Back in the 1980’s, Kirstie Alley was a blonde bombshell. As the years went by, however, the actress put on a good deal of weight, making her lose movie deals in the process. In the late 1990’s, Kirstie Alley turned to the Jenny Craig program; her entry was much publicized, as she kept a blog about her work on losing her weight, and as the public watched her progress.

Soon, Kirstie Alley lost seventy-five pounds, appeared on Oprah’s show wearing a bikini, and even had her own show to host. She became a spokesperson to Jenny Craig, a stage she now shares with fellow actress and friend Valerie Bertinelli, whom she referred to the program. Kirstie Alley is undoubtedly one of the most famous weight-loss celebrities, and she will always be remembered as the woman who dared to bare her leaner body – and perhaps inspired a legion of fans to go through their own weight loss programs.
