"  I first became interested in working out while attending college in Nashville, TN. The weather was perfect for walking and there was a small, non-intimidating aerobics studio called Exercise Plus where my friends and I would gather in our spandex. At Exercise Plus, we were inspired and challenged by an instructor named Bob, who would come up with the most fun aerobics routines. Now, Bob is motivating a team of obese people, as well as millions of viewers and fans, on the hit show The Biggest Loser. Friday afternoon, I had the thrill of reconnecting with Bob here at the Good Housekeeping Research Institute where he stopped by for a visit with me and the GH Health Director, Toni Hope. We all chatted about the importance of a healthy lifestyle and traded secrets about how we find balance in our lives. One tip Bob doesn&amp;#039;t want to keep hush-hush is the fact that even dieters can enjoy about six servings of grains each day. Whole grains (such as brown rice, whole wheat bread, and whole wheat pasta) are my first choice, but even enriched, refined grains (like white bread, crackers, and rice) provide an important source of nutrients, like folic acid and b-vitamins.  Although this was the first time in almost twenty years that I came face to face with Bob, I had another pseudo-encounter with him last year when scientists at GHRI quizzed the Biggest Loser contestants to test their diet, nutrition, and fitness knowledge on a special segment of the show. You can test your smarts, too, plus learn more about what happens off camera, and read about the contestants&amp;#039; challenges, along with some helpful advice that my co-workers and I shared with them.
