In just eight months, Phylicia Rashad, the Tony Award winning actress has achieved her weight loss goal of 35 pounds . The actress best known for her role as the Cosby mom, knew she needed to improve her health when climbing three flights of stairs literally took her breath away. She decided to lose weight and become a spokesperson for Jenny Craig. Rashad achieved her goal by eating 1,200 calories a day (basically a sista was starving!) and then exercising three to four times a week for 30-40 minutes. In a released statement, Rashad said, "the most rewarding thing about reaching my goal weight is that I feel so much lighter. There's just an overall sense of well-being. And there's the increased energy as well too. It's nice to have people say you look nice. Who knew losing weight could be so much fun?" Really, seriously? Jenny Craig must have paid her a lot of cheese to say losing weight was fun!!! But I am ready to sign up too! Jenny Craig, holla at your girl!

Anyhoo, Rashad looks awesome and is set to debut her new slim figure in a Jenny Craig commercial tomorrow.
