Kirstie Alley is starting off the New Year already way ahead of all of our resolutions to stay fit. The It Takes Two actress and Jenny Craig spokesperson appeared on the Today show earlier today to show off her new body to host Matt Lauer. The two made a pact back in April of 2014 that the starlet would lose 30 pounds before her next appearance on the show and it seems like she did that and then some.

The 63-year-old star revealed to Lauer during Today that she had actually lost over 50 pounds since their last encounter. The star has been yo-yo dieting for a while, after losing weight and then gaining it back, but she tells that host that this time she felt different.

"This time I thought, 'What is the goal?' and 'What is the time span of the goal?' I really looked at it as, 'This is my life until I am dead. I am going to keep this, this way,' instead of like, 'I lost 50 pounds, now I can do whatever I want,' I don't have that anymore," Alley told the morning show host.

"My goal is to keep this and maintain this throughout my life — especially as an actress," the star explained. "People are in different lines of work, but actresses need to keep themselves [fit]."

She also explained to the Today show host why she feels like the weight loss will stick this time around.

"I'm actually more responsible than I was before. I really want to do more acting and I want to do more movies," the star explained. "I thought, 'How do I like to see myself on film?' I think it's really important for everyone to decide how they want to see themselves, and I like to see myself looking more svelte."

The star also opened up to People magazine saying that when she got fit that she felt more energy.

"There's this certain place I hit where I felt really energetic and agile. I was like, I want to keep going with this!"
