"I just said, 'I'm going to cut myself some slack.' Big mistake," Alley, 58, says on The Oprah Winfrey Show Thursday (WATCH VIDEO HERE).

Part of the problem: She says she had turned her home gym into a dining room.
"I thought, 'You know what I need? You know what I haven't had a lot of? I haven't had a lot of dinner parties and company,' " she tells Winfrey.

Today, Alley vows, "I'm going to lose 80 pounds ... I'm going to be in a bikini again."
Her inspiration?
"We look around. We see what we want," she says. "Don't you look around and see what you want to look like? I'm, like, 'Look, Michelle Obama 's guns. I could have those arms,' " she says. "I don't know about the legs."

Says Winfrey: "You've got to work for that."
"I know," Alley says. "I'm saying, I think I'm ready to work."

Alley was a spokesmodel for Jenny Craig's weight-loss program for three years before leaving in 2007 to launch her own weight-loss brand.
Contacted by Usmagazine.com, a Jenny Craig spokesperson said in a statement: "Jenny Craig maintains a friendly relationship with Kirstie, and we are proud of her accomplishments while she was on our program.
"Kirstie successfully lost 75 lbs and maintained that weight loss throughout our three year relationship, which came to an end in December 2007.
"We remain supportive of Kirstie, wish her nothing but the best and we would welcome her back at any time as a returning client," the statement concluded.

Kat BI am the same age as Kirstie and I have been quite successful at weight loss with Weight Watchers and Curves plus Total Gym...BUT it takes consistency. You cannot keep the weight off unless you stay with the program. Just to lose it for a special event or to be shown in some dumb bikini just isn't reality nor healthy thinking in my opinion. I wish her well with her endeavors!report abuseposted May 3, 2009 6:53 AM PDT

StarmanI don't think much of JENNY CRAIG for not trying to help Kristi more. Instead , they couldn't wait to drop her and replace her with Vallerie. That's not saying to much for the Craig. Co. I know I'd never use them and I probably need it worse than Kristie.report abuseposted May 3, 2009 5:23 AM PDT

StarmanShe wants to try again and that's the main thing. The scientology thing isn't my bag. That's her business and nobody elses. She's still a beautiful lady and she hasn't let anyone down but herself. She did it before and she can do it again.. Can't wait to see her in a bikini again. You go Kristi!report abuseposted May 3, 2009 5:11 AM PDT

No RealityHEY KIRSTIE, I HAVE AN IDEA...GET ALL THE OT VIII SCIENTOLOGISTS ( INCLUDING YOURSELF) WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE SUPER HUMAN POWERS TOGETHER AND SEE IF THEY CAN ALL HELP MELT YOUR FAT OFF YOUR BODY. IF THAT DOESN'T WORK, YOU CAN ALWAYS SPEND MORE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON MORE AUDITING SESSIONS. IF AFTER ALL THAT, YOU DON'T SUCCEED, THEN I GUESS YOUR S.O.L...L.O.L!!!report abuseposted May 1, 2009 1:03 PM PDT
