Valerie Bertinelli: Before And After
March 3rd, 2008 by Rian | Filed under Celebrity Diets, Miscellaneous Celebrities, Before & After.Valerie Bertinelli has been making the news a lot lately, mostly due to her claims that she has lost 40 pounds on the Jenny Craig diet plan since last summer. Now she has a new book that recently hit shelves, called “Losing It” which chronicles her life and ups and downs in weight.
Here is a great before and after comparison. Keep in mind that Valerie reportedly joined Jenny Craig sometime in mid-spring of 2007, so this “before” picture is more of a “work in progress” picture.
She looks great! Granted, the photos don’t show a HUGE change… perhaps 15 pounds or so? She must have lost most of the weight the first couple of months she was on the plan.
Here is another picture of Valerie at a B&N in Los Angeles this past Saturday:

I don’t see any difference. Looks like she just had a makeover…
Maybe Jenny Craig does not work. Let us see how the Queen does.
she looks the same…
well, no, she has lost in the face
She looks a lot slimmer pictured on the cover of the book. (surely it couldn’t be….photoshopped?!?! Gasp!)
I cannot see a 40 pound difference between her two real-life photos. Arms are still a little soft, and thighs don’t show much of a change. Notice how broad her shoulders look on the book cover, compared to her shoulders in the brown top.
That is not her before pic. She was a LOT heavier.
She looks horrible. Plus, she’s as idiot.
What’s up with her nose before and after??
She looks normal. I mean I am happy she is no longer obese, but she is by no means slim.
She’s just so darn cute - especially for her age. She looks great, even if she’s not the skinniest lady out there.
they prob. photoshopped her for the cover of her book. that’s lame.
Yea, the book cover was photoshopped.
i cant really tell a big difference in the before and after up there! her book cover looks photoshopped..it wouldnt surprise me! for some reason kirstie was my favorite jenny craig spokes-model.
she still looks the same to me.
Jenny Craig system must be crap.
Why are people still buying those little tiny, over priced meals?
It didn’t work for Monica Lewinsky or Kirstie Alley.
Valerie really wanted to get back in the spot since Wolfie decided to go on tour with Eddie.
She holds her photo shopped book in front of herself because she is hiding something. Quit frankly, I don’t care what she is hiding. All of Jenny Craig’s spoke person’s have re-gained the weight back!
Queen Latifa walking around touting 10 percent weight loss as a goal is not selling me either. She needs to lose more than 10 percent off that frame. She is touting that because she and Jenny Craig know that she want loose more that that because she has no power over her food consumption.
She looks to have lost about 15 lbs MAYBE 20. According to these pics I don’t believe 40 lbs for one single second!
And that book pic is the biggest crock of shit I’ve ever seen–is she serious?!?
I don’t see ANY weight loss, except on the cover of that book. If I were signing my own book, in which I looked very thin and a tad Jessica Alba-ish, I would have on two pair of Spanx like Nicole Richie, lol.
^^^I see your frustration with 10% wieght loss. But everyone has to start somewhere, and for a 200 lb person, that’s 20 lbs, which is a lot of weight.
(^^^= for Politia)
She looks almost exactly the same…………I don’t see much of a weight loss.
Valerie Bertinelli is so awesome. She was totally my idol when I was a little girl. And if you watch the reruns of One Day at a Time, you can see that she’s still as beautiful as she was when she was 15. She’s just gorgeous. I love her. As for Jenny Craig. Jenny Craig sucks. I hope that people don’t buy into it. It’s gross processed fake food.
I don’t see a huge difference. Her face looks slimmer though. Maybe the jeans make her look thicker than she is…
She’s sooo pretty. In these pictures I don’t see any difference in her weight, but Rian did say the “Before” pic was when she was in the middle of progress. I remember in the commercials of her “before and after” there was definitely a noticeable difference.
I don’t think she ever weighed 200 pounds as the poster above stated…did she?
She’s 5′2″ — what do you all think she weighs in those pics?
She looks okay. In my opinion, she still carrying some excess weight, but nothing major.
chubby cheeks?
I used to love her; now I can’t stand her. I am so grossed out by people who blab every intimate detail of their lives like she did. Is nothing sacred? Blech.
@ Danielle
I agree, the pic on the left is not her before. She was way heavier than that when she first started the program. I think she looks great.
Yeah, she probably lost a lot of it early on. Not too much lost btwn july and now, but good to see that she maintained the weight loss.
oh right, lewinsky was on that diet too. Yeah, really didn’t work for her. Saw her not long ago and she is as big as a house.
