For the January cover of Oprah’s Magazine with the theme ‘The Year of You!, timing was everything.
To get these radiant shots, the O crew went to work in the dark, setting up at 5AM, so Oprah could greet the sunrise in the amphitheater on her property.
It was a challenging wake-up call, but at least the dress code was comfortable. “I could live in pajamas all day long,” says Oprah, who practices yoga and meditation regularly. Here’s a bit:
Oprah’s cheers for the new year:
“Now repeat after me: Here’s to good health. To the new year. To simply (or not so simply) deciding to be happy. To finally getting motivated.”
On why using Weight Watchers works for her:
I’ve wishy-washed with diets and exercise my whole life. Now I’m ready to go beyond the scale and declare a new way of being in the world. The folks at Weight Watchers called me in July and asked if I’d join their team—help spread the message about taking a holistic approach to health and fitness. For me, this was a perfect alignment. I was fed up with my lose-and-gain-again routine. I’d had enough of no-carb regimens. Some people can live without bread and pasta, but it just doesn’t make sense to me. All the times I tried to do so only made me crave them more. I wanted a plan for life, and here it was in the form of Weight Watchers. For me, this is not a diet. It’s a whole shift in perspective. So yes, for sure, I’m a bona fide convert.
