No matter if it's 10 pounds or 100 pounds, losing weight is never an easy task. Losing weight while your husband is deployed overseas is most definitely not an easy task. Usually when deployed spouses come back from their time overseas, it's not uncommon for a wife to surprise 'em with their favorite meal that night or something thoughtful like a new couch for the man cave. Misty Shaffer surprised her husband Larry, who was just deployed for a year in Afghanistan, in a different way. She surprised him by losing more than 100 pounds. One. Hundred. Pounds. Holy, wow.

His reaction? Absolutely priceless.

Whoa! Have you seen this photo of Christina Aguilera's bangin' body in a sexy black outfit? Um, has she lost a ton of weight, or has she lost a ton of weight?!? Most people can't pull off wearing a bra as a top -- but Christina made it happen.

She shared the photo on Facebook, which was taken while she was shooting a music video with Alejandro Fernandez. And as a mom who has had her own ups and downs with weight over the years -- it's highly obvious what kind of reaction Christina was hoping to get out of people with this particular photo.

Weight loss isn't exactly the easiest thing. It's annoying. You have to come to terms with the fact that you're fat (it sucks, believe me, I know) and then you have to put all this effort forward making changes to your comfortable, luscious lifestyle so you can live a healthier, better one. For instance, you have to swap out your double-decker peanut butter and jelly lunch sandwich (what, was that just me?) for some sort of grilled chicken salad concoction. Seriously, where's the fun in that?

Clearly, losing weight is a taxing struggle as it is. However there are ALWAYS people that make it harder. You know, the people that think that they're helping when they're absolutely not? Those naggers who think they have your best interest in mind, but everything they're saying makes you want to strangle them?

Here, let me give a few words to the wise. Check out the 10 things NEVER to say to someone trying losing weight:

Sure, we all heard of Shakira before she joined The Voice as a judge. Heck, I loved her "Hips Don't Lie" back in the day and couldn't understand HOW she got her hips to do all that swiveling. But these days as a judge on the hit show, the Latina is making some serious waves and her name is absolutely everywhere. Personally, I can't get enough of her bubbly personality and, shoot, for a 36-year-old mother of one, the lady looks amazeballs. Seriously, how she lost all that baby weight for her gig on The Voice within five months of giving birth to her beautiful boy is BEYOND me!

Lucky for us, we have the inside scoop on Shakira's three biggest secrets for weight loss. Getting in shape never sounded so fun!

You probably don't realize that all the things you do every day, getting the kids ready for school, shopping, playing scary blanket monster, are helping you burn some serious calories! So no more complaining you don't have time for the gym, K? Check out some typical mom activities and the amazing caloric payoff:

Looks like Farrah Abraham really is on a mission to be overexposed -- in more ways than one. Right on the heels of her Vivid sex tape's release, the Teen Mom star has signed a deal to be the spokesperson for a "diet and fat-loss pill" called Raspberry Tones. In turn, she's gonna score a paycheck in the low six figures. It's unclear whether or not the company tapped Farrah before or after porn tape went public ... TMZ was told it was the bikini photos that surfaced last month that piqued their interest. Either way, they seem happy to have her shill for them.

A rep for the company told TMZ, "Farrah represents a growing audience of young, active people who take care of their health and use only natural products to look and feel great. Farrah looks fit and fabulous and takes care of her body, and a lot of health-conscious people can look up to that." Oookay ...

Now that wedding season is in full swing, advice for brides is unavoidable. Of course one of the most common topics -- apart from DIY decor and etiquette dos and don'ts -- is the pre-Big Day slimdown. How should brides be getting fit to walk down the aisle? Because, after all, as fitness and lifestyle expert Amanda Russell tells Us News & World Report, "The big moment of the whole day is ... they open those doors," and ... well, there's a reason the song is called "Here Comes the Bride." You know, no pressure or anything!

Okay, sure, you want to look your best. But now that my own Big Day has come and gone, I can confidently say I'm proud of how I maximized my fitness over the last six months to look and feel my best (and be four sizes smaller than when I started!) when "those doors" opened. Here, five significant steps I took to get fit to wed that could work for anyone, whether you're about to tie the knot or not ...

Even before he stepped into the spotlight during Hurricane Sandy and made headlines for -- gasp! -- befriending President Obama, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has been buzzed about as a potential presidential contender for the Republican ticket in 2016. Given the magnitude of buzz, it's hard not to envision Christie vs. Hillary Clinton when thinking about who may be running three years from now. But many have been clucking for a while now that there's no way Christie can become POTUS, given his own "magnitude."

Enter a possible gamechanger and proof he's totally in it to win the White House: He secretly underwent lap-band stomach surgery, the governor revealed to The New York Post last night. He says he did it at the urging of family and friends after his 50th birthday last September. In other words, he's not saying trying to lose weight has anything to do with a presidential campaign, but pfft, come on!
