Maxy's Hideout

Kirstie Alley, who has struggled with yo-yo weight gain and loss for years, is showing off a body 10 sizes smaller after a lot of hard work. The 60-year-old actress strutted the runway during New York Fashion Week -- 100 pounds slimmer! – at her designer friend Zang Toi’s show.  Inspired by her physically demanding "Dancing With the Stars" stint, Kirstie has gone from a size 14 to a size 4. Before her appearance on the show, she said she visualized one day fitting in a size 4, and now she does.

Today, Kirstie's confidence is contagious, and she says she feels much more comfortable in her body. "I feel like I'm back in my element," Alley told Entertainment Tonight. "I honestly didn't even realize what I looked like."Her hard-won metamorphosis is not tempting her to take things further. No plastic surgery for the former “Cheers" star. "I haven't had plastic surgery but here's the reason: People do plastic surgery to make you look younger," she said. "I don't think it makes you look younger. I think it can make you look weirder."

Once 228 pounds, Kirstie saw the scale go up and down a lot and got to the point when she stopped looking at it altogether. After a 15-month hiatus from weighing herself, she finally stepped on a scale. What she saw, she said, was shocking. "I started screaming," she told People in 2009. "It said 228 lbs., which is my highest weight ever. I was so much more disgusting than I thought!"
Kirstie had already lost 75 pounds during her tenure as a spokesperson for Jenny Craig, then gained that weight (and more) back. Congratulations Kirstie, now stick with it Sweetie.
