Valerie Bertinelli | Jenny Craig Program | Lost: 50 lbs

An acting career was always included in Valerie Bertinelli’s career choices. Along with finishing her high-school studies, Valerie also took classes at the Tami Lynn School of Artists. Not long after, Valerie received her first acting gig, appearing in an episode of Apple’s Way, followed by a more prominent part in the at-the-time new series, One Day at a Time – she was only 15 years old when it finally premiered.

Since then, the actress has also taken credit for starring in Hot in Cleveland, Touched by an Angel, and hosting Valerie’s Home Cooking and Kids Baking Championship. Around 2007, however, Valerie noticed she was at 172 pounds and decided to do something about it. With some help from the weight management and nutrition company Jenny Craig, the actress lost an impressive 50 pounds and has since maintained a more active way of living – in fact, she even ran in 2010’s Boston Marathon!
