‘Fat Actress’ star Kirstie Alley, has shed the bulge and plans to show off her new trim figure by appearing on the Oprah Winfrey show in a bikini.The actress who shot to fame in the popular series ‘Cheers’ before piling on the pounds went onto use her plump figure to artistic advantage, starring in the ‘Fat Actress’ TV show, which drew inspiration from her real life experiences.The 51-year-old actress, who played Rebecca in the U.S. sitcom, has struggled to control her weight for a number of years in a pattern which has conversely mirrored the highs and lows of her love life.In the aftermath of her divorce from ex-Baywatch actor Parker Stevenson in 1997, which resulted in a custody battle over their two adopted children, William and Lillie, the former cheerleader gained more than two stones and shot from a size 10 to a size 16.But last year Alley, who once tipped the scales at 230 pounds, made her struggle to slim down public as she worked to shrink down to 160 pounds.She is now celebrating after surpassing her goal, weighing in at 145 pounds. But having come this far, Alley is confident she can go even further and reach a taut and toned 135 pounds."I would like to look the best I could," said Alley, who has combined yoga and exercise with healthy eating. "That means kicking myself in the ass and working out constantly."Alley, who followed the ‘Jenny Craig’ diet programme, has appeared, looking svelte and sexy, in a commercial for the company and she now plans to come good on a promise she made on the Oprah Winfrey programme last year to return to the talk show wearing nothing but a bikini.
