Star Jones

In all honesty my cake was baking when I met Al - I had made up in my mind already to get physically healthy. He refreshingly was on his own journey so it was almost as if we walked together.

The toughest part was doing it in front of the world and recognizing that you had gotten to a point where if you didn't do something you were going to die.

I'm fairly in tune with what's private with my husband and with me.

I despise - I hate - I'm terrified of karaoke, and I wish I wasn't because everybody I know who's awesome loves it.

I have rules about eating, exercising and rules about staying positive. And these rules are sacred to me.

I studied international relations and economics at the University of Virginia. I paid my way by working as a bartender in the summer and at three part-time jobs during the year.
