By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Slimline: Kirstie Alley showed off her sleek figure at the Good Morning America studio in New York today


Kirstie Alley lost out on the Mirror Ball trophy on the finale of Dancing With The Stars last night but she is also a big loser in another way.

The 60-year-old actress, who appeared on Good Morning America today, has shed a sizeable amount of weight during her 10 weeks on the show.

She has gone from a U.S. size 12 to a slimmer size 6 although she admits it is a 'stretchy size 6'.

'My dress is half the size it was when we started', Kirstie said of her little black frock. 'I have a lot more strength and stamina.'

'[Dancing With The Stars] has made me alive again,' she told Us Weekly. 'It's given me a new view of what I want to do in my life.'

Kirstie wore the same dress last night that she did on the first episode which had to be taken in a staggering 38 inches.

'It's the same dress,' she told USA Today. 'They really had to take it in.

And the former Fat Actress star says she has a plan for keeping in shape now that the show is over.

'I'll keep dancing!' she shared and then joked: 'I wanna come back next year and get that f***ing trophy.'
