Kirstie Alley: I Want to Lose 30 Pounds on DWTS

US Magazine reports: Forget the mirror ball trophy, Kirstie Alley is hoping for a bigger prize at the end of her Dancing With the Stars journey.

"I've lost 60 pounds, and I have 30 or 40 more to go," the former Fat Actress star told UsMagazine.com at Monday's cast reveal. "And I think with this strenuous, rigorous dance schedule, I think it's going to work. It's exciting."


It appears the DWTS has become the new Celebrity Fit Club. Now everyone once to be on the show so they are forced to exercise. Kirstie is my girl. I wish her the best of luck. Yet, I doubt she will ever maintain weight loss success if she doesn't deal with the emotional issues she has with food.

50 Lbs. Thinner, ‘Inspired’ Kirstie Alley Looks to Drop 40 More

People reports:

... after tipping the scales at 228 lbs. last year, the actress has dropped 50 lbs.–and isn’t looking back. “THE GOOD NEWS….I’ve lost 50 lbs!!! THE BAD NEWS…I have 40 more to go!!! …lol…..at least I’m more than half the way there!!,” she Tweeted on Oct. 4. What’s her secret? Staying faithful to Organic Liaison, the weight-loss program she launched in March, as well as finding support and inspiration from fans who took the dieting plunge with her.

I am all for people losing weight, but since she is part owner of Organic Liaison, is this about her health or is it about money?

Kirstie Alley: "I've Lost Over 50 Pounds!"

US Weekly Reports:

On Thursday, the actress, who's slimming down with new food line Organic Liaison, Tweeted: "I've lost over 50 lbs...and I'm having the time of my of my life...30 more to goooooo"

I love me some Kirstie Alley, but her public weight struggles are tiring. I hope for her health this is her last time.

Kirstie Alley: Getting Fat "Was the Greatest Thing in the World"

Even though Kirstie Alley is trying to slim down on her reality show Big Life, she admits she had a blast packing on the pounds.

But after Alley discovered she weighed 230 pounds, she was horrified -- especially after she'd touted her 75-pound weight loss on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2006.

She credits Scientology for helping her come to terms with the weight gain.

"Scientology helps you lose your insanities. One of the keys is to say, 'You're in charge of your life, buster. You're responsible for any condition you're in,'" she says. "I've been irresponsible many, many, many times and that has resulted in me being fat."

Kirstie Alley is just crazy. If Scientology made her stop being insane, she wouldn't be such a Yo-yo dieter. I have seen her new show and I think all the tousled hair is what make her look older and heavier then she needs to look.

I am all for losing weight. Yet, you got to dress the body you got now. When I get to goal weight I want to shop at White House Black Market . Until then, I have been buying any black and white dress I can get from Lane Bryant. I have about 10 now.

So Kirstie don't give up, but don't continue to delude yourself.

How Kirstie Alley Lost 20 Lbs. – Organically

Since ballooning back up to 228 lbs. after a successful stint as the Jenny Craig spokesperson, Alley says that over the past few years "my two biggest hurdles in weight loss and maintenance are cravings and too big of an appetite."

So this year Alley, 59, launched Organic Liaison, the country's first USDA-approved organic weight-loss program that specifically targets those two problem areas.

I wish Kirstie the best of luck but I don't think anyone should be trying her supplements without some doctor supervision. It might sound stupid but I think weight loss really comes down to balance diet, reduced intake, and lost of exercise.

Sara Rue Loses 25 Lbs. on Jenny Craig

A little more than two months ago, Jenny Craig’s newest spokeswoman, Sara Rue, announced to PEOPLE her goal of losing 30 lbs. with the program. After five days she had dropped 7 lbs., and now, just nine weeks after she began she’s already shed 25 lbs. — and can’t wait to lose the final 5.

I am sorry but I am calling foul. We here at Fat Feminist Fitness Blog have been very critical of Valerie Bertinelli and Kirstie Alley while working with Jenny Craig. Yet, neither of them lost 25 lbs in 2 months. Here is the link to the video of Valerie Bertnelli talking about losing 18 lbs in 7 weeks.

Nicole Richie: Eating Disorder Rumors Were "Insulting"

Nicole Richie's shrinking frame has been the subject of much debate over the past few years. But the mother of two, 28, is speaking out now, slamming rumors that she ever had an eating disorder.
"I felt it was a little unfair to say someone has an eating disorder when they don't," she says. "It's extremely insulting and irresponsible."

