GAINS BACK 75 lbs

Yikes, i wonder if thats going to affect future endorsements for weight loss products…

Daily News – Kirstie Alley lost a remarkable 75 pounds during her famous stint as a Jenny Craig spokesperson, but, alas, the fat that melted off didn’t stay off. In fact, the former “Cheers” star ended up packing the weight back on, reaching 228 lbs., her highest poundage ever, she told People magazine. Alley pointed to an unbalanced take on vegetarianism as the major culprit in her weight gain. “For seven months I was a vegetarian, and I can’t tell you how much weight I gained being a vegetarian! A vegetarian would probably be eating vegetables. But to me being a vegetarian meant I’m going to eat enchiladas with no meat, and I’m going to eat lots of bread, lots of carbs.”

Undefeated, Alley laid out the can-do attitude needed to get her comparatively svelte body back.

“I’m ready to work,” she insisted. “I messed up along the way, but I’m not going to concentrate on that. I’m gonna go, ‘You know what? Get back on the horse, lose the freakin’ weight, and then just move forward!’”

And since experts say that when dieting, it’s helpful to pair up with a friend, she should probably give Valerie Bertinelli a call. 

The former soap star recently shed 40 pounds as a Jenny Craig spokesperson — a role she debuted in a commercial also staring Alley.
