Weight Watchers is sexing up their appeal featuring Jenny McCarthy in advertisements. Some people might struggle with the Playboy centerfold being a weight loss spokesperson and not some midwestern housewife, but those who are fans of Jenny know she's the real deal.
Early on in my public relations career, I worked in the PR department at Weight Watchers International. I was thrilled when word had broke that Jenny had attended Weight Watchers meetings and lost all of her baby weight on the program. I prayed I'd get to work with Jenny, but unfortunately celebrity contracts take forever and by the time it closed I had moved on. I've heard many people bashing Jenny saying that "she was never fat" but photographs don't lie and I've personally seen the pictures of her when she was nearly 200 lbs. and yes she was certainly heavy to say the least. However, SHE WAS PREGNANT and should be heavy.
All and all, I say good for you Jenny. She lost weight naturally and not overnight. It took her 6 months to do it and is making and an old diet new again. Most young women look at Weight Watchers as an old fashioned "mom" diet, but it's truly not. Its a lifestyle change based on scientific research and works wonders if you do it correctly. No pills, no gimics, just eat healthy and exercise. Way to go Jenny for spreading a good message.
