cholesterol levels and someone on facebook posted her sugar levels were down so she took less insulin so it's about overall wellness. >> nashira, let's talk about your struggles with your weight. you said you wanted to do this fast and dr. ian said whoa, ease up a bit. tell us about your struggles. >> i was looking to lose 14 pounds on the cleanse but when i started in may, 2014 i lost an average of 60 pounds. >> we're looking at the pictures, before and after there. >> 60 pounds she's done. >> was it ease any hard? >> it was hard. it had challenges. eating vegetables wasn't easy. >> were you not a vegetable eater? a couple of my kids don't even touch vegetables. >> i wasn't a vegetable eater at first but now i love vegetables. >> how did that happen? do you find substitutes like

some people eat mushrooms instead of meet? >> supreme to open their palates and their minds and when people try things they thought they didn't like they realize wow, that's not bad. this is not about short term, though you lose a lot of weight in the shoerp, it's about long-term and life-style behaviors. we have a shred purple smoothie challenge we want people to join. we have 12,000 people who are supporting each other, exchanging recipe, helping each other and on facebook but it's about support and that's why people are successful. >> dr. ian, do you find what nach e nach nachera did is common? they want to lose 50 pounds in a week or something? >> one of the biggest is unrealistic expectations. i say dial it back, let's hit smaller benchmarks and get to the big goal down the road. be people set big goals, they don't get them and get discouraged so psychologically they're out of the game.

so with the shred plan we help you go along three, four, five pounds. before you know it you're down 60, 50 pounds and they're new people. >> i heard you use the term life-style. is ha what it is? it's about making it a part of who you are? >> we want people to realize you don't want to be on a diet or cleanse forever. still have fun, still have your fun food, that's okay. this isn't about restricting you but we want you to do it on balance. >> how important is exercise to the entire program? >> any program that says there's no exercise necessary is being dishonest. you have to exercise. but you don't to live in a gym. 40 minutes a day and break it up 20, in the morning 20, at night, some exercise is critical. >> you've done this for a year now. has it become a part of life-style now? >> absolutely. >> tell me some of the new normals now as opposed to what you used to do back when you were heavier? >> i learned how to portion my

food. >> portion control is important. >> that's a big thing. i learn how old to drink more water and eat more fruits and vegetables. >> and prepare. today she has her protein shake with her because it's about preparation. people leave the house without thinking about what they deal that day and they start grabbing things that are convenient and typically those convenience things are in vending machines and not healthy. >> i find when i go to an event and they have the saucers, i'll put a few things on there but put me in front of a big plate, lights out, man. we appreciate so much your coming in. here's the book once again called the shred power cleanse, you have to pick it up and go read this, make it a part of your life-style. we want to look like you, that's the ultimate goal. >> stay in the fight. >> thank you so much. we appreciate your coming in. thanks a lot, guys. turning to weather now.

>> we started off the week a bitter chill but things are warming up slowly. a lot of clouds except in the pocono mountains. like wallenpaupack, we have sunshine there. one of the few places to see it. we're going back into the 50s and we'll see rain over the weekend clouds aren't thick. is there isn't any rain around. it feels like 40 because there's no wind. is 32 in reading, lancaster, 36 in trenton. 38 in mount holly. there are some places that will have a struggle getting to 40

degrees. farther to the south, dover, glassbo glassboro, atlantic city, upper 40s during the afternoon. and into the 50s starting tomorrow. it's only one degree warmer in allentown but 10 degrees warmer in dover and atlantic city. some places warming up more than others but no place is reporting any kind of rain despite those clouds. there is moisture in the middle of the country. some of that will be moving our way, unlike some of the rain that has fallen in that area over the last month. a lot of that didn't quite come here irk see cloud cover, maybe breaks overnight but clouds from multiple directions so tomorrow will be a cloudy day and so will saturday. so will sunday. friday night we could see a few showers around, nothing too heavy and too warm for any kind

of snow, for example, there's saturday with a few showers but saturday is the drier of the two days because watch what happens. saturday night things start to increase and by sunday morning we're getting slammed by heavy rain. at least most of the computer models are showing that but it's also not going to rain all day sunday. best chance of dry weather is sunday afternoon. computer models showing it occurring saturday night into sunday morning. some places getting up to an inch in northern areas. today cloudy, chilly. some places like lehigh valley may not get into 40s. then for tomorrow stay into the mid-40s, despite a lot of clouds. maybe a couple showers friday night into saturday. a lot of rain saturday night into sunday morning baby sunday

afternoon we can get temperatures well into the 50s. even near 60. but no way on monday. we have another arctic blast on the way and we'll be right back. that sound. like nails on a chalkboard. but listen to this: (family talking) that's a different kind of sound. the sound of the weekend. unleash the power of dough. give it a pop. it's always worth remembering... that icing the cinnamon rolls is a privilege not a right. unleash the power of dough. give it a pop.

guidelines they update every five years. for the first time, the government suggests americans limit the amount of added sugar to 10% of daily calories. that's about 12 teaspoons for a typical 2,000 calorie diet. guidelines people cut back on salt and saturated fat but not necessarily cholesterol. experts say dietary cholesterol doesn't greatly influence blood cholesterol in most people. there's a common virus few of us know exists but when it affects pregnant women their baby may be at risk. one family know this is too well and is working to spare others from this tragedy. bow kn nbc's bonita zahn has the report. >> reporter: two and a half-year-old twins sofia and lincoln katz are active, inquisitive and happy. but there's a distinct difference with how hay communicate. lincoln speaks, sophie signs. >> sophie, what 's this? >> reporter: early in michelle katz' pregnancy, she was exposed to cmv virus, a common virus

affecting upwards of 80% of us by the time we're 40. generally there are no symptoms so you never realize you've been infected and once you've had it you can't catch it again. but when a pregnant woman contracts cmv for the first time it can pass on to the developing fetus with potentially devastating consequences. >> they're burn with torn with causing problems with their brain development around other nervous system problems. >> now lincoln escaped trouble but sophie's hearing was affected. she repeatedly failed her newborn hearing test. because the katz were living in utah, those failed tests required screening for cmv. it was a lucky break. sophie was diagnosed early and treated with anti-viral medication. >> if she hadn't been treated she almost certainly would have lost the rest of her hearing, potentially further cognitive