She doesn’t look 40 lbs lighter in the second pic; maybe 15 or so. I’m pretty sure she lost the majority of her weight at the beginning of the whole JC thing, but I STILL think she only lost a grand total of like, 30 lbs max on the program.
And as far as Queen Latifah wanting to lose 10% of her body weight, I have a question for you gals: Have any of you ever BEEN that overweight before? I used to be really fat and when I decided to lose weight for good, I set smaller goals so it wouldn’t be so impossible sounding. To me, if I told myself I wanted to lose 10 lbs before X date, that was a lot easier sounding than “I have to lose 80 lbs”. I eventually did lose all the weight (all 85 lbs) and have kept it off for 7 years now. Sometimes going really slowly is the best way to drop a lot of weight. But if Queen Latifah is gonna use JC to lose ALL the weight, she is going to be spending a small fortune. It’ll take her at least a year to drop it all.
She was much heavier than the before picture here. Most people lose the majority of the weight in the beginning phase.
She’s at a healthy weight - I hope she doesn’t gain in all back.
I love her hair — it’s always looked so healthy.
Barb, you’ll be disappointed… I remember VB spilled out on Oprah’s: “These hair is not even mine!”
i really do not see a difference.
Truth is her outfit in the July pic is so much more flattering than in the more recent one. The V-neck elongates her neck and the solid dark color makes her look slimmer. She needs a trip to What Not to Wear!
She looked awesome on Oprah.
frankly my dear i dont give a damn
who the hell is she? she looks the same in both pictures.
She looks cute, and she said she started at 170 lbs. and is now 132 lbs. Good for her. That said, she also looks a lot better in the face. I doubt it is just the weight loss. I wonder if she had “other” work. And she’s not dumb.
She looks exactly the same except with makeup…
Um I don’t see a change at all…maybe the black was just that slimming but mostly I think she just has better hair and make-up now
I don’t see a difference… if anything I think she looks a few lbs slimmer in the before photo. ???
I don’t see any change at all.
well… i don’t know how much weight she lost, but i can say that i saw her at the grocery store on sunday and she looked really good. she isnt a bone-thin stick, but she looks to be at a really good weight for body. she looked fit in my opinion.
she looks about the same to me.
I feel a little bit ashamed that I do not have a clue who this moon faced mini bear is
yeah there isn’t a lot of difference in these pictures - obviously with the Jenny Craig ad campaign, you can see more of the weight loss - she claims she lost 40 pounds, but she didn’t seem that overweight to begin with - maybe she hides it well? - either way congratulations on your weight loss and revived “career”
She has improved, but has a way to go in my opinion.
Ummm, what´s this about? As in first of all, who the heck is this woman anyway, and second of all - on what planet has she lost 40 lbs between the two pictures?! Not on ours, that´s for sure!
I quite prefer her in the first pic anyway, more figure flattering clothes! The only better thing in the latter photo is her hair which looks like a rag in the first pic…
Is it strange that I think she looked better in the before picture. Yeah shes a couple extra pounds buy she has hips. In the second picture, she looks like her waist and hips are the same measurement. Not womanly
Whats jenny Craig anyway ?
She actually looks thinner in the before picture I think… but there’s barely even a difference
Rian - please can you post a photo before she started losing the pounds? Like when she was at her biggest?
don´t seen any difference.
she looks horrid and i bet she is a whole of a attentionseeker.
make her go away..
She looks gorgeous and as stated that is not a starting picture. She looks fabulous and tiny on Oprah the other day. I think she looks wonderful. She’s not trying to be a stick thin model!
she looks thinner in the before photo…
She looks EXACTLY THE SAME!
she looks the same before and after.. the only person who looks thinner is that photoshopped version of her on the book cover!!
I don’t see that much of a difference in those pictures.
I think she almost looks bigger in the after shot! Not very inspiring…
looks the same except for the nose
If she’s 5′2 she looks around 140 lbs at the lightest in the pics above. She lost 40 lbs only if started out around 180 lbs. Maybe she lost only
25 and claimed to lose 40. Kirsty Allie did the same thing and Queen Latifah will do the same.
I would like to know who is the designer for the clothes Valerie is wearing on her bookcover and where can they be purchased? I love the blouse.
she’s so cute. she looks like a doll
She’s very cute! But in the cover of her book she looks thinner as when she’s holding it!
