Valerie Bertinelli in a bikini

Valerie Bertinelli in a bikini is the latest cover of People magazine. So, what do you think, Valerie Bertinelli in a bikini – hot or overexposed? Sure, Valerie Bertinelli’s weight loss of about 50 pounds is a big deal, but how hard could it be to lose weight on Jenny Craig? Do not get me wrong; clearly, Valerie Bertinelli in a bikini looks superb for any age – given the fact that she is 48, she looks unbelievably great.

During the last three weeks that Bertinelli refers to as the bikini “homestretch” she trimmed her caloric intake to 1,200 from 1,700 and gave up her regular “splurge” of Champaign. She said, “It was crunch time – like getting ready for your class reunion.” She now says she’s in the best shape of her life. Bertinelli was ready for a challenge. She told People, “I thought, if I’m so afraid of a bikini, there’s something wrong. And so I had to get back into one.”

Valerie is best known for her role a Barbara on the long-running television series, One Day at a Time. She has also starred in Sydney and Touched by an Angel. Bertinelli was married to Eddie Van Halen and they have a son, Wolfgang. They divorced in 2007. Many of us find ourselves all in the same predicament: Spring is fastly approaching and we desperately want to drop that extra weight around our waist ... but not desperate enough to quit the lattes during the day and Mexican feasts in the evenings.
