I've learned that a family can have little glitches without being labeled dysfunctional.

There was a time when I was 312 pounds. And I've been all different weights.

When you're not blond and thin, you come up with a personality real quick.

First and foremost, I'm a feminist. And basically that stems from a strong belief that all people and creatures deserve equal opportunity, rights and respect.

I recently lost 50 pounds. I'm hovering on the cusp of a size eight, which seems unbelievable.

When I was heavier, I danced and I jumped out of planes. I've always rejected the idea that there's a certain look or size that makes it acceptable to live life.

Who'd ever have thought that I'd be the face or the body of any kind of exercise at all.
