Good morning, alex. Reporter hey, good morning, robin. This deep freeze has had a tight grip for many days now. Take a look. You can see the steam rising from Lake Michigan here in this cold. It takes just a few minutes outside for it to become very dangerous. The new year off to a brutally cold start. Subzero temps cold enough to freeze part of the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of delaware. And creating dangerous driving conditions. This vehicle crashing into icy waters in connecticut. In indianapolis, a woman rescued from the top of her car after it sank ten feet into an icy pond. Report of an suv fully submerged. Reporter shes now in critical condition. In texas, a Police Officer slipping on a frozen highway nearly hit by an oncoming car and a whiteout in michigan leading to this multicar pileup. In st. Paul, minnesota, ten people rushed to the hospital with Carbon Monoxide poisoning believed to be caused by a faulty boiler. The bitter cold conditions impossible for battling fires. In nebraska, negative 10 degree temperatures instantly turning the spray into ice. Firefighters in d. C. Forced to use flares to thaw their extension ladders. And we want to give you an idea of just how cold it is outside. This is a hard boiled egg. We left it out overnight and take a look. This is a nail right here, and you can see its frozen solid. You can use it almost as a hammer. Thats just how cold it is outside. Officials say if you dont have to be outside, dont. Stay inside. Robin. Wow. Thank you. Ginger, this cold is not going away any time soon and there is another storm on the way. Yes and its how prolonged the cold has been. So many of us subfreezing or subzero in some spots since christmas day. Look how deep the cold goes. Midland, texas, 18, all the way to the gulf coast, louisiana, look at this frozen fountain. That gives you the picture of just how cold it is and how far this reaches but, yes, that next storm, robin, starts tonight through tomorrow and there are winter storm watches that begin in florida. Lake city, florida, all the way up the coast, charleston and wilmington included there. Its an ocean storm but the proximity to how close it gets to the coast is going to depend help you depend on how much snow youll end up getting. I can promise you wind, snow and ice, coastal north and South Carolina through the midatlantic wednesday into thursday. Again eastern massachusetts, rhode island and, of course, parts of connecticut going to pick up some of the heaviest snow totals but we have to watch this thing because every ten miles is going to make a huge difference, robin and george. Theres just no relief. No. Were going to move on now to that nationwide computer outage thats caused trouble at airports all across the country. Look at these lines at customs at the end of the Holiday Travel rush and Abcs David Kerley is at Dulles Airport with the latest. Good morning, david. Reporter good morning, george. The latest wave of arrivals coming in now from customs. Less than 12 hours ago, at airports across the country, a rude welcoming to the new year for travelers who those Customs Computers went down, and lines and waits got long. The lines grew long from miami to seattle when those computers went down. Angry, tired. Frustrated. Worst airport ever. Terrible. Reporter those customs kiosks not working according to some passengers. Nobody seems to know whats going on. Reporter meaning all International Travelers coming into the u. S. , many returning home, had to get in line, thousands of them and thats why those lines grew so long. By the time we arrived they said for two hours the system was down so hundreds of people were just waiting and waiting. Reporter the twohour outage started at 7 30 last night. A customs and Border Protection spokesperson saying officers had to use backup procedures to screen all those arriving from overseas. The outage coming on new years day. A day with heightened security. I would hope, i mean being from u. S. They will have a backup plan when Something Like that goes wrong. Reporter in a statement the agency says the officers were able to Access National security databases and process travelers, quote, as quickly as possible while maintaining the highest levels of security. The frustrating thing was that nobody told us anything, why we were waiting. Reporter customs and Border Protection says it has no reason to believe something malicious caused its Processing System to shut down. But this is not the first time this has happened. Customs and Border Protection has not told us whether last nights shutdown was related to the earlier ones. Were still waiting for word on that, george. But thank goodness theyre able to solve it. Okay, david, thanks very much. Turning to that new threat from north korea. Its leader sending a mixed new years message claiming he has a Nuclear Button on his desk with the entire u. S. In range, but also opening the door to dialogue with south korea. Martha