Jenny Craig Totally Worked For Jason Alexander

Back in January, Jason Alexander became the new Jenny Craig spokesperson.  He’s lost 30 pounds, and judging by the video above, he’s pretty happy with those results.  I just wish every celebrity who loses weight would celebrate with a flashy song and dance number.

Alexander sings Jenny Craig’s praises all over his weight loss blog:

The Jenny Craig program is not a hard program. But it does take a committed person to reach success. Every day you are doing this work, working toward your goal — you are showing yourself and the world what real commitment is all about.

He also gives advice to people in the process of losing weight:

Look at yourself. You look better. You feel better. Not perfect! Not there! – But better. And that is the right direction. Nobody did this to us. This is not a world conspiracy. We got ourselves to the place where we needed to make this change for our lives. And ultimately, we are responsible for making it right again. And we can.

Be selfish — no one else matters in this but you. You deserve your fullest life back. You deserve to be able to breathe deeply. You deserve to be able to walk as far and as fast as you want to walk — and to run if you wish. You deserve to be able to buy clothing from any store you walk into. You deserve quality foods to serve yourself — fresh, filled with flavors and nutrients and textures and color. You deserve to be proud of who you are — to revel in your strength of mind, body and character. You deserve to walk the streets and beaches feeling eyes on you and knowing you look strong and healthy. You are doing something that many, many people believe they cannot do or flat-out will not do.

What do you guys think about these kinds of diets?  Is it helpful to have a weight loss program or should you just eat healthy food and work out more?  Does it feel weird to see Jason Alexander look pretty all right in spandex?

  • I had an old boss who lost 85 pounds from Weight Watchers at Work. She really needed the support group to motivate her. I think Weight Watchers is different because it is supposed to be a lifestyle change.

    Anywhoo, she gained all the weight back within 2 years. But, at least she tried. It’s better to try and fail than never to try at all.

  • Weight Watchers is good for some people but the same principles apply to any weight loss, you need to make life long lifestyle changes to keep the weight off and stay healthy.

    That website has everything you need to know about how to eat properly. Mark Sisson changed my life because the information we are fed through Conventional Wisdom isn’t always accurate. Give it a look and you’ll realize why it is so difficult losing weight normally.

  • This is too easy. Just revisit all the former shills for this diet and take a look at how much they weigh (cough, cough Kirstie Alley, cough) .
    Stomach stapling isn’t much better judging by people like Carnie Wilson and Harry (Ain’t it Cool) Knowles.
    Lifestyle, therapists (in certain cases) and willpower – not easy but that’s the way to go.

  • That little fat fucker’s hair looks like a map of the U.S. His side burn is the fuckin’ FLA.
