The Nutrisystem spokeswoman broke down her best tricks for staying under 150 pounds.

According to the Mayo Clinic, most new moms experience “baby blues” after giving birth. That includes “mood swings, crying spells, anxiety, and difficulty sleeping,” the site added.
It can start two days after delivery and can last up to two weeks. “But some new moms experience a more severe and long-lasting form of depression known as postpartum depression,” the site added.
It is sometimes called peripartum depression because it can start during pregnancy and continue after delivery.
Osmond also said that he realized he was working too hard, and although he “looked good on paper”, he didn’t have the right balance.
Her ex: Osmond and her husband Brian Blosil leave a book signing for his new book Behind the Smile in 2001 in New York City.
“I had a crazy run, everything seemed to be going well, but when postpartum hit, it shook me up,” she said.
‘I dind’t have balance. You need to work, but you also need to take time to relax.’
She said that only by taking time for herself “did she get to a place where I felt good.”
One of the things that helped her feel better was getting back together with her first husband, Craig.
They were first married from 1982 to 1985, then married again in 2011. In between, Marie was married to Blosil from 1986 to 2007.

And he likes to plan adventures together: She shared that he told her earlier this month to pack for a surprise trip “just because.” She added: “I love that about him, there’s always an adventure.”
The two were separated for 25 years, and when they were apart they grew up, he shared. It’s fun hanging out with him. We both grew up with large families. We love being around our grandchildren.’
