people develop new habits so they can live this for a lifestyle. i wanted to give them the recipe. it's a 28-day program. you have 28 days of working out. you have to burn the calories, lose the weight. 28-day meal plans and recipes. you have scripture. you need to be motivated. it's not easy. >> no. >> there are testimonials. you're not in this alone. i think it's helpful to read about others that can inspire you. and then there's a song of the daylove it. >> just to keep you invigorated. >> the plan is all here. you're right, sometimes you feel, if i had a bad day or good day, you think you need a cookie. but if you get a good word. tell us why you're in town. >> i served on the president's council with president bush and i've had the opportunity to

serve with president obama the last four years. i serve with honor and humility. because i know we have a health crisis. we can no longer take our health for granted. our body is our temple. my goal is to really help people to have that transforming, renewing of their mind. because when you change your thinking, your actions will follow. >> right. >> and you're not going to change until you get to the point where you're like, enough is enough. i'm sick and tired. when you get there, that's when you really have to have that will power to say you know what, i got to do it for me. i love me. i've got to learn how to love and respect and take care of my body. >> would that be the affirmation you could pass on for those who are like, i cannot do this. is there a take home? >> it really talks about how you have to stop doing nothing and start doing something. stop with the excuses and make better choices. use your faith.

to get involved. there's an active lifestyle award. >> yes. >> can everybody complete? >> everybody can join. it's just 50 minutes, 60 minutes of activity for kids 18 and under. for 18 and over, it's only 30 minutes. five days a week, six weeks. and at the end you get a certificate signed by president obama. it's getting you into the daily routine of this is my temple, and i have to take better care of it. it's spiritual and mental. and it's financial. if you're not healthy, your shuns cost -- insurance costs go up. even at work, if the corporation is paying heavy for premiums, then you're not going to be as productive. you won't get the promotion or raise you deserve because of your health. even when you go to the movies, it's going to cost more. sometimes they charge you for two seats, if you fly, you know, overweight, they'll charge you for two seats.

it is something that we have got to do better, and i'm here to help people to be strong and lean. are you ready, allison to be a witness to fitness? >> here we go. >> give me love. can we get up? >> we have to go. we'll be right back. >> that's it. come on, here we go. squats. work it out. >> go, go, go. come on, tony, let's go, tony.     f0

brisk day. 30 in gaithersburg. 34 in frederick. looking at the winds, picked up out of the north and west. another reason we're locked in the cool today. winds north and west here in washington 18. 18 up in winchester. 14 annapolis. breezy day as we're in the wake of this storm system from yesterday. but look at that, haven't looked at clear skies around the area, literally in a week. nice quiet afternoon setting up. had a few couple of light snow flurries and snow showers early today. those have dissipated. with high pressure to the west building in today, saturday and sunday all look great. moderating trend with temperatures by tomorrow, temperatures back in the mid- 40s. sunday looks good, too. big cooldown in time for the inauguration monday. temperatures much cooler here monday. 39 today. mostly sunny skies. breezy at times. 30 tonight. clear skies. cold overnight. winds out of the south 5 to 10. and there's your accuweather seven-day forecast, mid-40s saturday and sunday. monday's high only 37, with a

>> good morning. >> now it's my turn. >> yes. >> i'm happy to welcome you back to the fox 5 studios. >> thank you. >> how do we keep lint off the black jeans? >> well, to be honest, we use these in the earlier segment, so i was going to show you they give off lint, and i looked down at my jeans and went, there's lint. >> on your black jeans. >> it depends on my jeans. we call blue jeans jeans, but feel this material. it's not denim. it's a different type. i bet hers is like this. and it does collect the lint. obviously, the obvious hint is, to use a lint brush. >> yeah. >> forgive me, i have allergies. i'm not sick. take duct tape or sticky tape, with the sticky side out, and you can do this. or-- now i have to do this.

you could use a micro fiber cloth. >> oh. >> it acts like -- >> look at that. >> it acts like a lint brush. >> yeah. >> this is really the best way. >> you wash that like a normal cloth? >> you do. you must be careful, because it collects things. micro fiber cloths collect and hold. you wash this with things that do not give off lint. otherwise, it will collect the lint. >> there are things that don't give off lint? too many questions. can we buy one of those handy heloise cloths? >> not the ones that say heloise. they're fabulous in big box stores. you need one. i'm trying not to clean it. >> they tell me this is to prevent the glare. that's what they tell me. i don't know. >> i've cleaned the spots for you. >> the second question comes from carol. we wash our linens regularly,

will you the lint traps always gets full. when do fabrics stop shedding, if ever? >> it agains on the fabric. when she says linens, if the sheets and pillowcases shed like that, they're going to continue to shed. it depends on how it's actually made. if they're made a certain way, it's one piece of thread. many times they're little fibers. you'll see this. it is going to continue to shed. this is nothing you can do for linens. now, if you have -- i did something in good housekeeping and it was a similar question. a woman had a jacket she loved. it's going to shed. i said you know what you can try, because i've done it, is the fabric spray that is used to waterproof fabrics, that you buy at the sporting goods store -- >> sure. >> -- it puts a fine layer on there, and that might help it prevent shedding. but you can't do that on bed

linens. >> it's why we have the lint collector in our dryer. >> i'll be talking about it today and tomorrow at the home improvement center at the dulles expo center. please clean that lint trap every time. >> okay. >> the majority of home fires that start start from the dryer because the lint trap has not been cleaned or the exhaust. get in the habit of every time before you throw the load in, pull the lint trap, you can use a micro fiber cloth, take a brush, anything to get rid of that. >> clean it. you're the best. that's why i wanted you to stick around and you graciously did. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> the information where you can get this is myfoxdc.com. we'll be right back.

said something. if you were offended, however, i'm truly sorry and i hope my 15 years at channel 5 with all the reports, and the character i've exhibited during that time speaks for itself. we're here to talk about the preps and one of those signature events. we thought it would be fun to take you behind the scenes. this is where the action is really going on, and where they are all getting ready and where i find norinne fuller, and mary stevens, the fashion design director for fidem, is that how you say it? >> fidem. >> reporter: here we are, this is the real workings of the events. >> we're back stage and this is where all the models will

dress. this is where we'll organize everything. they'll come out through those doors and go out to the runway. >> reporter: for people who aren't familiar with the fashion institute of design and merchandizing, you're doing fun things here. >> these are from special projects we have done. this year, we have done 10 ball gowns and this is one of them. it's from the advanced fashion design students. and they were mentored by kevin hall, a well known designer. in the past we did a special project when the kings brought out their new jersey, they said could we do something fun, and this is one of them. we presented them on the ice, the hockey team. >> reporter: that's fun. >> at the hockey game. this is one of barbie's wardrobe. this is the front, and this is
