Kirstie Alley's Weight Loss

Jordan2 — Thu, 08 Jan 2015 19:07:23 GMT

I saw her on The Middle last night and she looked great. Saw her on The View this morning and she spoke about her weight loss. She is a spokesperson for Jenny Craig again. She said the first time around she kept it off for 3 years. It took her 9 months to lose the weight this time. I guess the products she was selling at QVC didn't work

Sorry, by my yo-yo dieting life has made me think no products work unless we use them.

Stop looking for the holy grail of a product or particular diet and do portion control of a food plan designed around what you like to eat.

I know lots of women who, like me, have tried various plans - all of them work until we don't.

I know how the battle with weight gain and weight loss is. I hope she can win the battle and keep it off.

We saw her on the Middle last night and commented that this must have been prior to her weight loss. I didn't think she looked good at all.

Hopefully she will find what works for her and stop the yo-yo thing as that is unhealthy to keep doing to your body.

She just goes up and down so much. That's not really healthy.

It's definitely a struggle...

I totally realize how difficult losing and maintaining weight loss can be. However this comes across, I perceive Ms. Alley as being someone who is using weight loss as a side business. I speculate she makes more money going through yo-yo dieting than she would if she just lost and maintained once and for all. This is just my opinion based on nothing other than my perception.

I did Weight Watchers and have been at goal for 5 years. It is still a struggle everyday and if I didn't go to a meeting ever week I'm sure I would gain it all back like that! You always have to keep on top of your weight loss.

I can't imagine someone gaining weight just so she can get paid for losing it again.

KA could earn far more by staying thin than by messing with her health yo-yo dieting.

Like Oprah.... Ms. alley will yo yo up again and down again. It seems the both of them can not commit to a lifestyle change....only a diet. That always leads to failure.

She's like the vast majority of people who can lose a significant amount of weight but have limited or no success at keeping the weight off. And it's a biophysical issue, it's not a matter of people just reverting to old eating habits. It's much more complicated than that. I wish her well but she's in her 60's and assuming that she has not had bariatric surgery; it's almost a certainty that she'll regain the weight. She's been yo-yoing for years.

Kirstie's weight loss journeys are very relatable in that she falls down and gets back up again. Good for her that she keeps trying and especially good for her that her fame gives her the opportunity to get paid while doing so.

It is not easy, losing weight and keeping it off. And often it is a personal thing.... what works best for you.

I am on a roll and here is why.

1. portion control (less carbs, more fruits and veggies)

2. very little sugar and SUGAR SUBSTITUTES (they make me crave as well)

3. wearing an activity tracker and increasing my activity and keeping track of calories used.

4. joining with others as in myfitnesspal.com online (free)

5. having an attitude THAT I CAN DO IT AND I DESERVE TO SUCCEED

I am 25 pound down... slowly.. just about off all my meds for whatever illness I was on the borderline for.

She has done this so many times, if I were her, I would be embarrassed to keep doing it over & over! No it is not easy to lose weight (believe me I know) and the older you get the harder it is, as well as certain health problems and medications don't help either!

Regardless of her weight up or down, she is a great actress and lovely.

I read an article where several women were given different diet plans to use for a period of time, so that the magazine could get real results as to which was best. The results? The ones who stuck to the plan lost weight. There was no discernible difference in the plans. That being said, good for her for 'getting back on the wagon'!

She was supposed to look like a "hot mess" in the show, and she did.

I caught a glimpse of her on some TV show last night & thought she must have gained weight. I don't really keep up with her but I like her & enjoy her acting.

If I could figure a way to earn a living off my weight loss success, I'd be in the business, too. Not selling products though.

I really don't think she is yo-yoing on purpose. lol... It is hard to stop yoyoing; most people who do it are not able to end the cycle.

I can believe that. If you don't enjoy the journey, you quit. I lost a lot of weight years ago on Atkins but tried again years later and gagged. Too much protein. I lost a lot on WW and got stressed last year and gained it back. But because WW is so much a lifestyle instead of a diet, I had no problem getting back on it on January 1st and I'm having no problem. My mindset for losing weight is there and I'm motivated. You have to like your plan.

I agree with everything you've said.

I have always liked her. I can see that she really struggles with her weight issues and I can certainly relate. I have a hard time keeping weight off and I'm a big exerciser (but apparently also a big eater, LOL).

You really do have to keep on top of it, there's no doubt about it.

I hope this time will be the time that she can keep it off for good, for the sake of her health.

You go, Kirstie!
