Look several months ahead, see where the obstacles lie, and figure out ways to overcome them.

You can be predisposed genetically, but it's not a sentence. I'm genetically predisposed, but I manage my weight. The root of obesity, though, is usually emotional. The poor habits are a symptom of a deeper emotional issue.

I'm done with 'Biggest Loser.'

When you're strong physically, it improves your strength in every other facet of your life. You're more confident, your self-esteem is higher, and your self image is better.

Not to say you should let your physicality define you, but there are some things that can make people feel really insecure. So, if there is something you want to fix that allows you to feel a little bit more confident, I support it.

The more you change and stress the body the quicker it's going to adapt and change.

For years, I always thought it was hilarious that I was this fitness guru, because fitness was just a tool I utilized to help people improve their confidence. For me, it's never been about fitness. It's always been about helping to empower people.

I was homophobic because I obviously didn't know that I was gay.

I don't believe in eating throughout the day. I eat every four hours.

It's important in life to celebrate any victory in life.

Lazy doesn't exist. Lazy is a symptom of something else. The person who can't get up off their butt is just a person who's depressed. It's usually a pervasive lack of self-worth, or a feeling of helplessness.

I wish I had some strapping football player husband. It would be such a dream to be 'normal' like that, but I'm just not.

My agenda is trying to help people live a better life.

I'm not sympathetic. I have zero sympathy. I understand about emotional eating, I understand how painful the process can be, but I also understand that change is possible.

Politics aside, you look at Barack Obama, he is ripped.

My mom gave me enough self-worth to carry me through difficult experiences. She was very loving and accepting. She was like, 'Whelp, you're gay? OK, cool.'
