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

My husband and I both have our bucket lists. Running a marathon was on mine.

We talk a lot on 'Biggest Loser' about how fitness is a natural antidepressant, how it burns off stress. What I like about running is that it gives me time alone. I'm always busy, with people at work, with my kids. I love getting out for a run by myself and just listening to my music.

I have two beautiful children and my husband. The perfect day for me is just to be with them and have fun. We like simple things, you know.

The number one mistake is giving pets table scraps. I made the mistake thinking I was showing my dog love by giving her food and treats. You see a tiny 4 oz. piece of cheese, but for a Boston Terrier like mine, that's like one and a half hamburgers. That's unhealthy.

Our pets rely on us entirely for their nutrition. So if you're making your own judgments, that could lead to a mistake. At the same time, we have more control over our pet's diet than we do with our children or with ourselves, so your vet can tell you what is appropriate for your dog and you can assign them that.

What's wrong with extreme dieting and hard-core fitness plans is that they don't take into account the rest of your life.
