Former child actress Valerie Bertinelli won the battle against extra weight, losing 50 pounds with the help of Jenny Craig. She has maintained the healthy weight for almost a year now and she decided she wanted to show off the World her new hot body.
She prepared for the photo shoot with intensive cardio and strength training workout. The results speak for themselves, and she is another example that you can be fit if you put the commitment and effort. Valerie Bertinelli bikini photos are making the rounds on the Web.
The night before Valerie Bertinelli prepared to step out in public wearing a bikini � for the first time in nearly 30 years! � she found herself unable to sleep. As her mind raced with insecurity (�I thought, Am I really going to do this? Can I pull this off?� the actress admits), Bertinelli tried to summon up a pep talk, telling herself, �What am I so afraid of? Come on � it�s just a bathing suit!�
And yet as any woman knows, those innocent-looking strips of Lycra can be a terrifying sight � especially for someone just shy of her 49th birthday (April 23), who only two years ago tipped the scales at 172 lbs. � more than 40 lbs. over her goal weight for her 5'4? frame. But after whittling herself down to 132 lbs. in about 9 months on Jenny Craig (for whom she serves as a company spokeswoman), Valerie Bertinelli, who had last worn a bikini when she was 20, was ready for a new challenge.
Valerie will also be appearing in Oprah on April 1 � let�s hope she brings her bikini!
