    Wow! Kirstie Alley's dramatic weight loss

    Kirstie Alley | Photo Credits: Michael Buckner/Getty Images. TV Guide Kirstie Alley | Photo Credits: Michael Buckner/Getty ImagesTV Guide 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, Alley has gone from a size 14 to a size 4. Before her appearance on the show, Alley said she visualized one day fitting in a size 4, and now she does.

    Today, Alley'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, Alley 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!"

    At that point, Alley had already lost 75 pounds during her tenure as a spokesperson for Jenny Craig, then gained that weight (and more) back.

        I think a size 4 is to small for her, a 6 or 8 would be more realistic and maintainable,,, but she looks great,,,,,

    • Art  •  Fort St John, Canada  •  1 month 19 days ago
      I agree. Kirstie looks great and I am happy that she has finally gotten to a place where she can be happy with herself. But she is quite tall and I really don't think she is a size 4, at least not in any of the brands that I wear. I am 5'1" and wear a size 4.
      • dinnis79 1 month 12 days ago

    • Scott  •  Kelowna, Canada  •  3 months ago
      probably not gastric bypass. i'd say she's banded maybe. either way, can't say she looks bad.
    • Cathy  •  Roanoke, Virginia  •  4 months ago
      You go Kirstie ! Keep up the good work !
    • Donna  •  6 months ago
      gee, I love Kirstie, and she looks so good I hate to say this, but I am 5'4 wear a 12, and we look pretty close now, I have to say she was about the size of my daughter before, about 275 pounds and a size 24 or 26. she only wore flowing long dresses to hide her body, but look at teeny Kelly Osbourne, she is a 4 and she is tiny.Maybe she is a 2 now since she lost so much on DWTS, but hold up a designer 4, i mean it is freaking tiny. I had gastric bypass and I do believe Kirstie had it also. My surgeon, a bariatric expert told me it is nearly impossible for anyone over 250 pound and over 50 to lose 100 lbs and keep it off. He should know. And he thinks she had the surgery too, she lost too quickly. But, Love you Kirstie!
