Carrie's Weight Loss
TFN linked to this bit on how Carrie Fisher's run on Jenny Craig is coming along. Honestly, this is the best she's looked in years:

At Celebration V, I knew she'd gained a lot of weight since I last saw her in person and she wasn't thin back then either; this explains why. It brings to mind what was said about Carrie not taking care of herself in "The Making Of The Empire Strikes Back." I guess when she's busy working, she doesn't look after herself too well. Regular soda is full of sugar and empty calories and protein bars are fine as long as you eat one in place of a meal and you go work out, or you go bike for a few miles. Those suckers have a lot of calories. You're better off eating real food instead.
My opinion of these weight loss programs is that any one of them can work if you can stick with it and you like it. No matter what you pick there's still an element of willpower and discipline. The second trick is maintaining your weight when you get to your goal. (Ask Kirstie Alley and Valerie Bertinelli.)
Anyway, so far so good.

Jenny Craig worked for Kirstie Alley, but the maintaining thing didn't go so well. Valerie Bertinelli has managed to keep it off for a year or more.
Tina "Family Ties" Yothers got quite a bit of attention for her weight loss, but then when I saw a recent "reunion" picture of the cast, I noticed she'd gotten heavy again. Still, she looked better than her (thin) ex-co-star Justine Bateman.