raddatz is tracking the latest from washington. How is the u. S. Responding this morning . Reporter good morning, robin. President trump who has in the past talked of fire and fury had an uncharacteristically muted response saying simply well see but trump is well aware of north Koreas Nuclear capabilities and while kim jongun may not have an actual Nuclear Button sitting on his desk, north koreas ability to hit the u. S. With a Nuclear Weapon increases every day. I spoke to the former chairman of the joint chiefs admiral mike mullen on this week who said he believes we are closer to a nuclear war with north korea than we have ever been, robin. Kim also going on to say that they may talk with south korean delegation about possibly sending a team to the olympics . Reporter exactly, and south korea says this morning that by proposing highlevel talks with north korea next week there on the border, theyll meet with them, they say they share that border and talk about whether north korea could be part of the Winter Olympics next month. South korea has been uncomfortable with Donald Trumps fiery rhetoric and wants to ease tensions, but that could dilute trumps message of force and his insistence that north korea give up its Nuclear Program before any talks could be held but, robin, there is little doubt this will be President Trumps number one Foreign Policy challenge this year. Little doubt. All right. Martha, thank you. Could be driving a wedge between the u. S. And south korea. Overseas deadly protests in iran overnight. Sixth straight day of clashes between Security Forces and antigovernment protesters who have drawn support from President Trump. Our chief Foreign Correspondent terry moran is tracking the latest from london. Good morning, terry. Reporter good morning, george. These are stunning developments in iran, a nemesis of the u. S. For decades, a major sponsor of terrorism and unrest throughout the middle east now being rocked with the biggest protest there in almost a decade and theyre spreading. Overnight, nine more were killed in clashes with police according to Iranian State television. The death toll is now at least 20 since those protests began last thursday and on social media were seeing extraordinary scenes in this tightly controlled country, burning buildings and cars, broken windows, crowds refusing to disperse. These protests began with economic demands but as they spread, some of the streets are now calling for the downfall of the regime itself and in response, a hard line. Irans Supreme Leader this morning accused, quote, enemies of iran of fomenting unrest while President Trump, as you say, has tweeted his support for the protests declaring, quote, it is time for change in iran. Any sense of how serious the threat to the regime this is, terry . Reporter well, the sense right now is that they are responding in such a hard line way, they are frightened. Were hearing while theyre spreading geographically theyre not enormous. You arent seeing hundreds of thousands or millions on the street yet. Okay, terry moran, thanks very much. George, President Trump is facing those tensions in north korea and iran as he prepares for the year ahead returning to washington last night and now setting the agenda for 2018. Our senior White House Correspondent cecilia vega is there in washington and, cecilia, whats topping the president s to do list . Reporter hes feeling good coming into 2018 fresh off that tax victory. At the end of the week hell meet with Mitch Mcconnell and paul ryan to map out the years legislative agenda. So right out of the gate they want to tackle infrastructure. Were told the president is pushing for at minimum a 200 billion program to fix things like the nations roads and airports. The president has called infrastructure the easiest of all to achieve. Also on this to do list, welfare reform. The president wants to overhaul the welfare system and, of course, they have this issue with daca still, those undocumented immigrants who came to the country as young children. Robin, all of this as those midterms are right around the corner, republicans really looking to keep their hold here in washington. Midterm will be here before we know it. Thank you. Lets get more from matthew dowd and, matthew, we heard some of the items on President Trumps agenda right there but theres also so much Unfinished Business from last year, all the spending bills left over from last year, the Childrens Health insurance program. They got the tax bill passed at the end of the year, put up a lot of tough decisions for january. Yeah, absolutely. They have a whole bunch of things that need to get done not only politically but for the country as a whole as we have seen in the planes, trains and automobiles. The difficulty the republicans face is theyre in a very bad year. Akin to jacksonville playing in the sun and then having to play up in buffalo in the winter. Theyre moving into the winter in 2018. Their margin in the senate as of