14 DAY TRIAL // Dancing is paying off for actress Kirstie Alley: after losing a lot of weight on her own program, the star has also been shedding the pounds very quickly thanks to the many hours spent rehearsing for DWTS. Best of all, it shows.
Alley and friends went out for dinner the other night, and, with the actress choosing a skintight dress, it was clear that she was enjoying her newly slimmer figure, the British tabloid the Daily Mail says.
The actress has always been open about her battle against the bulge. In fact, one of the reasons she joined DWTS was because she believed it could help her get over the weight loss plateau, and get to the size she wanted.
“I’ve lost 60 pounds, and I have 30 or 40 more to go. And I think with this strenuous, rigorous dance schedule, I think it’s going to work,” she said.
She’s nearly there.
“Kirstie Alley stepped out last night in a corseted red dress which highlighted her newly-slim physique. And while the former Fat Actress star acknowledges she still has a long way to go, she says she is thrilled with her ever-shrinking frame,” the Mail writes.
Indeed, in a recent interview, Alley revealed she wasn’t going to weigh herself until she was done and reached her desired weight.
“I haven’t weighed myself in the last four weeks. I bought these dresses from a size twelve (UK size 16) to a two (UK size 6). Tonight I’m a six (UK 10). When I’m a two, I’m done, people!” the star said.
On the most recent elimination show on DWTS, Kirstie and partner Maks learned they would live to dance another week, since model Petra Nemcova received the fewer votes and was sent packing.
In other words, Kirstie still has plenty of time to lose even more weight with another week of rehearsals; hopefully even more, to allow her to get to a size 2.
