Will is a skill.

Get comfortable with being uncomfortable!

When you think of 'Biggest Loser,' you think of it as a TV show. But people are coming to lose weight. I take that very seriously.

I'm on the younger end of Gen X, and for me, growing up gay was not cool.

Strong, not skinny, is now sexy, and long workouts are a thing of the past.

There is really no room in any healthy diet for trans fat, artificial sweeteners, and artificial colors in food.

I looked to my mom as an example. And this is what I try to tell so many women: that my mom had a career, and she went to the gym. She took care of herself.

Put your choices in perspective.

If you don't learn from why you're in the position you're in, you are doomed to repeat it. You need to bring meaning to every setback.

Whenever you have a failure or setback, you need to take a step back and find out what you can learn from the scenario. What did you do to contribute to that failure? This way, you can make sure you don't repeat that pattern.

I was an overweight kid, and I went through a period where, oh my God, they were making cow sounds at me when I walked down the hallway and just humiliating me. Kids can be mean.

I was a gay kid who didn't know I was a gay kid, which was really challenging because you think there is something wrong with you until you understand what it is.