tomorrow goes from four to two and theres a democratic wave building in the course of 2018, so though the needs are great the opportunities are few in an Election Year like a midterm with the democrats doing well. It would suggest with just a onevote margin in the senate the only real option to get anything done is bipartisanship but that is going to be so difficult given the stand that President Trump has taken, especially on that border wall. I think theres a huge opportunity for the president to demonstrate like he did on the debt ceiling when he compromised with nancy pelosi and Chuck Schumer where his numbers actually went up but the problem is, the more he compromises the more he makes republicans vulnerable in their own primaries so it helps in a general election, but it hurts in a primary and now the democrats have no incentive with this wave as i say building to not surf that wave and try to obstruct everything that the president wants to do. Challenging year ahead. Matt dowd, thanks very much. Now to the investigation into that vacation tragedy this costa rica. A charter plane crashing killing all 12 people on board including two american families. Federal investigators are on the scene this morning and abcs gio benitez is here with the latest. This is an unbelievably tragic accident. Unbelievable, robin. Good morning to you, a sad one. The families were on vacation, before that plane crashed into a wooded area leaving no survivors. Reporter this morning, investigators search for clues on what caused the accident that took ten american lives, including two families on vacation and a tour guide. Irene steinberg was on vacation with her husband bruce and three sons, william, zachary and matthew, the closeknit family loved to travel the world together. I have to tell you the only comfort from talking to our other friends is that they were all together and they will be together. Theyll be together forever. Reporter according to a witness the plane was in the air about a minute after takeoff before it seemed to do a cartwheel then a nosedive. Hanna weiss was one of those victims, a sophomore at Columbia University traveling with her parents and her 16yearold brother. Her friend telling us she will be greatly missed. Not having her in our lives is going to be just its unfathomable. Reporter 33yearold Amanda Geisler was in her first year as a personal vacation leader for back roads. Her family said in a statement she lived her life with no regrets. Oh, my god. Reporter the small plane crashing just minutes after takeoff on new years eve. The cause still a mystery but officials now say wind may have played a role. Abc news learning the aircraft was operated by the local airline nature air and was similar in size to this one. Its the largest carrier in costa rica and has a good safety record. The faa finding that costa rica upholds strict safety standards, ones almost as high as the u. S. But experts warn to be cautious when flying with smaller carriers youre not familiar with, especially in foreign countries. And they say dont be afraid to cancel if anything appears unsafe, including ominous weather. And the airline could not be reached for comment but the touring Company Tells abc news theyre extremely heartbroken and working with the local authorities to understand the cause of the crash. Everybody wants to know that. You know, people on vacation want to take these types of flights. What are other things they can do to stay safe . Experts told us you need to look for these planes with multiple engines and look for them with multiple pilots and those pilots should be seasoned pilots with at least 2,000 hours, flight hours in that area. All right. Gio, thanks. Such a sad story. Were going to switch gears now, big change for miss america. Former winner Gretchen Carlson who led the charge against Sexual Harassment at fox news has been chosen to chair the pageant after its own harassment scandal becoming the first miss america to lead the organization. Abcs linsey davis with the story. Good morning, linsey. Good morning, george. I cant sing so ill spare you, but here she is, miss americas new chairman, Gretchen Carlson.

Miss america reporter for the first time ever, a woman is in charge of the miss america organization. Miss america is Gretchen Carlson. Reporter former fox news anchor and miss america 1989 Gretchen Carlson, confirmed her new role with this tweet saying, honored to move this Iconic Program forward with so many amazing volunteers.

Reporter in an open letter 50 former winners spoke out about the culture of abuse at miss america and demanded that haskell step down. Carlson is no stranger to this culture of abuse, saying she experienced it firsthand at fox news. You fear youre not going to be believed. Youll lose your job.

But we were screaming on the plane. Everyone hated us. Its been decades since theyve been in a championship situation. Long overdue and im going to be in atlanta next week, let me just say this.

