Kirstie Alley is winning her latest battle of the bulge!

On Thursday, the actress, who's slimming down with new food line Organic Liaison, tweeted: "I've lost over 50 lbs ... and I'm having the time of my of my life ... 30 more to goooooo."

The star showed a tiny hint of her slimmer figure in a TwitPic of herself and "men friends" she met on a recent trip to Italy. "Back from Italy," the single mom of two wrote Sunday. "Found the love of my life ... turned out it was me."

Last year, Alley, 59, confessed that she had ballooned back up to 230 pounds — after initially losing 75-pounds via Jenny Craig and announcing it on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" in 2006.

The star's latest struggle to lose weight was documented on her A&E reality show "The Big Life." Alley admitted to Ladies Home Journal in April that she was in denial about gaining the weight back.

"By 2008, my weight started creeping up and I said, 'Oh, I still look good at 150. I still look good at 155. I still look okay at 165. Some of my clothes still fit at 175,'" she says. "And nobody was saying 'You're fat.' I was like a bank robber who was getting away with it."
