There are times, like after a long day of work when the thought of an easy drive-through is enticing. But then I remember how crappy I felt when I ate fast food in the past, and it inspires me to head to the grocery store or my local farmer’s market and whip up an easy but healthier option.”

– Alison Sweeney

We talk a lot on ‘Biggest Loser’ about how fitness is a natural antidepressant and burns off stress. What I like about running is that it gives me time alone. I’m always busy with people at work and with my kids. I love getting out for a run by myself and just listening to my music.”

– Alison Sweeney

Our pets rely on us entirely for their nutrition. So if you’re making judgments, that could lead to a mistake. At the same time, we have more control over our pet’s diet than we do with our children or with ourselves, so your vet can tell you what is appropriate for your dog, and you can assign them that.”
