Bertinelli Taking Weight Loss One Day at a Time
Call Schneider! He'll fix it!
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!

Like I care!!
I hope she stays fat!!
Who here cares about her losing weight??
Why does she think we care??
loved her on "one day at a time" & she has done some good "Lifetime" movies. Fat or thin, I don't care.
She isn't really fat, shes somewhat over her ideal wieght, but it's insane to think that people like the olson twins are some sort of ideal for what to look like. And she's still beautiful, how many look like this at 47 years old?
Totally! She IS beautiful! And if she wasn't wearing such an unflattering shirt on the cover, I doubt she would even look that overweight. The average size is a 14. AVERAGE. What does this say to all those women except..."Hey...you're not good enough."
VERY EXCITING! I think it's great that Valerie wants to be at a healthy weight! You go girl!
Valerie Bertinelli was in my city 2 years ago making a TV movie. there were reports then that she was fat. Saw her at the coffee shop by my office and she looked adorable. jeans and a t-shirt, tucked in. flat tummy, not fat but a regular sized girl. I was shocked because I had been reading about how big she was. she may be a bit bigger since then but she is certainly not fat! for pete's sake she's 47. anyway I wish her every success if she feels she needs to drop 30 lbs.
I think she's hot fat. Bigger boobs.
Kirstie Ally was fat. Valerie Bertinelli is not fat--she's not skinny, but not fat.
Her husband divorced her for gross neglect.
Dear âOh Pleaseâ,
I doubt anyone cares about your smart @ss comments!
Itâs time you Suck-It-Up and accept the facts!
Val has and always been. . . And will always be. . . America's Sweetheart!
We love you Val! Best of luck!
I think she looks beautiful in this picture, but COME ON FOLKS, she is clearly FAT! Just because you look beautiful does NOT mean you are healthy.
I say Kudos to her, for keeping it real.
Personally, I think Valerie looks fine as she is right now. She looked darn near anorexic back in the 70s. It doesn't help that she was put in unflattering clothes on the cover of the magazine. Enough of the anti-fat propoganda already! FACT: the average American woman wears a size 14...and YES you can be large and healthy. That is the message Ms. Bertinelli and others should be giving to American women and girls, NOT buying into the propoganda that only the size 0 stick figure supermodel is acceptable or has a right to a happy life full of love!

She says she wants to lose 30 pounds to get to a size 8, and right now, she claims she's a size 14. DO THE MATH PEOPLE...it's approx 10 pounds per dress size, so she really has to lose more than 30 pounds to get to her goal of a size 8. It's more like 60 pounds she has to lose by her goal month of September, but she isn't disclosing that. To me, she looks more like a size 16 or 18. And isn't it interesting how it looks as though her face stayed on the thinner side and the rest of her body got larger? I think she had some face and chin work done already, but is choosing to keep quiet about that.
Valerie and I are both 47 ! I think she looks great but could stand to drop a few pounds. Why do middle aged woman get so much flack for wanting to have a nice figure? Why are woman of this age suppose to be larger? If nothing else she should do it for her health.
Life happens ... Even the stars metabolisms slow down I guess . I think she still looks beautiful and she'll be really HOT when she slims down alittle.
No pressure having to slim down in front of the world !!!!! I would only hope that the public is not as cruel to her with negative comments like they were to Kirstie. How many 50 something woman do you see in real life that look that good ?
Good for you valerie... I hope you achieve your goal, and do yourself a favor and do not listen to the negative feed back that you know people are going to give... God Bless you and your family
Val's son Wolfie needs to follow in his moms footsteps with JC. He looks pretty unhealthy/obese for a kid his age!
All you bitter woman and your comments , like, "I hope she stays fat", and "Like we care". One is bitter and obviously a *@&%!, and as for the other, you cared enough to be reading about famous people. Maybe you just don't have anything nice to say? Didn't mommy teach you anything
2 dumbs up for Val...I think she might be trying to set an example for her son.
How can she preach it if she doesnt walk the line herself. Way to go Val good luck.. lose weight in a healthy way and feel good about yourself.
