We will talk to her about the new sh fiow. And w resolution is to lose weight, and what about this for motivation, a couple who lost more than 350 pounds combined. They will share tjuir secrets. And look at who s is in the dressing room . Al roker. He has a n his lovely wife deborah and he is looking at it there. There has to be another news site. Deborah works for abc. It is fine. Im sure. And we have one of the catching up with the stars and rob shoe ta is here. It s is it is a big day for Miranda Lambert. Yes, she has a new man. And what about the sites that you have. Yes, the instagram, and we went town to texas, and that not texas, but that is okay. We went to texas first and then to florida. By the way, is that a selfie . Yes, it is a selfie. And your husband took it . Yes, because my husband has ally ong arm, and he is 64. And even is looking right on. And we have a tradition that we started together to go on a sunrise golf cart rise or the hike or whatever to watch the everybody get up quickly or no . I, myself, was not up the quickest. Th on christmas eve, and we did a Little Service by our ranch in texas where henry and i got married, and my dad and we sang Christmas Songs and it is so hilarious, because mela is not used to the tradianonal songs, and she wase ling rudolph. Like which ones . Is lent night. And do you go all out . No, and mela did get an easel so she could learn how to paint. And do you dress them up . Yes, because they are doll babies. And mela kept saying, poppy, what do you do want for chris pas . And christmas. And they have a little video. Okay. How does it go. Okay. What do you want for christmas, poppy . What do you want, baby . Is that what she did to your granddad . No, to the baby. So it was great. And yours . I went to my mom and my sister to the bahamas, because nothing says christmas like the bahamas. And we had a great time, and you know who we saw there . Sh i know from the instagram. Magic johnson and we kept tweeting, ho, ho, ho it is magic like, get it yes, i get it. He is there with my mom and my sister who wants the to keep the picture. Forever forever. And he is so nice and his wife a great, great time. And so we did that, and al and i did the rose parade. E we were watching you. Flora and fauna weret ll over, and it was a great and al is such fun. And joel and me and al and 9 00 at the i love that. And we had a great time. T t i in the hotel room before we left. He is so cute. Right . And somebody said, he looks like he should be on a coinat. Which i loved. U you see, that is is a gold coin. Yes, a gold coin. Okay. It is new years resolution time. And one of my favorite things is that have you kept your new years resolution . Since i cant remember them, so i didnt. Most of them are the same ones like get organized and stop being a mess. Can say that you v ve not kept that. And that is threwn out of what did you have . And i went to texas over the holidays and my favorite thing is to go through the childhood bedroom and find my letters. And you have all of the was taken athere. And so one of the stuff that i found was my diary and it broke that she found it four years before and this diary is like fourth g t first year of 1991 it looks like. So i was 10 years old, and the first thing and i know you cant read it. Dear diary, happen new year. The first thing i wanted to do was four pound s s, and by the way i spelled it loes, so i needed to take up spelling. How old . 10 or 11. And you wanted four pounds. Yes, and it broke my heart. Why four . Whs thought that four was a god number, but that it habeen ofon the list since i was 10 years old. I have have a mom that is not doesnt talk about diets or ything. Where where did you get that some. I dont know. Maybenthe friends. Or subconsciously, and so i real iz d realized that no matter t is not going to be on my list and it has been on in some form or another in my list for 25 years. List, because ir ook a cycle, soul cycle with jenna, and i was not interested, but look at this. I want to little bit. That is Missy Elliott singing. That is from the soul cycle on 54th and you go into the class and crank up the music to loud that you cant hear, and turn down the lights so you cant see. You are like al alone. And one of the things of the study of how music motivates and soul cycle is so awesome, but if you dont have one, turn the lights out in the house, crank up the music and d ce around with the kids. And if the your husband will you, bvt mine is like, wh o . He doesnt . Well, last night i made him. And i tho that today was ygoing to be at the gym and today is e day, but it is not happening. It does say that mb and 25 hoping to lose 40 or more. And the common ones are to save more money, and shop less and eat more in home instead of go going out for meals, and that is making sense. So if you are in the dating world, and they said that last night single people were signing ike nevanerbefore, and it must be the super bowl of dating. Yes. And you reset ta that this is the year that you will meet somebody. Somebody said that you is have to visualize and i know it is funny, because i remember when i was looking to meet somebody. Single. And they said to write down the three traits that you are looking for in someone. I remember i wrote them down whatever they were and i folded them up, and i smushed them up, a little box, and they are still in the box. And does joel meet all thret e ofpa those . I dont remember what l i wrote down at the time, but it is one of the thing i wyll open it up and see that everything is go ing to work, but you have to metimes you say, i want to meet someone nice or cute. But i think th i a lot of details about the height and the weight and that junk. And you cant get too in my opinion the details of the first meeting. First of all, henry and im iny love with him hnd we have bn together for 11 years, but if i had met him a year earlier, i would have thought that i didnt want it a year ago, but he is what i wan for a lifelong partner and smart and solid. I also think that knowing it is going to h alway told my friends that are single, know it is going to happen, and visualize it. I tote ally will agree with you. This is nicknamed the bl date of matching of all year. And so, the there were major dating signs. And yosuf has he found somebody . Well, no, but girls were clicking and clacking on to e site. And the the time to mee het somebody. That is because the y have broke broken up over to the holidays. And loo look at that it is eva. H and who is cooking something . We watched it last nigoo and you were so funny in this thing. It is my fellow, texan. Yes, i love this girl. Io we are acousins, right, sonia. Who is your cousin . Her friend worked in the white house. And yes, she knew my mom. And so we r are all cousins ethere. And teresa giudice. Has it changemb well, she was released from prison, and there is the family kiddos, and they wished for all of the followers a happy new year, and her husband joe is supposed to be going to p son soon. And on that note and lee na leena dunham posted this selfie and said not her nttur ha tat, but she is trying her darnedest. She always talks about the positive body image. D she said my relationship with my body is kon constantly evolving, and you to move a little to be l king like the person you want to b. And so she does not have to be perfect or trying to be happy with who she is, because i will tell you. And when there is a confidence like that, yo it.
