Okay I just watched it too. I have to agree with you.

She DOES look great, and she's lost a lot of weight, and that's wonderful. Believe me, I'm not knocking anyone who is 55 years old and looks halfway decent in a bikini.

However comma LOL

There is no way that her original photos had her at 220. And there's no way that she weighs 145 now, which is where a 75 pound loss would put her. Look at these:



That's her before photo, supposedly at 220 pounds. However, if you run her height (5'7") with a weight of 220 on My Virtual Model, you get this:



Now, if you run her height at 300, you get this:



Which looks much closer to the above photo to me.

Also, if you run her height at the 145 that she currently claims to be, you get this:



Which is a little farfetched. To me, she looks more like this:



Which is her height at 200.

Hey, Katie Scarlett! To be perfectly honest, in my post I originally estimated her "before" weight at 275, and her weight today on Oprah at 200. Then I thought I might have over-estimated and edited my post to read 250 and 175. Looking at your Virtual Models, it seems I was probably right the first time.

I saw it too.....I agree that she could not have been 220 before as I am 5'8" and started out at 274 and my body did look like hers used to look. You can see it in my before pics.....and I'm 56 yrs old!!

here is my before


and after at 160



She does look great now even in the bikini!! I think that her weight now is around 140-145. Thats what it look like to me.

I give her credit for losing a lot of weight, but she is not/not a size 4. I am a size 4 (see pic, sorry it's big):

Thats after losing about 30 lbs. I know everybody is built different, but I'm guessing she's a size 10. She should be proud of her accomplishments and not "fudge" the numbers for JC's corporate agenda.

I guess we'd need to see similar poses side by side to really tell what compares to what, but I think Kirstie looks great.

I weigh 30 lbs more than a friend of mine, but wear the same size pants. We're roughly the same height, so it's a matter of where the fat and muscle decide to camp out, I guess.

I will say that I admire her a lot for having done this the old fashioned way, rather than opting for the increasingly popular weight loss surgery. It would have been very easy for her to pull an Anna Nicole Smith: disappear from public view for a while, then pop back out on the scene magically, suddenly half the size she used to be.

Just a thought - I went to the Oprah link and saw the picture of Kirstie Alley - anyway I think her top half is disproportional to her bottom half. Its like she still has a lot to lose on the legs....

Wow. I'm glad no one here is picking apart my pics. Geesh. WHO cares what she weighs? Whatever her weight, her hard work has paid off. And she kept her sense of humor about her. Does it matter if her body is not "proportioned". We are not all built the same, thank goodness. I, for one. applaud her efforts. Don't forget that TV and pics can make some look very heavy. The "models" used to try and figure her weight look fit to me. You don't see bulging FAT which takes up alot of space. My mind is boggled at the time and effort spent on posting what models look like at Kirstie's supposed weight. Time better spent on something more positive.

One more thing....you are going by tabloid pics. Has anyone heard of re-touching photos? I can't believe the bashing!
