Kirstie Alley: 'I would slit my throat on a treadmill'

Kirstie Alley has confessed that she struggles to maintain her recent 100lb weight loss.

The Manzanis actress revealed that her time on Dancing with the Stars last season gave her a love of dance, a passion she still incorporates into her daily workouts.

"Maintenance probably is the hardest part," Alley explained to People.

"I dance almost every day. [Dancing with the Stars] gave me something that I can do every day that I actually love that doesn't feel like a hardship or a grind. Come on, getting on a treadmill every day would make me slit my throat."

Alley added that she still does a cha cha she once performed with professional partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy on the competition as a warm up to her intensive ballroom workouts, saying that the session "kicks your ass, it's crazy".

The 60-year-old recently insisted that there was nothing positive about being fat and that being overweight was a terrible experience.

Alley has also said that losing such a large amount of weight has put her back in her "element".
