<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong><span class="preset_health"> </span></strong></em>Mel B put her body, confidence and personal vices on the public line when she signed up to be a <a href="http://www.jennycraig.com.au" target="_blank">Jenny Craig</a> Celebrity Ambassador. But rather than flout unachievable health plans, the X-Factor judge became a role model that resonated with Australian women struggling to maintain a healthy weight. Here, she reveals her food weaknesses, the strategies she uses to maintain a healthy fitness regime, and how the support she received was pivotal in her quest to get back to a healthy weight.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span class="preset_health">Here, Mel shares some of her tips and strategies...</span></strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Favourite workout? </strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">"Going for a hike with my friends or my family. I get the added bonus of working out and getting to spend quality time with people I love!"</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Next fitness goal?</strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">"My next goal is to get more definition in my thighs. It's always been the hardest to achieve for me."</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Best snack from Jenny Craig to curb cravings? </strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">"Lately I have been carrying a packet of the dry roasted nuts on me all the time. They are a quick snack that helps to curb any cravings, while giving you a much needed boost of protein."</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>If you are feeling like a naughty treat, what is your healthy option that you go for?</strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">"70% dark chocolate or the Jenny Craig Choc Nut Bar."</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>My last meal would be...</strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">"A proper British Sunday Roast with all the trimmings, Yorkshire pudding, stuffing, everything. Every once in a while it's good to give yourself a bit of a cheat day. It allows you to follow a regimen, but not feel like you're missing out and subsequently falling off the wagon."</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://womenlove.health/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/mel-b-other.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-30040" src="https://womenlove.health/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/mel-b-other.jpg" alt="mel-b-other" width="750" height="440" /></a></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Who has the best body in showbiz?</strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">"Hmm that's a tough one, right now I'd have to say J-Lo. Her body is fierce!"</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Favourite song to work out to right now? </strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">"Anything by Iggy Azalea or my classic drum and bass by Goldie, his first album."</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The most awkward thing that's ever happened to you in a gym is</strong>...</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">"I got asked for a picture with a fan after I had a really intense workout. I was all sweaty and felt bad for sweating on her! So embarrassing!"</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>What is your favourite aspect about the Jenny Craig program? </strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">"The support! My consultant Michelle, my 'Jenny', was so supportive and really kept me on track and accountable. I don't think I could have done it without her."</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Exercise in the morning or night? </strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">"I prefer morning. When I work out in the morning, it gives me this boost of energy like I can take on the world. Then again a night work out is a great way to get out your frustrations of the day and tire yourself out for bed."</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Sweet or savoury? </strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">"Definitely savoury."</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Favourite Jenny Craig meal?</strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">"Right now, I'd have to say the crumbed fish and wedges. It almost feels like I am having a bit of cheat day."</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span class="preset_health">Check out </span><a href="http://www.jennycraig.com.au" target="_blank">Jenny</a></strong><strong><a href="http://www.jennycraig.com.au" target="_blank"> Craig</a> <span class="preset_health">for more information on their programs.</span></strong></p>
