I'm addicted to a really tough workout. I like to be drenched in sweat when I'm done because I feel accomplished.

I was definitely one of those people who fell for the fat-free cookies and chips that are loaded with sugar and calories.

One of the things I like best about 'Biggest Loser' is being around people who are trying to make the right choices. When you feel defeated about your weight and your health, like there's no hope, and you still make the choice to fight for it, to make the change happen no matter what people say or think, that's inspiring to me.

I have encouraged my kids to eat well from day one. I add flavor - herbs and spices - to everything because I don't want them getting used to starchy, bland food.

I like to watch 'Grey's Anatomy' when I'd doing cardio. But, sometimes I do need good music to get me moving. I like high energy songs by artists like Justin Timberlake and Rihanna.

I love almonds as a snack, and in the morning, yogurt is a fantastic go-to. Sometimes I mix them together.

I battled with my weight as a teenager, partly because there wasn't the information or conversation about how to live a healthy lifestyle.
