Bertinelli Taking Weight Loss One Day at a Time

I was just talking to someone about Valerie Bertinelli, who played supercute Barbara Cooper on One Day at a Time. All the guys loved her... and the girls wanted to look like her with her perfect hair, complexion and smile.

Whelp, Val's a different gal these days -- a little larger -- and now she's waging a battle against her bulge by becoming the new Jenny Craig spokesperson... and appearing on the cover of People this week to talk about it.

Like Kirstie Alley before her, 5'2" Val, who turns 47 this month, is vowing to lose some lbs. 30 of 'em. By September.

"I need to do this in front of millions of people so I can't mess up," says the new pitchwoman.

Good luck, Val. We're pulling for ya!
