“I was a Geek Pinup Girl!”<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Who out there has seen the recent Jenny Craig<\/a> ads?<\/p>\n

My husband saw one of them this past weekend — I think it was a “targeted” online ad on a health website — and he couldn’t believe it was Carrie Fisher<\/a>!  We didn’t recognize her!  Seriously.<\/p>\n

Then this morning during the Rachel Ray Show<\/a> I saw my first television ad featuring Carrie Fisher.  The commercial, which was a simple interview with Carrie (similar to the video below), was actually kind of dark, but it got me inspired to root for her.  She’s brutally honest!<\/p>\n

Today, I found a video on YouTube’s Jenny Craig channel<\/a>, and it’s worth sharing.  She talks about how she was the Geek Pinup girl of the mid-80s, and has declared that she’s going to fit back into that gold metal bikini with Jenny’s help!<\/p>\n

So who’s with me!  Go Carrie! Go Carrie!<\/p>\n
