Kirstie Alley starts the New Year right by losing 50 pounds

No one knows the pains of losing and gaining weight as Kristie Alley but the actress made sure to start her 2015 right by going beyond her weight loss goal.

The 63-year-old actress vowed to herself that she would lose 30 pounds but instead she went beyond that and lost 50 pounds instead making her a size 6-8 from a size 12-14!

Her secret? Having fun with her new set of wheels, managing her diet, proper exercise and hiring a coach to help her stay on the right track.

"I got a yellow townie bike and I ride over to friends' houses," she told People. "I bribe people. I'll say, 'Let's ride to this restaurant and I'll pay for dinner.' And believe me: If I bike four miles to a restaurant, I don't wreck it with my order!"I started looking at myself as an athlete. I was a competitive swimmer for a very long time and I remember that I wouldn't have won anything or done well in swimming if I didn't have a coach," quotes ABC News.

She debuted her new figure at the Today show last January 5. She shared that she had to thank the weight loss system and consultants from Jenny Craig, the same company where she is the spokeswoman. US Weekly quotes, "This time, I really accessed our consultants. I did [use them in the past] but I didn't really listen to them that much. This time I really listened... I really listened to her and we would plan things out more carefully."

"This time it's different. My goal is to keep this and maintain this throughout my life. ... I feel like I've conquered that now. I'm sort of hardheaded. You know, when I used to do drugs, it took me a while to quit, quit, quit - and then it was done. And I feel like that's occurred for me [with my weight now]," she tells Today.
