- 5:15Speaker 1: But okay, so when you say that, you know, like
- 5:17Speaker 1: I said, did you specifically choose a diet or you
- 5:20Speaker 1: just changed your eating habits? What was the what was
- 5:23Speaker 1: the number one reason for that weight loss? Well, since
- 5:29Speaker 1: someone had the name drop beget Oprah, yeah you wrong that?
- 5:36Speaker 1: Oh my god. W W Weight Conscious of course approached
- 5:42Speaker 1: me and as an ambassador and I was like, I
- 5:47Speaker 1: don't need to lose weight. And I was like, no,
- 5:49Speaker 1: you need to lose weight and what happened. It came
- 5:51Speaker 1: at a perfect time in my life that I could
- 5:54Speaker 1: focus on it, you know when it's a job. And
- 5:56Speaker 1: it was something that said I can inspire others and
- 5:59Speaker 1: make money. I was that was right up my alley,
- 6:02Speaker 1: and um, it really showed me how to live and
- 6:08Speaker 1: get healthy. It was it's a lifestyle situation. I heard
- 6:11Speaker 1: people say that, Oh, it's a lifestyle, you gotta know.
- 6:14Speaker 1: But like you, I always looked at you and you
- 6:17Speaker 1: always look good in the soup. But you were always healthy,
- 6:20Speaker 1: you were always fit and you look good. So you know,
- 6:24Speaker 1: I wanted to be that person. I'm still a tomboy though,
- 6:27Speaker 1: but I still you know, but I wanted to do that.
- 6:31Speaker 1: So weight watchers, Uh, well w W really helped me
- 6:35Speaker 1: do that. We really did. You know, what really is
- 6:38Speaker 1: what really is so good about it? Your your facial
- 6:40Speaker 1: skin looks amazing, it looks, it just glows. It's just
- 6:45Speaker 1: your your skin tone, your eyes, everything's your neck, all
- 6:50Speaker 1: those areas where you see let weight logs can like
- 6:53Speaker 1: really be a detriment because it shows really is complimenting
- 6:57Speaker 1: you because you know it looks great. Talk about that. Well,
- 7:01Speaker 1: thank you so much. You know, I'm a firm, a
- 7:05Speaker 1: really really firm believer in how you feel on the
- 7:07Speaker 1: inside will come out on the outside. So, um, a
- 7:11Speaker 1: lot of water is what they really make you drink. Um,
- 7:14Speaker 1: you stay hydrated, your skin is gonna look good. But
- 7:18Speaker 1: being happy on the inside, um, I think it comes
- 7:21Speaker 1: out because people are always like, You're always so happy.
- 7:23Speaker 1: I really try to maintain that because I like to
- 7:26Speaker 1: be an inspiration to so many people. Um. So I
- 7:30Speaker 1: think that's what And when I look good and feel good,
- 7:33Speaker 1: then I'm even happier. You know. It's it's an up
- 7:36Speaker 1: and down thing. You you know, even if I lost
- 7:38Speaker 1: thorty pounds, you know, I might have gained some back
- 7:41Speaker 1: right now, and now it's just I get back on
- 7:44Speaker 1: the journey. I mean I never stopped. But then you
- 7:45Speaker 1: have to you know, work out some more, drink some
- 7:48Speaker 1: more water. Um. So it's a constant, uh struggle because
- 7:52Speaker 1: it didn't take me this many years to get that size.
- 7:55Speaker 1: So it's not gonna be an overnight thing. And one
- 7:58Speaker 1: thing I'm a true believer. I tell people Tomorrow's gonna
- 8:02Speaker 1: coming for Lucky, Christmas is gonna come, Valentine's Day is
- 8:05Speaker 1: gonna come. You can make a choice. Do I want
- 8:07Speaker 1: to be where I am right now? And that day
- 8:10Speaker 1: is going to come, Valentine's Day's gonna come, Christmas gonna come.
- 8:13Speaker 1: I can say, you know what, I'm gonna be thirty
- 8:15Speaker 1: pounds where I am now, where I could be ten
- 8:17Speaker 1: pounds lighter, because it's gonna come anyway. You gotta eat slide,
- 8:21Speaker 1: but gonna just change it right. Well, you know, I
- 8:23Speaker 1: reason I'm very complimentary because like I said, you know,
- 8:26Speaker 1: certain people lose weight and they don't look like they
- 8:30Speaker 1: they don't look like they are you know, they lose
- 8:33Speaker 1: so much weight. You still look attractive. You still look
- 8:36Speaker 1: like Kim Whitley, and you look fantastic. I'm just saying,
- 8:39Speaker 1: you're just glowing now, you know, I see just this
- 8:42Speaker 1: next level of confidence in and Lord knows she's a
- 8:45Speaker 1: confident person anyway, but I just see but she's but
- 8:48Speaker 1: she just really at a point in life. I just
- 8:50Speaker 1: wanted to express my congratulations to you. And now that

- 17:01Speaker 1: the first time, you know, uh, put on the spot,
- 17:05Speaker 1: cooking on the spot. It was some things that didn't
- 17:07Speaker 1: go like they wanted to do. The world saw that.
