Nearly a year after her Jenny-Craig-fueled-weight-loss-extravaganza began, Kirstie Alley will pose in a bikini on an upcoming episode of Oprah.

On Nov. 7, 2005, Alley appeared on Oprah Winfrey’s talk show, saying she was inspired by a guest who had lost 70 lbs. and went on to win a Miss Bikini America pageant.

“You know how I said every 15 pounds I have to challenge myself? … I’m thinking this would be a really good challenge,” Alley told Winfrey. “If I don’t make it, I’m really sorry. You can all come over to my house and see me in a bikini. But I think that would be a grand challenge.”

Alley recently blogged about her plans to appear in a bikini on Oprah.

“The most important reason I want to wear a bikini on Oprah, however, is because if I, a 55-year-old woman, can look even halfway decent, imagine how all of you could look in a bikini,” she continue, according to AOL. “Hell, I’ll never look like Giselle, I never did! But maybe close to Bridget Jones or a Dove girl or something that is just fine and healthy and happy, with no surgery, no lipo and no drugs – that’s saying something!”

Alley will appear on Monday’s episode of the talk show.
