Believe it or not, soap actress Valerie Bertinelli managed to lose 172 pounds! Before Bertinelli took matters into her hands to remedy her weight issues, it was a hot gossip topic for all soap following media outlets. So, the actress decided to do something about it!
In the end, Bertinelli opted for a traditional, and effective, plan of action to lose the extra pounds. “My dieting philosophy is, you never have to give up anything completely. If there’s something you really like, you’ll always be pining for it. Then, if it’s put in front of you, you’ll go crazy for it,” she said. “Let’s face it, any diet is going to be prohibitive in some way, so you have to enjoy the process and the progress, and not look at it as misery.”
