Alley on the way down

Kirstie Alley

Kirstie Alley has lost 55lbs (25kg) and says she wants to lose more.

Alley said that when she started the Jenny Craig diet programme, she was horrified at the results of her weigh-in.

"I weighed 219lbs," she said. "For someone who spent most of her life at 130lbs ... it was a shock."

Now a spokesperson for Jenny Craig, Alley said her goal is to lose 25-30lbs (11.3-13.6kg) more.
