’ve I’ve always felt was very attractive. But who would have thought that at the age of 48, a 172 pound actress would drop 49 pounds in 9 months and pose in a Bikini on the front of a National Publication? I didn’t, but I’m glad she did!

They should have her on The Biggest Loser as a guest celebrity. Of course, they wouldn’t want her telling everyone that she lost 40 pounds on Jenny Craig…no…no…no!

According to published stories, she lost an additional 9 pounds by working out more (1 hour 4 to 5 times a day) and cutting her daily calories from 1700 to 1200. Now that’s how to lose weight!

It looks like Valerie had the same problem many of us live with. We eat to comfort ourselves. Instead, Ms. Bertinelli has learned to use food to nourish her body instead of using food as a “friend”. Good going Valerie!

She’ll be on Oprah next week. I’m guessing that she’ll be telling her story and pushing Jenny Craig. If you haven’t looked Valerie Bertinelli’s hot bikini pics up yet, I’d suggest you get yourself a copy of People magazine!
