The 61-year-old actress said walking up three flights of stairs and not being able to catch her breath was her moment of truth that made her decide to take action.
With the help of her Jenny Craig consultant, Phylicia followed a personalized comprehensive nutrition and activity plan that worked with her busy life as an actress. Her program included a diet of 1,200 calories a day and 30-45 minutes of activity up to four times a week.

And the new trim Phylicia couldn't be happier with the results.
"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," she said in a statement. "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?"
"We are so proud of Phylicia's success. As the public saw her journey unfold on television, Phylicia remarked that the one part of the Jenny Craig program she didn't think she needed, a personal consultant, turned out to be the key to her 35-lb weight loss success," said Jenny Craig Sr. Director of Branding and Advertising, Steve Bellach. "Phylicia exemplifies what is achievable and for that reason, she is truly inspirational."
