People tend to think that metabolism is genetically predetermined. That you're either cursed or you're blessed. And that's not true.

I change the workout every month, so you never adapt and never plateau.

I don't lock into one type of exercise.

I'm trying to get into the best shape of my life for 40.

I will teach people not only how to identify their goals and dreams, but subsequently give them the tools to make those dreams a reality.

People will accomplish anything if they believe the goal is worth it - they are worth it and that they are capable of achieving it - and that's exactly what my 'Maximize Your Life' show will do.

We can't sit around waiting for big government, big business, big religion etc. to save us. We need to get informed and take inspired action.

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

The gay thing has always been hard for me.

Sometimes you've got to make your work and workouts co-exist.

I used to tell moms that for the sake of their well-being they had to put themselves first. But I know now that's not always possible.

I completely appreciate the importance of fathers but millions of children are without loving homes. I think a child is lucky with one parent who truly loves her.

It's impossible to put yourself first when you're a mom.

I felt the calling to adopt. You just know in the deepest part of your being that you are meant to find this little soul and guide them through life.

Witnessing the bond between a parent and their little ones firsthand really brought home to me how much I was missing.

Obesity in children is growing out of control. A big part of this is economic. Fake foods are more affordable. It's enticing people to eat more because they think they're saving money when they're really just buying heart disease.

By the time I'm 40, the hope is that I'll be solidly in daytime television and producing the various other experts we've brought along the way.

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.

I'm part Bridget Jones, part Larry David. I'm shy; I'm prude.

I was an overweight kid, and my father struggled with his weight, too. We would go for a ride on his motorcycle on Sunday morning to get doughnuts, to make pizza together, or go get ice cream. I quickly learned that food equalled love and attention.

I was picked on as a kid. I had a nose the size of a softball plus braces and acne. It was rough.

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

I have watched as a people and as a country and a culture over the course of my teenage-into-adulthood life, and I do still think there is a tremendous amount of homophobia that exists.

Stop turning to fad diets and use common sense.
