Kirstie Alley's Big Life- Ep 1- "The big weigh-in"

This show follows the former sticom star as she continues her battle with the buldge. She was a one time Jenny Craig spokeswoman who even went on Oprah to unveil her new bod in a bikini. But celebrities are no different than regular folks who lose the weight only to gain it right back. This country is body image obsessed so someone like Kirstie is a perfect target for the paparazzi and gossip rags. She talks to her son and daughter about whether or not her weight issues and the fact that she's "fat" again bothers them. They say no and just want her to be happy no matter what she weighs.

Kirstie has made a decision to change her life and weight for good and she's come up with her own weight loss program. The players in her life are Kyle - the apprentice, Kelly- her assistant, True- her son, Lily- her daughter, Kelly her assistant, Magdelena her housekeeper, Jim, her handyman ( who she keeps around because she wanted someone fatter than her around the house) and enough animals for a zoo.

Tracy is working with Kirstie to come up with a New Years Eve outfit so the search for the hunt for the perfect dress in on. Meanwhile, her kids find her on the floor in their home gym laying down instead of working out and trying to encourage her to workout but it's not going so well and she needs a partner to help motivate her. She asks Jim if her wants to buddy up with her and loose weight on her program but she tells him that he needs to be committed. He agrees so she now has a partner and no-more excuses

Tracy returns with several dress options and after saying no to like 12 of them she has finally found the perfect white gown.

Kirstie constantly sees pictures of herself on the cover of magazines and she's really depressed so the plans of wearing that perfect white gown and partying on New Year's eve are a bust. Since she's home alone she invites Jim over to eat and he happyily obliges. Over dinner they talk about his wife and she talks about her lack of a social life and says that she hasn't dated in 10 years. She really hates the way she feels fat and when she stopped smoking and using drugs it was hard to keep the weight off. She realizes that she has to change her habits to make a change in her life.

So at 5am on Jan 1st of this year she has the weigh it with her two assistants. She figures out that she has to lose 80 pounds and she's determined to do it for good this time.

Do you think she can keep the weight off or is this a losing battle? We'll just have to wait and see...