Adds Richie, "An eating disorder is serious and it's a disease."


I feel Nicole Richie is splitting hairs. She may not have had text book anorexia, but she has some disordered eating. Cause just like Kirstie Alley and Valerie Bertinelli, Nicole Richie spent time on the "cocaine diet". Click here to read the Larry King transcript where she discusses her drug use.

Book Review: How to Lose Your Ass and Regain Your Life

How to Lose Your Ass and Regain Your Life by Kirstie Alley is her book about the year before she did Jenny Craig. It was a very funny book.

She talks about her Cocaine abuse. She talks about the weight loss benefits of the drug. Yet, she really talks about the pain it brings with it, unlike Valerie Bertinelli did in her book. Kirstie Alley says the a Dianetics: The Modern Science Of Mental Health and Scientology got her off cocaine after one session. She also states that it help her get to the root of her weight gain. She says the weight started to come on after her miscarriage.

Well since this book is pre-Jenny Craig we know that something went wrong in her journey since she gained the weight back.

In my opinion, this book is very funny but not very deep. So if you have the time pick it up. If you don't your aren't missing great wisdom.

Losing It: And Gaining My Life Back One Pound at a Time

We at FFFB are often discussing Valerie Bertinelli. In order to be fair, I wanted to read more about her. So I read her book. Losing It: And Gaining My Life Back One Pound at a Time . She is so out of touch with reality. I felt that she spent the whole book talking about other peoples problems and not seeing her part in it. She talks about being on the "Cocaine Diet" but she did not believe that it was an eating disorder, disordered eating, or a drug problem. She talks about doing drugs with Mackenzie Phillips, but describes how she distances herself from her after the arrest. She kept saying she was such a good person and so thankful for her parents rules even though she constantally talks about breaking those rules.

The one thing I did learn from book that I always suspected, Jenny Craig recruits they celebrity spoke people and pays them a lot of money. She said she got with Jenny Craig threw her agent even though she knew Kirstie Alley from her kids school.

Valerie Bertinelli to Kirstie Alley: "Let Me Mentor You"

"Let me mentor you this time," Bertinelli, 49, says Wednesday in an interview with ABC's Nightline. "I'll hold her hand. Oh, I would just - I'm telling you - I think it would be the greatest thing. There's so many people that come up to me wherever I am, and they say I was on the program a couple of years ago, and then I stopped, and then I see that you've had success, so I'm coming back. It's not a bad thing to stop something and come back to it. You're not a failure. You're never a failure. As long as you keep getting back up."

If they were such good friends why doesn't she call Kirstie Alley up and offer this help. Why do you have to feed into the crazy that is Kirstie Alley "lose 85 lbs " on Nightline. It is one thing to abuse yourself on National TV, it is another to be put on blast by other on TV.

I am happy to see that a former American Idol/Celebrity Fit Club assistant is consistently maintaining a healthy weight.

Please note that Kimberly Locke did use Jenny Craig while on Celebrity Fit Club, but did not receive the fan fair of Valerie Bertinelli and Kirstie Alley got for losing weight on Jenny Craig.

Kirstie Alley: 'Yes, I Gained 83 Pounds'

Kirstie Alley is just plain crazy and has no realistic goals. She is picking a weight from 30 years ago. As you can see from this quote Hollywood ruined her body perception.

What weight do you want to get down to? I have to be below 140 to really look good. I have to work my legs like crazy. Actually, do you want my real goal? My real goal’s always too low. I love the way I look at, like, 128. One time on Cheers, I weighed about 148 lbs., and they told me to lose, like, 20 lbs. Now, I’m 5'8", so at 148 lbs., I wasn’t fat. But they’re saying, "You know, you need to lose 20 lbs." So what does that put me at? 128. That’s where I keep getting this number.

Does Weight Loss success have to equal a Bikini?

See Clip

On The Oprah Show, Oprah asks Kirstie Alley is success has to be a bikini? She says yes.

In my opinion this is crazy especially when you are 58 years old like Kirstie Alley. In my opinion setting success at a bikini ignores the importance of a lot of the healthy lifestyle changes and health benefits. I feel the there needs to be a health/hotness balance.
