Even through the knee operation and after that, she took the same healthier lifestyle on. But she could not go the gym immediately after the surgery in July.

She credits none other than her fellow sisters in weight loss and the fans, who've been continuously cheering her on for the motivation.

The app has a 24/7 access to a virtual coach and also features the "science-based SmartPoints system" that's personalized for your age, height, weight, and sex.

The breakfast consists of an egg, toast, and bacon, while eating the eggs without cheese to save SmartPoints. Her favorites are from ZeroPoint™ foods which has a list of variety of fruits to choose from.

In between meals, Tamela has a separate cabinet in the pantry so as to separate her snacks from the ones for her five kids and eight grandkids.
