The Hot in Cleveland actress appeared on the Today show on Monday and said she lost 50 pounds with the help of Jenny Craig. Alley, who’s a paid spokesperson for the company, has lost weight in the past but struggled to maintain her thinner figure. This time around, she said she really listened to her consultant and plans to keep the weight off.

“I really looked at as ‘this is my life and until I’m dead, basically, I’m going to keep this, this way,’” she said. "This time it's different. My goal is to keep this and maintain this throughout my life.”

Alley says her more responsible nature will help her keep the 50 pounds off as well as her desire to make more films.

“I really want to do more acting and I want to do more movies,” she said. “And I thought, ‘How do I like to see myself on film?’ I think it’s really important for everybody to decide how they want to see themselves. And, I like to see myself looking svelte. That’s just the truth of it.”
