I recently went through a weight loss challenge to be able to lose the 17 pounds I needed to. But guess what? After doing that I figured out rather quickly that if I don't watch what I eat and create a lifestyle of healthy habits, I would soon be back in the I-need-to lose-17-pounds-again phase.

I did not want to have to try a new diet fad every couple of weeks. And my guest doesn't want me to either. Louise Long is very serious about that.