- 17:10Speaker 1: So talk about that whole set up there because you

- 17:45Speaker 1: It was. It was a mess, and then you have
- 17:47Speaker 1: the judges. You know, they don't want to taste the stuff,
- 17:50Speaker 1: but they do want to take it was maybe we
- 17:53Speaker 1: were having problems. You know, it was a lot going on,
- 17:58Speaker 1: which actually made it for a good show. Absolutely, we
- 18:02Speaker 1: all like you wrote that uncertainty, but it you know,
- 18:05Speaker 1: let's let's go and be real about because you host,
- 18:07Speaker 1: so it's kind of like, you know, if you're the
- 18:09Speaker 1: circus and the elephants don't come out, then you got
- 18:11Speaker 1: a problem. You know what I'm saying, what the elephants that?
- 18:13Speaker 1: So you have to make sure the energy stays the same.
- 18:16Speaker 1: So you're a lot of pressure, Kim to host this show.
- 18:21Speaker 1: That's a lot. There was one. I mean one time,
- 18:24Speaker 1: I just I was like, uh, cut let me. I
- 18:27Speaker 1: got toxic producers. I was like I had to go
- 18:31Speaker 1: and whisper. I was like, uh, is he gonna be
- 18:33Speaker 1: all right? Or you know, because people were getting upset.
- 18:36Speaker 1: It was a lot. Now it's Christmas time, you know,
- 18:40Speaker 1: this is so what what what kind of what kind
- 18:42Speaker 1: of recipes or what type of food on trades or
- 18:46Speaker 1: desserts do we expect on this particular series of episodes
- 18:50Speaker 1: starting this week, all we're all that's right, starting this
- 18:54Speaker 1: with the favorite family recipes. There were were oh that's
- 18:58Speaker 1: my camera? Sorry, um so so I had to do that.
- 19:03Speaker 1: I just what happened sometimes is I get blurry because
- 19:06Speaker 1: I'm so beautiful that the world, the world can't take
- 19:10Speaker 1: my beauty. That would be my camera. I am so sorry.
- 19:16Speaker 1: Oh my god, how embarrassing. Oh my god, the world
- 19:20Speaker 1: call on beauty anymore? I'm so sorry. Usually and I
- 19:30Speaker 1: used this for me and share his podcast and I'm
- 19:33Speaker 1: gonna talk about that in a minute, because I want
- 19:34Speaker 1: to talk about my girl Sherry. The Single Mom podcast
- 19:40Speaker 1: there you goes back, there go cool. That face you
- 19:43Speaker 1: made brought it back. It didn't bring it back, you know.
- 19:48Speaker 1: But a lot of people, if we're talking about the
- 19:50Speaker 1: recipes that they bring, like mac and cheese, greens, you know,
- 19:55Speaker 1: the green beat, they I will tell you. I can
- 19:58Speaker 1: tell you this because we tell like they can make
- 20:01Speaker 1: it one of their own for one of the rounds.
- 20:03Speaker 1: Then we give them one to make and they have
- 20:05Speaker 1: to make it appetizing. Baby. When we telling all these
- 20:08Speaker 1: people green being castle roll, honey, I cats, black people
- 20:12Speaker 1: don't make green bean cassero because they all turned their
- 20:14Speaker 1: face up to us. So I know how to make
- 20:18Speaker 1: green bean cassero. I made it in college, green being googlesh,
- 20:21Speaker 1: So I can make that in the heartbeat, Okay. But
- 20:23Speaker 1: what I cannot do, Kim, is what they do. You know,
- 20:28Speaker 1: make it on the spot. I don't you know. You
- 20:30Speaker 1: gotta I gotta have my recipe. I gotta know all
- 20:34Speaker 1: that stuff. You know, that's because you learned that on
- 20:38Speaker 1: the Worst Cook episode. I don't know how this people
- 20:41Speaker 1: these people were cooking without the recipe. Yes, and that's
- 20:44Speaker 1: what part it makes it interesting, but also can be
- 20:47Speaker 1: frustrated because, as you know, too much salt changes the
- 20:51Speaker 1: recipe too much, you know, not enough water changes the
- 20:54Speaker 1: recipe of all your contested What was the most challenging
- 20:57Speaker 1: part of the show were balancing the just energy because
- 21:01Speaker 1: you gotta keep them engaged and then and then all
- 21:03Speaker 1: you have to stop them from going too far, you know,
- 21:06Speaker 1: with with comments and criticism. Talk about that. Wow, your
- 21:10Speaker 1: questions are difficult and interesting, you know. It was it
- 21:18Speaker 1: was the balance of wanting the contestants to still have
- 21:22Speaker 1: fun and be competitive and don't give up, and for
- 21:26Speaker 1: the judges not to be too judgmental, and for everyone
- 21:32Speaker 1: to have fun. That was the thing. It's a competition,
- 21:35Speaker 1: it's five thousand dollars, it's not the you know, in
- 21:38Speaker 1: all be all, it's some money. But to think of
- 21:42Speaker 1: it as an opportunity to just have a good time
- 21:46Speaker 1: and share your recipes. I think that was the hardest part.
- 21:49Speaker 1: And not not hurting anybody's feelings, That was It was
- 21:53Speaker 1: a difficult It was a tight rope right right. What
- 21:55Speaker 1: we're talking to Kim, She just starved This new television
- 21:58Speaker 1: series of food competition show on Network, The Big Holiday
- 22:02Speaker 1: Food Fight, but one of one of the I'm gonna
