Everyone knows who Jenny Craig is. She started her program back in 1983 and it has soared to dynamic proportions. Her weight loss program has featured success stories from well-known people, such as Phylicia Rashad, Valerie Bertinelli, Kirstie Alley, and Queen Latifah. Jenny followers credit her success with her focus not on dieting, but rather her philosophy as a lifestyle change.

Queen Latifah to Join Jenny Craig

Posted on by

I love Queen Latifah. She’s a bold, proud, strong woman who makes no excuses for her plus sized body and has always been secure in her voluptuousness. Regardless of her size, you could always count on seeing this diva in drop dead gorgeous dresses that fit perfectly when she strolled down a red carpet. There were never any mu-mus for this lady. She’s got curves and she’s not afraid to show them off. Personally, I can’t think of a better role model for young girls today, regardless of their color or lack thereof. Latifah’s mama taught her what we should … Continue reading →

Kudos to Valerie!

Recently Valerie Bertinelli was shown on a magazine cover sporting a bikini and she looks fantastic! Two years ago Valerie weighed 172 pounds. She is 5’4” and was 40 pounds heavier than what she felt was ideal for her. Valerie owes this weight loss to hard work through exercising and dieting. She used the Jenny Craig method and lost the weight. She got down to her goal of 132 pounds. To get fit she walked 10,000 steps every day. She then hired a personal trainer to help her get in shape for a bikini, which she had not worn in … Continue reading →

According to reports, Phylicia Rashad is the latest actress to be plucked out of calorie-conscious Hollywood and named spokeswoman for Jenny Craig. Rashad, who is best know for her role as Bill Cosby’s on-screen wife, Clair on “The Cosby Show,” joins the Jenny Craig all-star sorority, which already includes stars such as Queen Latifah, Kirstie Alley and Bertinelli. The 60-year-old, who in my opinion looks great just the way she is, won’t officially become the new bod of Jenny Craig until next month. January … Continue reading →

High Blood Pressure and Dieting

Posted on by

“I have high blood pressure. What diet can I do so that I can lose weight safely?” First, let me say that I am not a doctor, nor do I play one on TV. (I did not stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night either.) I suggest you discuss this with your doctor before trying any weight loss program. Of course, many people with high blood pressure have it as a side effect of being overweight and any doctor treating you for high blood pressure would be thrilled to help you find a diet program that is right for … Continue reading →

Rapper turned actress Queen Latifah has become the latest star to release a new fragrance line. (Actually, her perfume won’t be in stores until next year.) I know. I know. Another celeb, another scent to be doused with as you make your way through the cosmetics department at Macy’s. The reason I decided to blog about Queen Latifah’s fragrance launch is because I was intrigued by her response to the question: “Why add one more perfume to an … Continue reading →