Next Mega Millions drawing is tonight. That will keep you nice and warm if you win that. But first this half hour, were going to begin with the new movement. Its called times up. It is bringing more than 300 hollywood women together to help people across all industries to help fight Sexual Harassment in the industry. Well speak with two of the founders in a moment. First you have details. We know me too got the conversation started but now times up is Offering Solutions to battle Sexual Harassment and to create change at workplaces across the country for all women. Reporter this morning, alist actresses like reese witherspoon, Nicole Kidman and jennifer lawrence, joining forces with behindthescenes power players like scandal executive producer Shonda Rhimes to fight Sexual Harassment in tinseltown and beyond. The coalition of more than 300 women calling itself times up taking out a full page ad in newspapers including the New York Times writing, now unlike ever before our access to the media and to important Decision Makers has the potential of leading to real accountability and consequences. The initiative a response to the avalanche of Sexual Misconduct allegations rocking hollywood and beyond. Actress ashley judd a member of times up told diane sawyer of her alleged experience with disgraced movie mogul, harvey weinstein. Then he obviously grabbed my hand. Its like the look on my face is abject terror like i can see it in my eyes. Reporter but times up also vowing to help less privileged women fight back saying, to every woman employed in agriculture who has to fend off unwanted sexual advances from her boss, every janitor trapped nightly in a building with a predatory supervisor, we stand with you. We support you. The initiative establishing a Legal Defense fund for working class women backed by 13 million in donations from the likes of meryl streep and director steven spielberg. Shonda rhimes telling the New York Times, if this group of women cant fight for a model for other women who dont have as much power and privilege, then who can . Times up is also urging women to wear black to next sundays Golden Globes and use red carpet interviews to speak out against Sexual Harassment as well as gender and racial inequality in hollywood and organizers say they have already heard of male actors who plan to do the same which is a pretty cool united way to confront this. Getting involved and so, amy, well talk to two of the founders of times up, theyre joining us exclusively. Attorney nina shaw and tina tchen who helped spearhead and was chief of staff of former first Lady Michelle obama. Thank you both so much for being with us. Nina, let me start with you. Good morning. Good morning. Tell us how this group came together. I would like to say that were outrage funneled into action. You have a group of women all of us were obscenely disturbed as was all of america as was all of the world about what had happened and we immediately started to say, what can we do . What can we do to make a difference . And it began as a series of meetings and the attendance grew and it grew and because we were all people who were in used to getting things done, they say you get something done, ask a busy woman and here we are today. And as amy said in her report, nina, this is about getting solutions, i mean its great the me too, to continue the conversation but times up is about solutions. Nina. It is. Yeah, the solutions that were looking for are, for example, the Legal Defense fund. Times up Legal Defense fund that we started now has 13. 5 million in donations on our go fund me page including 5 and 10 donations and the purpose of the fund is the attorneys stepping up to help them is to help low income women like the janitors, like the farm workers or Home Health Workers who dont have the means to get representation that they need to protect themselves when they speak out and to assert their rights. Tina, this is the difference with the Legal Defense fund because the me too movement was started in 1997 by tarana burke, an activist but it wasnt until hollywood became involved last year that it got so much attention, and there are women of color and lower income women who felt they have been left out of the conversation and this will address this, this fund will, tina. Well, thats the whole purpose of it. I mean the real object of the fund is to make sure women who are voiceless who dont have representation and are afraid to come forward know now they have access to legal resources, so anyone who needs those, we have partnered with the National Womens law center who you know, robin, is a 45yearold womens rights organization, well respected, fighting for these rights for decades. They will be the home for the times up Legal Defense fund. They have a portal and button for Legal Assistance on their website. I urge folks who need help to go to that and i urge attorneys who want to volunteer to go to the website as well to volunteer and folks who want to donate to go to the go fund me page because we need to litigation is expensive. Legal representation is expensive and we want to make sure people have the resources to speak out. And the fund is growing and, nina, just explain a little bit more about how those funds will be used. Well, as of this morning, 4,100 people had donated more than 13 million to the fund. And one of the wonderful things about having the National Law Center involved is we have an in Place Organization with a history of standing up for the rights of women who will be able to both help people who come to the fund and also help attorneys who are interested in being part of the representation. I think it matches the best of both worlds. Last question and start with you, nina. A lot of men have felt left out of the conversation, the me too movement and such, and you all are addressing that as well, and you know that men need to be involved in this movement. Oh, absolutely, robin. Were all in this together, at the end of the day, these are about abuses of power and these abuses of power will end when we have parity and well only have parity when we all come to the table together. So me too and times up is its really about i should say this about times up, its really about bringing all people to the Table Including our allies. When you look at the men who have donated to the go fund me, and theyve said wonderful things and talked about wanting to be involved, i think thats proof of their need to be involved. Our need to have them involved and we are all Going Forward together. We are seeing that with times up and our time is almost up but ill give you the final word, tina. Well, its not just about Sexual Harassment, its about really changing the way our workplaces work to make them fairer for everyone and need men and women and everyone involved so thank you. Thats a good bottom line, tina, good to see you again, nina, thank you both very, very much. Im sure well have more conversations and solutions Going Forward. Thank you so much.

