It would seem like Kirstie Alley weight will no longer be an issue. Kirstie Alley shared that she has lost as much as 20 pounds. Although she was the one who worked it out, she is very much grateful for Jenny Craig for making her a celebrity spokesmodel once again.

Alley, 63 years old, might be as tall as 5'8, but she has always cited her then-figure as a common joke on her TV shows. She is a cast alumnus from "Cheers" and is a current star in TV Land's "Kirstie." She posted on her Twitter account on Tuesday, the 24th of June, "I'm down 20 lbs*!!! That's like losing 3 lemurs! Thanks @JennyCraig!! *typical loss 1-2 lbs a week."

Along with her tweet, she also posted a picture of three caged animals that looked like raccoons. She then tweeted, "On my way to my 30 lb weight loss...join me!!!! FEELS GOOD!!!"

Alley has been raising lemurs as pets for over three decades now. In fact, she has not been shy about her pet lemurs as she has featured them many times on her 2010 A& E reality show, entitled, "Kirstie Alley's Big Life."

Lemurs are endangered ring-tailed primates that started to become famous when the animated movie "Madagascar" hit the big screens in 2005. According to data gathered from "The National Graphic", each lemur weighs a maximum weight of 7.5 pounds.

The fluctuations when it comes to Alley's weight were highly noticeable over the years. In 2004, Alley was first announced as a Jenny Craig spokesmodel, months before her Showtime show "Fat Actress" made its premiere TV screening. Two years after that, she started to lose 75 pounds with a diet program; she confidently flaunts her bikini-clad body on "The Oprah Winfrey Show."

In 2007, Alley and Craig decided to part ways. Alley's return to 230 pounds since they said their goodbyes did not surprise many people. She starts her own diet plan, Organic Liaison in 2010. She even tweeted that she lost 50 pounds because of her own diet plan on October that same year. One year after this onset, she revealed a weight loss of 100 pounds after she competed on "Dancing with the Stars" with partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy.
