The 58-year-old former actress offers up all the details about her recent diet struggles to the upcoming issue of People, saying that when she stepped on the scale for the first time in 15 months, it wasn’t pretty. “I started screaming. It said 228 lbs., which is my highest weight ever. I was so much more disgusting than I thought!”
Kirstie managed to slim down to 145 lbs after dropping 75 lbs during her three-year stint as a Jenny Craig spokeswoman. She even showed off her figure on The Oprah Winfrey Show in a bikini — albeit covered in a skin-coloured bodysuit.
But since parting ways with company in 2007, she had not worked out and sent her gym equipment to the garage. As for her diet, her small, low-calorie portions gave way to Chinese takeout and pasta drenched with butter. “There was a lot of butter going on,” says the 5′8″ star. “I fell off the horse.”

Well what did she expect? Jenny Craig is not a sustainable weight loss program. Eventually you’re gonna need to eat regular non-Jenny food. Sure it works for a year or so, but what do you do when you have to eat like a normal person?
She should just stay fat. It’s not like she got any acting work in the 15 minutes she stayed thin.
Anyone who truly cares isn’t going to eat Chinese and “buttery things” all day.
She’s a mess and that is why she can’t control herself. There are so many fruits and great foods to eat during the day that a rich woman like her could maintain herself at a good weight if she tries hard enough.
How long will it be before Valerie Bertinelli follows suit?
Face it, not everyone is meant to be thin. There are fat, thin, short and tall people and that will never change. Perhaps she is just designed to be the weight she is for whatever reason and she should just do her best to at least eat healthy foods and go walking then to constantly yo yo diet. She is older, she has had children, she has constantly battled her weight, she should focus on being healthy and happy and not on getting her 20 year old body back and trying to fit in a bikini, there are more important things in this world.
says the 5?8? star. “I fell off the horse.”
No, honey. Apparently, you ATE the horse…
she fell off the horse? she killed the damned horse.
Weight aside, I think she looks damn good to be almost 60. I had no clue she was that old!
Either way, poor horse!
It’s a real shame to see this. All her hard work was pretty much for nothing. You would think that she would make a serious effort to keep the weight off, not just for how it made her look, but for the health benefits that come with not being overweight. I hope she manages to get back on track again.
