Kirstie Alley has revealed that she has lost a whopping 100lbs. The 60-year-old actress first started dropping the weight after appearing on Dancing With The Stars and said she is finally down to a US size-four. “I’ve lost 100 pounds,” she told Entertainment Tonight. “I feel like I’m back in my element. I honestly didn’t even realize what I looked like.” “Before Dancing With The Stars, I bought these dresses from size 14 to 4. [They were] all the same dress, and I said, ‘You know what I really want? I really wanna be in this dress in a 4!’” But she insisted that she won’t be turning to plastic surgery for a quick nip and tuck. “I haven’t had plastic surgery but here’s the reason: People do plastic surgery to make you look younger,” she said. “I don’t think it makes you look younger. It’s more like it can make you look weirder.”
