Kirstie Alley Down to a Svelte Size Six? Rotund Kirstie Alley Managing to Drop The Pounds on DWTS!

Posted by Adam

Kirstie AlleyKIRSTIE Alley will soon be unrecognizable!

The actress — who’s competing on this season of Dancing With the Stars — says that dancing “every day” has helped her drop several dress sizes.

“I started out in a size 12, then an 8, and then I think next week I’ll be in a 6,” Alley told Us Weekly after her performance Monday night. “The real size I want to be in is probably a 4 or a 6. That’s where I look best.”

The 60-year-old actress — who will debut her Organic Liaison weight loss system on QVC Saturday at 11 a.m. EST  — hinted that she may even do a big weight loss reveal on Oprah.

“There aren’t that many Oprah shows left, but you never know,” she teased. “It’s whittling fast, and I’m dancing every day. Who knows?”

Recent reports claimed Alley has been using Spanx to hide her fat.

“Kirstie’s original goal was to weigh 150 pounds before jumping into the show, but she never got close,” a source said.

“She’s lost a lot of weight since rehearsals started in March and she now weighs 175 pounds, but she’s still uncomfortable about her appearance.

“Kirstie is an avid user of Spanx, and she constantly gets spray-on tans.

“She also hassles wardrobe to costume her in flowing dresses to hide the extra pounds around her stomach. And she prefers solid colors because she believes that patterns make her look bigger.”

    there is no way she is a size 6, and she has a long way to go before she is. I’m happy shes trying to lose the weight cause if she’s 60 as the story says, she’s going to have alot of health problems if she doesnt take the weight off. Dancing is great exercise and a great way to help lose the weight, BUT, your diet is also very important. I have a feeling she’s not eating the healthiest, but hey what do I know.

      MAYBE A SIZE 60………..I THINK THAT WAS A TYPO!!!!!!!!

  • Marie

    She is NOT a size 6! She’s at least a size 16. But, I’m sure we all admire her for getting in to shape on DWTS and with 40 million or so watching her progress. She has nice curves and she’s a good dancer, especially for her age. She is competing with girls who could be her daughter and yet she is holding her own. Good job!

  • Toni

    There is absolutley no way she is a size 8…let alone a size 6! I would estimate she is at least a size 12. Regardless, she is doing an awesome job and looks no where near 60 years old.

    PLEASE! I know TV adds 10 pounds but Kirstie is nowhere close to a size 6. She is probably a size 16 right now. She has a long way to go before she gets into a 6. I would believe that Cheryl Burke wears a size 6 but definitely not Kirstie.

  • Carol

    She’s not saying that she wears a size 6. She’s saying she currently wears a size 8. And I saw her in person last week and I believe that could definitely be true. Do you know how tiny those dancers are? Even the men are mini-people (like most TV/movie people are). So yes, she’s still larger than the average person on TV, but she’s definitely not a size 16 or larger.

  • Dianna

    Kirstie is beautiful at any size. She has a fun personality, and she doesn’t take herself too seriously. She’s a refreshing change from the size 0 celebs, and I hope I look that beautiful at 60.

  • Michele

    1. Kirstie Alley IS 60 yrs old! She turned 60 in January!
    2. I don’t believe she wears a size 8! No way can 175lbs fit into a size 8. I am 30lbs less than that I wear either an 8 or 10. I think she probably wears a size 12, maybe w/the spanx a 10.
    3. I really like Kirstie and hope she wins! Max deserves to finally win!

    I’m happy Kristie is losing weight, but a size 6,8, or even a 12??None of the above! If she was “just “stating her blouse size”, that could not be true! Here hips and belly are “at least a 18″…Whatever her size really is, yes, “she has natural “soul”, as most of us, who are “70′s ladies do”. If it wasn’t that “Maks”has all the female viewers” drooling over him”…She would be gone by now. All my friends are giving them “votes, because they adore Maks…Pietra should “never” have been voted off, or her pro dancer. But, does anyone “really “know” her? It is a “popularity show, not very “fair”. But, I’m as guilty as “everyone else , when it “comes to “Maks”. But, now, that it is getting to the “end”, I’ve been giving my votes to “who is really improved”, not who is “hot”.

  • Darla

    6, 8, 12…who cares??? Kirstie is haninging in there. I vote for her every week, not Maks. Fell in love with Kirstie watching episodes of Cheers!! And I hope I have her wonderful attitude at 60… Go Kirstie!

  • sabine

    Hey, good for her for gettin out there n doing such a great job. However, I think it’s insulting to tell people she’s an 8 and almost a 6. I never believed her weight was only 200 pounds when she came out on Oprah years ago. She would have to get measured and weighed in on live tv before I would believe those numbers. Why can’t you just be honest about your size? And if u can’t be honest, keep ur mouth shut.

  • peggy

    first off Kirstie you’re a size 12, 8 or 6 like a hippo is a size 12, 8 or 6 and you don’t weigh 175lbs maybe more like 215lbs which there is nothing wrong with it but gosh could you just once in your life not lie about how heavy you are! You’re one of my favorite actors but I get so embarassed for you when you say something stupid like gosh I started at a size 12 and now I’m down to a size 6. We all know that’s pure BS. No one cares what size you are as long as you’re you. So stop trying to hide the fat cause it’s there honey and the only way it’s going to be gone is by hard work but you have to be honest about it.

  • lynne

    In what universe is 175 lbs a size 12? 150 a size 6?

    But 60 years old and heavy – she is doing great.

  • pansy25

    Good for Kristie trying to weight but I doubt she’s size 8 turning to 6. lol. Sorry Kristie! I love you but please stop lying… There’s a long way to go before you end up to size 6. You need extreme diet and exercise to do that. So good luck!

  • christine

    Yes, we all love “Kristie”, but her dancing “could not even compare to some of the previous dancers that have been already eliminated”…We all need to focus on “who “really” is the best celebrity dancer, “who is improving the most”…Not “who we LIKE the most”. This is not being “fair” to those who are really the best”. One good thing about”this seasons’show”…There are no “whiners”…Dancers have fallen, and “gotten back up”, with “grace”….Jennifer Grey drove everyone “nuts last season” constantly whining, with every injury, etc. “Kristie is “older, gets so short winded, but “NEVER complains”, a very good “attitude. That’s why the fans “love her”. Personality is everything! Krentra “has a beauutiful baby at home…I’m “sure she misses him…NEVER whines about “missing him…Same with Chris Jerrico…These celebrities “know ahead of time the sacrrifices, etc”…Do it, don’t “whine”…You’ll lose votes.
    Love this show!

    Size is not determined by weight.
    Dress size is determined by bust,waist & hip measurements. To simplify though,here are modern pant/skirt/jean sizes, each manufacturer might differ slightly. These are from a GAP size chart:

    Size 6 = 28″ waist
    Size 8 = 29″ waist
    Size 12 = 31″ waist
    Size 14 = 32″ waist
    Size 16 = 33″ waist
    Plus Size 1 X = 34-35″ waist
    Plus Size 2 X = 36-37″ waist

    Perhaps she has slimmed down more than the photos shown in this article,but to me, those photos show a woman who would wear 1X-3X.
