Kirstie is quite tall, at least 5'8"
Which is why it's so hard to believe she claimed on Ophrah to have lost 70 pounds and look like a 180lbs person, yet at the same time insist that she weighed only 200 pounds at her peak. At that height being 200 pounds would be barely noticeable, a woman with slightly wider hips and solid thighs is already 200. But on the old 2000-2004 photos she looks so wide, 350 pounds is much more likely. Then she lost some weight, did the "Fat actress" show where she looked like 250, then lost a lot and went on Ophrah at maybe 200. Now she gained a lot again, probably back to 300.

I am 5'7" and 171 lbs and no where near as big as she is, I need to lose a few lbs but everyone says I look good.. I wish I could post a picture there was no way she was any smaller than 250. Bainy Barry says on 25/May/09
I too saw Kristie appeared larger than Oprah. Key word here is, "appeared." It was a single point camera perspective trick; let me explain. 1) close one eye; 2) extend one arm as far out as possible with your thumb pointed up; 3) take your other thumb just in front of your face and to the side so that you can see both thumbs at the same time. Walla! One thumb "appears" over twice as large as the other! With the distance of the TV camera, they got both in the same viewfinder with a soft focus (adds glamour and removes wrinkles) and the camera directors made Oprah appear more petite compared to Kristie. On purpose? Hmmmmmmm. Probably a coincidence but I would bet most all professional camera operators know this trick. Zuny says on 2/May/09
I'm comfused she was on Oprah this week and looked so much taller than Oprah, plus she also described herself as an amazon woman, so if she is 5.7 then Oprah it's really a lot shorted than she claims. Dino says on 11/Feb/09
OMG laugh - Get a life people- I love Kirstie Alley no matter how big or small she is - at least she's human and doesn't hide it like some people do - she's an excellent actress and comedian and overall good person - leave her and everybody else alone for "pitty sakes" and take a good look at your own self - that's the only person anyone has a right to criticize - because really - that is all we are doing when we cast stones at others - as even I'm doing here - because we are really casting them at ourselves - it's all about us- and if we feel bad about someone else - it's because that is how I really feel about myself. So I guess now I should apologize - but I'm sure you get the drift. Tony says on 7/Dec/08
trust me to clear up any confusion she was well over 300 pounds Click Here < that photo odviously shows it
but yea your shorter its easier to stack weight on you well not to some guys i know who dont gain alot even being normal at 5'8 5'9 just fast metabolism Tony says on 7/Dec/08
Kirstie was thick and stacked huge ass boobs and not like the cottage cheese fat , there were photos later on in her heavyness where it was cottage cheese fat Anna says on 20/Aug/08
I read in a magazine that shes 5'7,that sounds about right to me. Kevint says on 23/Mar/08
Alice: I haven't seen any "350 pound" Kirstie pics anywhere. She certainly was well over 200 pounds, but I'd put her at 275, max, at her highest.
I do think Anna Nicole Smith (5' 11") may have surpassed 300 at one point. C. says on 21/Feb/08
Her height is pretty spot on here. But honestly, she was well over 230 or 250 lbs. for that matter. I recall when one of my friend's who's around 5'9" got up to 220 or so and she looked much smaller than Kristie. NEVER did she look like that. Another friend of mine is my height and she's over 200 lbs. but she's very athletic. However, even then she looks much smaller than Kristie looked.
Alice is right-- the woman was well over 350+ lbs. Taller people can hide fat sometimes, but not when you're that large. She's more like 200 or so now. NOT 170 or 180. I see guys at that height and she looks bigger than them on television. Celebs just lie all of the damn time, even when they've gained a substantial amount of weight they'll still lie about it. It's ridiculous. Sarah says on 6/Jun/07
We only just got this how on free to air tv in Australia and I don't see her starting weight as being unbelievable. I am 5'7" and I used to weigh about 230 pounds. I have quite a few photos of me where I look exactly like that (embarssingly enough.) Don't forget that she probably wasn't very fit and so is likely to have had very little muscle. That could account for the number appearing lower than her actual bulk. Jennifer says on 19/Nov/06
Well in the latest round of news articles about her Oprah bikini appearance (and weight loss), all of the articles said that she's 5 foot 8. She looked taller than Oprah who claims to be 5 foot 7. Christie says on 17/Nov/06
Now c'mon. Kirstie is between 5'7-1/2" to 5'8". I am from her hometown and lived very near to the Alley's. I have stood next to her. At her size for every 10 lbs you loose, that is equivalent to one pant size. 70 lbs can take you from a size 16 to a 8 - 10 easy! My friend ran into her at Bed Bath & Beyond just last week here in Wichita and said she was about my size. I am 5'7 140. Remember, the camera adds lbs. Ever saw yourself in a picture and thought..."HOLY COW"!! Judy Leonard says on 7/Nov/06
I am happy for Kristie that she has lost 75 Lbs. I too could do this if I had a dance team, trainer, someone to make over by kitchen, etc, etc, etc, And, shame on Kristie for not telling the truth about her beginning weight. Who do they think they are kidding! It's not fair to the rest of us! Jen says on 17/Aug/06
She said in her book that she's 5 foot 8. Also she was interviewed in Redbook in the early 1990's and they said she was 5 foot 8. I've always thought of her as tall. Taylor says on 8/Jun/06
mmm.. no. I saw her at Ahhs .. or however it is speeled with her kids at halloween. She looked abou 5 foot 6.5 Johnny says on 7/Jun/06
Alice, that is soooo true. These Celebs lie through thier teeth. Kirstie wishes she only weighed 170 or 180. That woman was well over 250 EASY. The reason Hollywood puts all this BS hoopla behind it is because we the "public" buy into it. Johnny says on 7/Jun/06
Allice, that is soooo true. These Celebs lie through thier teeth. Kirstie wishes she only weighd 170 or 180. that woman was well over 250 EASY. The reason Hollywood puts all this BS hoopla behind it is because us "public" buy into it. Alice says on 9/May/06
I saw an interview during which Kirstie said the following: "The way I was eating, it was a wonder I didn't balloon up to 470lbs." But it was *how* she said it. She stressed the word "four" - like she was readily admitting she ballooned up to some *other* hundred and 70lbs, but not "*four*hundred-and-seventy." I'll bet anything she was admitting to reaching - 'ballooning' up to *three*hundred-and-seventy pounds". And 370lbs: that figure matches those horrible tabloid photos. If she weighed 370 to start off with, that long period where no new commercials came out would be understandable. And when new spots did come out? None of her lower body was visible. It was all obscured with dark clothing and quick camera angles. I'm 5'10" and once weighed 225lbs for a short time. I looked nothing, NOTHING like she does in that caftan or muu muu or whatever it is. Why she thought she could shave over 100lbs off her high weight is beyond me. Maybe there's some Hollywood curse that doesn't affect anyone under 300 pounds. . . This whole Jenny Craig campaign was an insult to the people who own up accurately to their problem and do the work necessary to correct it. kd says on 7/Apr/06
both boots were brown - they just re-aired the show yesterday absent says on 22/Aug/05
On Oprah she looked about 2 inches taller than Oprah and they were wearing similar heels. |
