Kirstie Alley and Oprah Winfrey

Kirstie Alley and Oprah Winfrey Kirstie Alley has embarked on a pretty hardcore diet incentive.

The actress has made a vow to get ripped by November.

And the brave lady made the ambitious promise on The Oprah Winfrey Show.

So there's no backing out now, Kirstie.

The Cheers actress revealed she has gained 75 pounds, but now plans to lose it to fit in a bikini.

She told Ope: "It's humiliating."

Referring to how she used to be a spokesperson for Jenny Craig, an American weight loss programme, she said: "The most painful thing for me is that I have all these people that I inspired and I let them down."

She added: "When you're a spokesperson for a weight loss company... somebody weighs you every week. It's pressure, but it's good pressure.

"I do better if I have some pressure on me. When I didn't have that anymore... I just said 'I'm going to cut myself some slack.' Big mistake."

The 58-year-old revealed negative feedback she has had from the media: "This (paparazzi) said to me 'Fat ass, turn around so I can shoot you.'"

Nasty.

But on the bright side, Kirstie is planning to get in shape again and is working on her own weight loss line.

She told Oprah: "By November, I have to look ripped."
