Our Cheryl is looking trim, gorgeous and super fit in the latest TV ad! 35lbs is a lots of extra weight to carry around and Cheryl is over the moon to discover how much easier and enjoyable it is to go jogging in the park, without lugging all that extra weight around with her.

CONGRATULATIONS to our lovely Cheryl for completing her first ever marathon. We are all hugely proud of her for completing the London Marathon in great time - just over 5 hours! Sources here tell us that she still managed to look gorgeous as she crossed the finish line. Cheryl is still looking for sponsors as she is raising money for the charity close to her heart: Headfirst. If you would like to make a donation, you can still do so via the following link:

Well done girl!

Cheryl is running the London Marathon on Sunday 17^th April – the  first marathon of her life. Can you imagine that? Having lost all the weight with the Jenny Craig Programme has enabled her to do that. And now she needs your help. Cheryl is looking for sponsors as she is raising money for the charity close to her heart: Headfirst. If you want to support her, you can donate via the following link:

Best of luck, Cheryl! We wish you all the best!

Cheryl and the girls catch up with a cup of tea to talk about their experiences and success so far on Jenny Craig. Also introducing the incredibly cute baby Louie!

Cheryl was so happy to have reached her goal weight; she had no problem convincing her friends and family to join as well! In this latest ad, the ladies all caught up to enjoy and chat about some of their favourite food from Jenny Craig.

Jenny Craig celebrity client, Carrie Fisher will be making a rare appearance with her legendary mum, Debbie Reynolds on Oprah tonight. The Hollywood icon will be talking about the many ups and downs in her life, from drug addiction to suffering a mental breakdown and most recently, her public battle with her weight and how she is getting on with Jenny Craig!

Watch the preview video here:

Check out the slinky dress! To all of you who made a New Year's resolution but found it hard to diet alone, Cheryl advises you think of February as New Year Mark 2, and try again - this time with the help of a Jenny Craig consultant.

From Jenny Craig to Jedi Craig! Brave Carrie Fisher - who graced the wallpaper of many a teenaged bedroom - has just signed up to Jenny Craig! She wants to lose 40/50lbs and is already 11lbs down, go girl!

Hopefully she's going to be touring the UK this year with her one woman show 'Wishful Drinking' (!) so we'll get a chance to see in the flesh how Jenny Craig is helping her change her life.

In the meantime, read her blog and watch her heartfelt video here:

Who knows, maybe she'll get back into That Bikini yet!

See behind the scenes at Cheryl's advertising shoot, including interviews with her and her consultant.

Cheryl's triumphant reveal! OMG those legs!!!! We're very very proud of her.

Your first glimpse of the new Cheryl, where she realises this will be the first New Year in 40 YEARS she hasn't had to make a resolution to lose weight.

How is it that Cheryl taking her skirt off 30 years ago still is such a defining moment of British triumph?!

Well, at Jenny Craig we think we know…because she's 1lb away from goal weight and we've just seen her legs!!! You'll see them too from New Year's Day on TV and in the magazines…and there's a little teaser from the 27th December…if you don't catch it on TV, check on Cheryl's blog over the holidays!

Cheryl answers readers' questions

Hi there and apologies for no webcam this week - I have a horrid cold and don't think you'd like to have my nose streaming down your computer screen!

One good thing though has been Jenny Craig (and I'm not just saying that!) When you're poorly you don't want to have to work at a meal - either in terms of buying and cooking stuff, or the actual eating. Steve will offer to make sandwiches, but eating all that bread is kind of hard work, you just want soft stuff, don't you? I've been able to have risottos and soup and porridge - easy to eat, but also they're comfort food aren't they.

But the downside is I haven't done any exercise, so this week has been another plateau. Haven't put anything on though, woo!

Some nice things though this week!

Mike Nolan, of Buck's Fizz fame, is on the programme as of last week. I am going to be nagging him - his consultant and I are going to have a pincer movement! Jay doesn't need to worry about her weight at all, the lucky girl, but how nice would it be if the three of us were all trim for next year's tour?

And then - and this was just the best - we did a gig as part of the Tunbridge Arts Festival and I had so many of our fans coming up to me saying how great I was looking. One of them (you know who you are!) asked me whether it really worked. Yes and yes! So hopefully his Mum is going on it now too...You'd think as a 'celebrity' that kind of thing doesn't matter but it DOES. I'm still a human being, and for people to say you look so much slimmer, well, it means the world. I even got it off the postie this morning! She hadn't seen me for over a month with one thing and the other, and was oohing and asking whether I thought she should go on it too. Definitely! Not that I think she needs to lose weight but you know what I mean!

Sorry not to be more talkative this week, just feeling crook. Keep coming with your questions.

Oh, and for all the people asking about cost, well, it's under £10 a day for all your food and the consultant sessions. That may sound a lot, but be honest with yourself about how much you spend at work on lunchtime sandwiches, that sneaky latte and muffin…this is GREAT food, and being the you that you want to be, well, that's priceless.

And finally, have had a few comments saying the whole thing is fake..thanks!!! No, I wasn't wearing any sort of corset. In fact I wore the same pants in my before shot (and dress) and then again 11 weeks later. When you lose 18lbs and 18 inches you just look better! And I was only halfway! Have a look at some of my webcams. And then just wait till you see me on New Year's Day!!! I'm in size 12 jeans already and LOVING IT! So boo to you ;)

Take care all of you, and for those on the programme, well done and best of luck! Hopefully I can be more chatty next week!

Hitting the magic 10st mark! Cheryl answers questions from Abby, Su, Trevor and Michelle.

It's been a busy week for our Cheryl! 3 TV shows and she's STILL losing weight!

They're coming thick and fast now! Tune in to see your questions answered!

Cheryl responds to loads of your questions on webcam, see if she mentions you!!! She wants to turn this into a little Jenny Craig group, so let's keep cheering her on!

Well, the TV ad went on air today, my 'at home' with OK hits the magazine racks, I’m getting calls from journos…and finally my friends know now! It’s really exciting. Let’s hope those phones start ringing and you all join me on my journey!

Managed to get into a SIZE 12 PAIR OF JEANS for my day of radio interviews and they were so loose I could pull them down! That was brilliant for the old self esteem. Not that I would recommend taking your trousers off in public ;)

Clothes are so important aren’t they. I’ve got at least three different sizes in my wardrobe! I’m a bit of a hoarder when it comes to clothes, but now that retro’s in (even padded shoulders!!!) I’m really looking forward to chucking out the size 16s and getting into some of my old favourites. Though I’m sure I’ll be treating myself to some new purchases as well! TV fashion guru John Scott’s on the programme too and doing really well…maybe he can take me shopping!

Thanks so much for all the lovely comments you’ve been leaving, it’s really encouraging! I’ll try to get round to doing a webcam and answering some of your questions about the programme.

Ta ta for now.
