b"As the adage goes, \\u201cNine months on; nine months off.\\u201d It takes about 9 months to put on the baby weight during pregnancy, and roughly that amount of time to lose it. But for many women, it\\u2019s not that easy. I know I can relate after having my twins! Now imagine having the added pressure of being in the\\xa0spotlight on TV, which sadly does add 10 lbs, all while juggling life with a new baby.\\nToday, I\\u2019m interviewing someone who has done it all and more, Mara Schiavocampo. She\\u2019s a three-time Emmy Award winning correspondent for ABC News based in New York, chart-topping podcast host, and best-selling author of her memoir \\u201cThinspired,\\u201d which documents how she lost 90 pounds after her first child. Unbelievable! Mara is a longtime member of the National Association of Black Journalists. She lives in New York with her husband, two children, and their rescue dog.\\nShe\\u2019s here to tell us her story and give us some tips along the way.
