Valerie Bertinelli has been candid about her weight loss journey, including losing over 40 pounds on Jenny Craig, RadarOnline.com can report.
The former child star began her weight-loss journey when she followed Dry January, which kept her from drinking alcohol for the month.
"These jeans that I'm wearing were so tight a few months ago that I couldn't comfortably button them. Now, they're so loose it's time for me to go down a size," she revealed in a TikTok post after completing the challenge. "Yeah, I like that side effect."
Hot in Red

Bertinelli has been sharing more bikini photos amid her successful weight-loss journey.
Bertinelli was all smiles in a sizzling bikini photo that set social media abuzz.
On April 30, the 65-year-old One Day at a Time alum had fans raving after she posed in a red two-piece bikini during golden hour.
"My pool is 66 degrees. Now, for a cold plunge that's relatively warm. (That's what they say, whoever they are). But along with everything else I've been experimenting with, this has helped improve my mood, has reduced inflammation, and it's easier than filling my bath up with ice cubes," Bertinelli captioned the upload.
Looking Better Than Ever

Bertinelli shocked fans with her toned figure.
Bertinelli displayed her age-defying beauty in a December 2024 mirror selfie, posing in a black bra top and matching low-rise underwear with white trim.
"At some point, I will talk about the madness my body has been through this year," she captioned the post. "But right now every lump bump, wrinkle and saggy part of me just feels acceptance and simple appreciation to be standing in front of a mirror in a hotel bathroom in downtown Manhattan ready to color my roots late on a Monday night."
Embracing Summer

She has successfully maintained her physique over the past few years.
The Touched by an Angel actress flaunted her summer vibes with a poolside photo in August 2024. She completed the bikini look with a wide-brimmed sun hat and round-framed sunglasses.
"August 11. The last dog day of summer. I have spent 64 years not knowing what that actually meant, so I looked it up," said Bertinelli.
She added in the caption: "It has nothing to do with dogs and everything to do with Sirius, the dog star. The dog days of summer are the 20 days before and the 20 days after Sirius has become visible in the east when the sky is still dark right before sunrise. And it's hot as f---. Anyway, this is me waiting patiently for the fall equinox."
Age Is Just a Number for Bertinelli

Bertinelli has been open about her weight-loss journey
In a February 2024 throwback post, Bertinelli shared a powerful message with her fans amid her wellness journey.
"2014 #tbt This is a 150lb body on a 5'4 frame. I don't weigh myself anymore because this is considered overweight by whose standards I don't know. It's stupid, and I believed them for far too long. I now, finally, know that I am a kind, considerate, funny, thoughtful woman.
"So please remember, who you are and what your character is, should never be overshadowed by what size you are or how much you weigh. You are enough. Just the way you are. F--- 'em," she shared in the caption of the photos, which showed her wearing a purple bikini.
