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."
Marie Osmond: 'I Want To Be Healthy'
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."

Why are you folks being so mean? Adopted children are just as much her children as the ones from her womb. Why the Mormon-bashing? What are you guys so angry about? She's doing everything she can, she's asked for help where she's needed it. What is the purpose of blasting a single working mother who is trying to improve her life and puts her family first?

For those ignorant people who do not know their facts before they speak/type...Marie Osmond gave birth to 4 of her children and ADOPTED the other 4.

She is an inconsiderate pig to have 8 kids, guess she believes god wants her children to use the planet as their own personal garbage heap. Screw the planet, why not set an example instead of showing us how selfish and self absorbed Mormons can be. Oh, that's right, we get our reward in the afterlife,the earth is for exploition and making money. It's a shopping mall world and wildlife are soo unhygenic, we are better off without them.

What she NEEDS to do is to stop being a member of a cult and get her tubes tied. No guy with an ounce of self respect is going to marry a Mormon Chick with a kazillion kids.Damaged goods indeed.
