>> happy holidays! >> happy holidays. >> happy holidays. >> welcome back to "good morning america" and happy new year. of course, losing weight is one of the new year's resolutions topping the wish list of 2016. you among them, you don't need to. >> working out is important. >> i just lost 20 pounds. >> the magic of having a baby and being on tape. >> how do you get there feeling like you have triedt out. abc's mara schiavocampo is here with her own inspirational. >> i start off on a january weight loss journey four years ago. and this time, i succeeded. losing a total of 90 pounds. after realizing my issues with food couldn't be helped with dieting. for me, the joy of having my first child in 2011 came with the pain of being my heaviest

i struggled with my weight my entire life. i had to view certain food as drugs. frequently binges out of control. as i share in my book, i found the only way to get healthy was to be brutally honest about my trigger foods. all flour and dairy and then complete lyly doing away -- she also realized food was her fix. >> i gained 35 pounds from binge eating. i didn't recognize my own body because i had never looked like that in my life. first, i think it's enjoyable. then eventually it's real monkey on your back. >> reporter: nadia sought treatment and dropped the pounds. for so many of us, treating

losing weight and finding prix domestic. >> if first step simply is hope and surrender. hope that's there a poeblt i might change and number two, surrendering into a plan of action that involves real treatment for a real problem. >> so, how do you know if you might have a problem with binge eating? ultimately if you think you suffer from this issue you should talk to your doctor. so often, we're told weight loss is told it's about discipline and self-control. >> you did this once with your first baby. habits. difficult. good habits make it much more

>> you're spinning. >> every day. >> like you ginger i'm hoping to have a 25-pound baby. >> easiest weight loss. >> thank you, marya. now, let's go to amy. >> all right, girls, thank you here with some advice helping you to reframe your thinking of weight loss in the new year, dr. jennifer ashson. huge impact. >> no question, we heard from mara, , often, it's told your will power and discipline, that's not true. i look at things through a medical lens. we want to look good but it's what's going on inside your body. you want to focus on your priorities, perspective and plan. if you do that and really focus on the inside-out, everything else will fall into place. >> but first priority.

when you think about it as a pyramid, yes, we care about what everybody sees. your body needs good food, good fitness and on top of it is the mirror mirrorball. we do have that element of vanity, yeah, if you do all these things, what see on the outside will look good. >> the next "p" is perspective. >> this is so important. it's very easy to tend on focus just on what you're going through. you have to remember perspective. so look at this animation. if you imagine you're on the weight loss road or any kind of health changes you're trying to make, you feel alone, there are tons of people on that path also, it's really a process not just about the product. so, when you realize you're not alone i think it gives you that perspective. >> and finally, you got to have a plan.

and the body will follow the mind. when youe tnking about making these changes, set a meaningful goal. not i want to be a size whatever in my jeans. wayn't to be healthy, i want my cholesterol to drop six, ten points. anticipate obstacles, that's real life. don't let it derail you. lastly, you want to anticipate all of those things but be patient with yourself at the same time. this truly is about your inner health. >> well said. >> thank you. >> inspiring all. so, for so many of us this time of year is about family, friends and faith. i sat down with pastor joel osteen to get his perspective. >> thank you. it's a new year new beginning. how can you get your year off to

one of america's best preachers, dr. joel ostten is here to help us make the most of 2016, always good to be in your presence and see you, joel. >> thank you, robin. >> it's a new year, you get to start with a clean slate. >> it's a great time to let go of the old. i have learned, robin if you don't let go of the disappointments you won't receive the new things god has in store. we all look back, you got to clean the slate and god will give you a new beginning and there are a lot of things going on in the world. one of your recent messages, i appreciated you saying, the economy is up you're up. when the economy is down you're down. don't be that way.

day grateful, you find some reason to be alive. if you start the day off right, the new year off right, a better year for you. >> how often should parents talk to their children about what is going on in the world and to remain hopeful in the new year? >> yeah, i think we have to go back to explaining to kids sometimes it's hard with the shootings and tragedies. it's important to explain that god gives us all a choice. we got to be good, be examples of love and kindness, not go to the negativity and the bitterness. >> it's been wonderful to see families settle celebrating thiss season and so excited but i want to speak to those people who say, you know what, robin and joel, it's not a fun time for me. i miss my family and some people

new year coming out of the season, what do you say to those people? >> one thing is important, robin, if you're lonely, gone through loss, it's important to not sit at home by yourself, go out and be a blessing to someone else. if you get outside of your yourself and not just think my problems, my loneliness, my hurts, i think that pulls you down more. encourage someone to go out even if it's just opening a door for a stranger or baking a pie. >> something that you always have suggested, you said be concrete with what you want and put it up -- when i'm getting ready in the morning, those positive words are staring back at me. >> put up those positive affirmations around your housus i am blessed, i am strong. i'm grateful to be alive. sometimes that will remind us that every day is a gift from god.

never getet this new year back. >> to see those words to actually see them and something about it takes over. >> something in the inside of you. well, that's just mind over matter. it's more than that. it's part of your faith. if you're hearing i'm blessed, i'm strong, i'm creative. you start gravitating toward that way. >> in 2016 better get ready for the suddenly. >> in one second, god can turn anything around. just one touch of god's favor. just suddenly. >> suddenly i am. i am. you can tell i kind of read your books. hey, joel, always a blessing to see you and especially on this day as we start a new year and have new hopes and new dreams.

>> my pleasure. happy new year to you and all of the "good morning america" viewers. thank you so much, robin. time now for some "pop news." ladies, the first edition of 2016, again, it's only day one of the year, shaping up a big one for leo dicaprio, best actor in a drama for the portrayal of a fur trapper in a revenant. buzz is building that this could finally be leonardo's year to take home his first academy award. despite sub zero temperatures, leo would act for hours even while nearly emotionless and speechless.

out. colin fit for the king's speech. all proved to less is more. ginger, you're rooting very hard for leo -- >> robbed in titanic. ave a yay or the here, we had gilbert back then. i have so many leo stories >> he's been nominated five times for academy awards, never won. >> he's the susan lucci -- >> yes! >> when he gets it's going to go wild. >> i think people may assume because he's so young he got plenty of time. but a great role is a great role is a great role. and looking forward to seeing that. listen up, gentlemen, why you're passed up again for that promotion, if it makes you feel any better it may be because you're just too handsome. a study from the university of maryland show that good-looking

off for promotions by male bosses because they're seen as a threat. that's right, they're jealous. they get stuck in middle of the road posts. but the bosses don't want that competition. women, on the other hand, we actually for a change, positive news to report, we gotdon't get paid as much but we're not affected by looks in the work plple because competency and beauty aren't linked. finally, a little fun one to start your new year. this is oliver. and this is pig very hyperactive. hyperactive hog. it's called the zoomies.

>> they run in circle and they have to do things like this. if we could have camera after the third cup of coffee and i have seen amy running around the news desk with a mad case of the zoomies. we hope you have enough energy on this new year to do some zoomies. coming up, the hottest new trends for the new year.
