Carrie Fisher Joins Jenny Craig

Carrie Fisher, Jenny Craig. Those are two names you may not have expected to see together. However, Carrie Fisher is the latest spokesperson for Jenny Craig. She joined the company in 2011 to promote the company that helped her lose 50 pounds. It took her nine months to lose the weight, which was a significant amount for her small, 5 ft. 1 in. structure. She started at 180 lbs. and dropped down to just under 130 lbs. Fisher says she’d like to lose eight more pounds. She doesn’t mind talking about her weight loss in public, which is something she’s proven in past candid interviews.

Fisher is most famous for her role as Princess Leia in the Star Wars movies but she’s also written books and continues to work as an actress. She’s battled addiction and has always been forthright about her problems. The 54-year-old actress feels this makes her more credible as a spokesperson because she’s honest about how she feels and she really enjoys the Jenny Craig meals. In an interview, Fisher stated that her famous mother, Debbie Reynolds, and daughter, Billie Catherine Lourd, also enjoy the Jenny Craig meals, especially the treats.
