Former Jenny Craig spokesperson Kirstie Alley<\/a> shared with Oprah how she managed to gain back all of the weight she lost in 2006. Confessing to gaining 85 pounds, 10 more pounds than her pre-Jenny Craig weight, Kirstie candidly discussed\u00a0 how over the past year and a half, she stopped exercising and swapped\u00a0her 1,400-calorie-a-day\u00a0Jenny Craig<\/a> meal plan\u00a0for her favorite eats like chocolate and Chinese food.<\/p>\n

The trouble started when Jenny Craig stopped monitoring Kirstie’s weight through their astutely-monitored weekly weigh-ins. Prior to this, Kirstie would rely on these weigh-ins to keep her accountable to her weight loss. Next, as Kirstie started to give herself some slack and loosen the reigns on her stringent eating and exercise routine, the portions got larger and the food became heavier. Soon after, she\u00a0decided to turn her exercise room into a dining room and\u00a0moved thousands of dollars of exercise equipment into her garage where they sat and collected dust.<\/p>\n

After intense feelings of guilt, humility, self-loath and public ridicule,\u00a0Kirstie is determined to once again get back to her\u00a0bikini-wearing body.\u00a0In the past five weeks,\u00a0she has lost\u00a020 pounds using her own weight loss strategy, which she is hard at work at developing into her own diet business. Harboring no hard feelings toward Jenny Craig, Kirstie will officially launch her new weight loss program in the next few months. By February, she has set a goal to “look ripped” with Michelle Obama’s arms<\/a> and toned legs and butt.<\/p>\n

Ironically, she brought new Jenny Craig spokesperson Valerie Bertinelli<\/a> to the weight loss program who has since graced the cover of People magazine donned in a blue bikini and inspired millions of Americans to follow suit. But rather feeling jealous of Valerie’s amazing weight loss,\u00a0Kirstie is motivated by her friend and is\u00a0using her rock-solid body as inspiration to look just as great.<\/p>\n

Although the actress remains fairly tight-lipped on what her new weight loss program is all about (we first mentioned Kirstie’s diet plan<\/a> in February 2026), as soon as DietsInReview learns of its details, we’ll be sure to give you the skinny.<\/p>\n
