On if she'll give marriage another chance: "It would have to be a miracle. I've been damaged, and when you go through two [marriages] -- and if you ask any woman who's been through it -- you give your heart so much, and then you're kind of like, oof. It's that fear of letting somebody in again."

On her current dating life: "I've had wonderful offers by many, many sweet people. And I don't mind going to dinner and things like that, but the peace comes from knowing my kids are okay first."

On why she wanted to lose weight: "Heart disease runs in my family, and I was feeling every symptom, and so it really made me go, 'Okay, how do I do this quick? How do I do this smart? How do I be healthy? I don't want to be skinny, I want to be healthy. And so I looked at all the options and, actually, I found NutriSystem. They didn't find me."

On how she landed the Nutrisystem commercial: "I was doing 'Dancing with the Stars,' and I guess the press found out I was on NutriSystem, and that's how the whole [commercial] thing happened."

On raising eight children: "The biggest thing for moms, and I know that everybody out there will agree, is that if your family isn't taken care of, if your kids aren't happy... you're not happy. And so it was really a methodical pacing to get it all put into play, and it's all starting to work now and gel, so it feels really good."
