Valerie Bertinelli shows off her bikini body on the cover of People Magazine

Most of probably remember Valerie Bertinelli as a washed up soap star, but now she's showing off her bikini body on the cover of People Magazine for her 49th birthday! 


The editor for People magazine was on The Today Show this morning showing off the bikini clad cover.  She said, "Bertinelli admits though that it's hard work and she feels like she's just a jalapeno popper from being 40 lbs overweight again."



Valerie Bertinelli, best known for her 1975-84 sitcom One Day at a Time, was named the new face for Jenny Craig in 2007.  Measuring in at 5'2" and size 14, Bertinelli at the time she was named was about to turn age 47.  She initially pledged to lose 30 lbs. by September 2007, but has since lost 40!  She said that going public with her goal was the motivation she needed.   "I need to do this in front of millions of people so I can't mess up."



After reaching her initial goal, Valerie stuck with the program and said she wanted to get back her bikini body by her 49th birthday.  She achieved her goal and this week you can get a glimpse of her vamped up exercise routine to get there.  When it comes out on stands, I'll post her workout here for you all to check out!  



But until then, here is what I've got: Valerie has been working out 5 days a week for at least an hour for the last 3 months.  She mixes things up with cardio and weight training exercises.  She said, taking it off in front of the camera was a fear she wanted to overcome


Check out other celebrity body transformations and weight loss stories!


I think Valerie is an excellent role model for women who think that it's not possible to ever get back that body they once had back in their twenties or thirties.  Clearly, she has proven that you are never too old to wear a bikini as long as you have confidence.  Accountability is also a great motivational factor that you can steal from Valerie.  She will also appear on Oprah April 1st.



If you are inspired by Valerie's accomplishments, here is a beginners fat burning move that will help you get started and figure out where you are at, fitness level wise.  This is one of the most dreaded moves a trainer can throw at you, but with the beginner version, you'll be ready to face the challenge in no time.

St Patrick's Day Green Recipes

If you are vegetarian or are watching your sodium intake, for a fun new twist to an old favorite try adding in some green side dishes featuring nutrient dense leafy greens like kale, collard greens or bok choy.

These dishes can be intimidating since many have no idea how to prepare them. First, you should wash off the greens and then pull them off the rinds of the leaves creating bite size pieces.

Kelly Clarkson: Fat, Pregnant, or Normal?


Kelly Clarkson performed her newest single last night on American Idol and this morning rumors are swirling that she is pregnant.  Haven't we been down this path before?  She is not pregnant, and she's not fat.  She's just a little bigger boned and I think it's great!  She is an excellent role model for young girls. 


Kelly Clarkson has always had a bit of bigger build than typical Hollywood starlets.  She recently told Extra or Access Hollywood (I can't remember) that she's always been about the same size.  When reports or pictures surface that she has gained weight, Clarkson says it depends on the outfit she's wearing and camera angle.


Sound familiar?  Not too long ago, Jessica Simpson has a similar mishap with a pair of "mom jeans" at a chili fest.  Not even a week later, it looked as if the weight had fallen off.


I feel that the main reason when people see Kelly in concert photos or performing live on TV like last night and they think she has gained weight, it's because they are so used to seeing her in magazines where she is always photoshopped to look much thinner than she actually is!  For example, she appeared grossly retouched in this Glamour cover from 2007.


She's not pregnant people, she's just naturally curvier!  She was quoted on Extra (or Access Hollywood) saying, "I don't know who this girl is, but damn does she look good," when looking at her own magazine spread.  


The two most famous idols are arguably Kelly and Carrie Underwood.  Both lost a significant amount of weight after they won their titles.  Us weekly covered their weight loss back in December of 2006.  So what does Kelly Clarkson do to keep in shape?  Last I heard, Clarkson was an avid runner. She reportedly used to run for like an hour every morning! That is until she began touring and no longer had the time. During the summer of 2006 Kelly landed a deal with Vitamin Water (weird because Underwood is the new spokeswoman).  Clarkson did gain some weight but then Vitamin water reportedly requested she lose the weight before representing their sugar loaded "health" product.  She lost that weight cutting out sugary drinks cold turkey. Sounds like she just stopped drinking her sponsor. 


I wonder if my body "idol" Carrie Underwood will gain a few pounds now that she's representing Vitamin Water? Hmmmm... What do you think about Clarkson?  Does she gain weight or do you believe her when she says it depends on what she is wearing?
