Kirstie Alley: Plus Sized Once, Plus Sized Again

Kirstie Alley was once recognized simply for her unusual good looks and exceptional acting, but now she is known as one of those famous celebrities who are on what Americans like to call yo-yo dieting. In 2005 her weight had gone up to 200 pounds, but after losing 75 pounds in 2006 and proudly showing herself off in a bikini, Kirstie Alley has since then strongly supported anti-obesity campaigns, and at one time even became a spokeswoman for the Jenny Craig weight-loss program.

But apparently, lately she has regained more than she previously lost (83 pounds and still counting). After 2 years with Jenny Craig, Kirstie Alley left, announcing her plans of introducing her own weight-loss program. She has shared as much with Oprah on the show, along with her feelings of being "disgusting" and "ashamed" of how "irresponsible" she's been, but that she's determined to "nip it in the bud before it gets out of hand" this time. Really. Moral of the lesson: even plus size celebrities can still have plus size dreams.
