Valerie shed 40 pounds in 9 months by limiting her intake of high calorie foods and walking 10,000 steps a day. In April 2010, Val completed the 26.2-mile Boston Marathon in 5 hours and 14 minutes. "I feel euphoric!" she exclaimed after crossing the finish line. (Photo/People)

- Bertinell, 50, says she is now in the best shape of her life. "I never, ever, ever had deltoids! she says. "Oh my God, when I'm doing exercises and I see them pop out, I'm like, Yes!" (Photo/People)
- Val says she hates the first 20 minutes of her running workout and has to keep her cravings in check while grocery shopping no sourdough toast or her favorite sweets, Hot Tamales. "So when I'm in the supermarket and I think, 'God, I really want those,' I'll remind myself that in two days when I have a weak moment, I'll go straight for them. So there are certain things I just won't by.' (Photo/People)
- Before Bertinelli poses for this April 2009 bikini cover, she hadn't worn a bikini in almost 30 years. 'My body] is not one of those perfect bodies you see in Hollywood, where everyone is a double size 0," says Valerie, who's now a size 6. "But I'm happy. I feel really good for my age." (Photo/People)

It's especially, not ESPECAILLY! If you feel the need to criticize other comments maybe you should take a spelling class or use your spell check. Just saying.
she rocks- such an inspiration
ringa ding ding
She's hot!
I admire Valerie B for being so open about what she's going through. She seems to be gaining weight. The clothes she's wearing on her new show seem to be for hiding weight, not accentuating a fit physique. I struggle with weight gain and loss, too, so I'm not criticizing, but I just hope she's really dealing with it and doesn't end up like so many other JC spokespeople who put the weight back on.

She just the woman everyone else want to be!
Although I applaud Valerie for improving her health by losing weight, it was just one of the things she did to pick herself up and improve her life. When I read about her, it's the positive reinforcement she gives to women (and men) to have goals, restructure your life and focus on them, and reach them.
The weight part is a small part of it. She could have done all the above without losing weight or being tan.
bravo valerie
What an awesome weight goal and you made it. That is so great!
Valerie is one of my favorite tv people and she looks great for her age.
Valerie Bertinelli looks so much younger than her age. Thanks to the weight loss, baby face, and great skin, she still looks about 30 to 35 in good health. I agree that she seems to go up and down in the weight department. I suspect its body type and maybe JC is still too high in carbs. Protein based diets work best for long-term weight maintenance.
Foxy lady, I have her book on CD.
it is not nice to judge anyone. i'd watched her show and i think that she is great and i think it's great that she lost weight at she is taking care of herself.
To the Anonymous that criticized another person's spelling. If you are going to criticize someone's spelling, you should use proper punctuation.
