Valerie Bertinelli is flaunting her transformative weight loss like never before — and the world is taking notice.
Lately, the actress set the internet abuzz with radiant bikini photos that ooze confidence on Instagram. Beaming for the camera, she's not just showing off her hard-earned weight loss progress — she's inspiring countless others to embrace their own journeys.
"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 shared.
Valerie Bertinelli frequently flaunts her bikini body on social media.
The starlet, who bravely opened up in her memoir Enough Already, is living proof that embracing change can lead to extraordinary results.
After years of battling her body image, Bertinelli took to social media in December 2024 to share a revealing underwear selfie, proudly noting she "wasn't mad" about her toned abs at 64 years old.
The actress stripped down to her underwear in 2024.
"Like all those, you know, planks and sit-ups I've done, you can see underneath the saggy skin," she quipped.
In 2024, Bertinelli also posted a throwback photo wherein she lambasted weight standards, saying she doesn't weigh herself anymore after she was told that 150 lb was "considered overweight."
"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 said.
