Valerie Bertinelli talks about her 40-pound weight loss

Valerie used to weigh 172 pounds at 5?4?. Now, as a Jenny Craig spokeswoman, she is 40 pounds lighter and wants to share her story with the world:

“I dont remember a time when I didn’t struggle, though Hollywood made it worse. ..I used to get so mad about my hips. Now I appreciate them- they brought Wolfie [her son] into the world. Even when I got really thin, though, I never had an eating disorder. Well, at one point I may have been a little anorexic-I’d go on these super-restrictive diets.”

Here is Valerie’s typical workout routine:

“It’ll either be the elliptical or the treadmill, and for the very first time, last week I went jogging. Three and a half miles. It’s the first time I moved my legs that far in 20 years. And because I lost weight my knees didn’t hurt, though my thighs were killing me. But still, I thought, I can do this now!”

As you may know, Valerie Bertinelli wrote a book about her struggle with weight, that has quickly become a bestseller. You can buy “Losing It: And Gaining My Life Back One Pound at a Time” from Amazon.
