TV star Nicole Sullivan has just proved she’s ‘fit’ to be the new brand ambassador of the Jenny Craig Weight Loss program – the King of Queens comedienne lost 35 pounds in 16 weeks.
That’s great for the lovely mother of two, who’s appearing in this week’s issue of PEOPLE magazine in a bikini.
Sullivan, 40, who approached Jenny Craig after the birth of her second child, said she “forgot how to eat” once in the weight loss program.
“When you are a mom, it’s all about giving, giving, giving,” Sullivan says.
“Your kids come first. And if you’re a working mom like me, your job, your husband, everything else seems to come first before yourself,” she adds.
“The problem is you need to feed yourself emotionally and just don’t have time to worry about food. I literally went on a starvation diet after my first pregnancy to get ready for a movie. I was crabby all the time. I’m constantly surrounded by temptation when I’m on the set. Just once, I wish I knew what would be a good option to choose.”
“I think it’s about time that women stop being mad at themselves and fight the fight together,” Sullivan shares her thoughts.
“I hope along this journey that I can share the wisdom I learn from Jenny Craig with all of you. I’m ready for a plan that is going to fuel my body, my mind, my soul. I’m really excited about having a consultant to help me each week. I want to look good, feel good, and slip into my favorite jeans! And losing weight the healthy way is going to empower me to have better relationships with my family.”
“GO, hot mamas!” Sullivan cheers.

“This is about me picking something that I know works for me,” said Judd, 44, about the FDA-approved drug. “I can still plan [my work] and not feel like Alli is dictating my life as I have in the past on other programs.”
Judd clearly intends to be an inspiration for her fans as well as those who are battling weight, and sends the message that she’s been there.
“I hope people will be inspired by the fact that I’ve overcome a lot, I’m still here and it’s a miracle,” she added. “I don’t have diet goals. My goals are to live as happy and healthy as I can. People can see themselves in me and say, ‘You know what? If she can do it, I can do it.’ ”
So if you’re already struggling with your lose-50-lbs-by-June New Year resolution, don’t lose heart. Wynonna’s commercials might just reinvigorate your program.

Former Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Rachel Hunter is the new face of weight-loss brand Slim-Fast.
The company has announced that Hunter, 37, will appear as part of a campaign called “Find your Slim,” which features women representing “real body shapes and sizes with messages such as, ‘We believe in hips, not hip bones’”.
“I have always tried to be my own person and live up to my own definition of an ideal size that feels right for me and for my body. When I heard about the ‘Find your Slim’ campaign, I thought it was refreshing for a weight loss company to deliver a message that was empowering—it’s freeing to be encouraged to set and achieve your own personal weight loss goal,” said Hunter. “That was a message I wanted to help spread.”
However, Contactmusic.com reports that when the 37-year old ex-wife of rock star Rod Stewart was was approached for the campaign, she said, “Wow, what’s wrong with me? Do I look fat?”
Well, looking at Rachel’s SI pictures, I’m kinda starting to believe in hips, too.
