Shape-up secrets with Allison Sweeney, host of the Biggest Loser

I've been an occasional watcher of Days of our Lives ever since my grandmother used to blare it in the afternoons when she looked after me as a child, so I've seen Alison Sweeney's weight yo-yo as much as her character Sami's love interests have over the years. But now, as the host of the Biggest Loser alongside her Days gig, she seems to be healthy and happy ... and she looks great! She recently spoke to Glamour Magazine about her weight. Here are some of the highlights:
  • "When I stopped obsessing about being skinny, and set my goal at being "healthy'" the results started showing immediately. I felt better cutting out breads, pastas, and sweets. I hit the gym wanting to get back into shape, and it wasn't such a chore because I was doing it for the right reasons. At least for me."
  • "Weight loss is an ongoing issue. It's not a 'diet' that can be over, then you forget about it. You have to be willing to make the change for the rest of your life. Which sounds a little overwhelming, but really, for me it makes it easier for me. A healthy 'lifestyle' means mental as well as physical, and sometimes, for my 'mental' health, I need a treat, or a glass of wine, or whatever. and you have to allow for those days. "
She seems to have a good grasp of what's healthy and what's not. Don't you think?