We are back with that parenting alert about one of the most popular stars on youtube. Outrage is growing about a video logan paul posted overnight. It apparently shows someone who took their own life and abcs Adrienne Bankert is here with the story. Good morning, adrienne. Good morning to you, george. You may not know your kids are watching this guy but with a huge impressionable audience this year he was ranked by Forbes Magazine as one of the Top Entertainment influencers in the world, Major Companies pay him considerable amounts of money to post eyecatching videos but even he says his latest content was his biggest mistake. Reporter he has 15 million followers on youtube. Im glad you guys get to live with me. Reporter he posts a daily show with a target audience of teens and children noted by Companies Like pepsi and hbo who gave him endorsement deals. Come meet amy tomorrow at halftime for the pepsi supervine. Reporter but this morning he is in hot water after he posted a video allegedly showing the body of a person who recently committed suicide. The video viewed over 6 million times in just 24 hours. It was part of a series paul was posting from japan. He visited an area on the slopes of mountain fuji known as the suicide forest. Then posted the video with the title, we found a dead body in the japanese suicide forest. During the video paul said i think this definitely marks a moment in youtube history because im pretty sure this has never happened to anyone on youtube ever. The outrage was swift. Breaking bad star aaron paul calling logan pure trash. Game of thrones star Sophie Turner calling him an idiot. Paul has taken down the video and apologized writing in a statement, i didnt do it for views. I get views. I did it because i thought i could make a positive ripple on the internet, not cause a monsoon of negativity. I intended to raise awareness for suicide and suicide prevention.

Like most people. Fibromyalgia may be invisible to others, but my pain is real. Fibromyalgia is thought to be caused by overactive nerves. Lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. Im glad my doctor prescribed lyrica. For some, lyrica delivers effective relief for moderate to even severe fibromyalgia pain. And improves function. Lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions, suicidal thoughts or actions. Tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worse depression, unusual changes in mood or behavior, swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling, or blurry vision. Common side effects dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain, swelling of hands, legs and feet. Dont drink alcohol while taking lyrica. Dont drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. Those whove had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. With less pain, i can do more with my family. Talk to your doctor today. See if lyrica can help. Discover card.

A lot of people, you know, making resolutions and weve got an important alert about drinking and how alcohol affects womens brains differently than mens. Dr. Ashton is going to talk about that. A special guest this morning. Lets take a look at striker there. He is right there. The winner of the American Kennel Club National Championship. He got 5,000 other dogs to take home best in show. First well begin with that arctic blast. More than 200 million americans in a deep freeze. Windchills below zero. Closing schools from the midwest to new england and ginger, a new storm is on the way. Yes, fueled by what im calling inappropriate cold at this point because it just feels like its so wrong. Chicago, illinois, freezing in some of the waterways. 1 degree. Coldest new years day on record. That was the High Temperature and that is what it feels like, so many of us, charleston, South Carolina, this morning, tying a record low at 19 degrees and look at this. The Winter Weather advisories and winter storm watches stretch into north florida so really tonight through tomorrow that florida through South Carolina, North Carolina start to deal with this ocean storm. The closer it gets to the coast, the more snow we will see on land and so its going to really depend. Every ten miles is really going to make a big difference as to how much, say you get in the delmarva peninsula or new jersey, connecticut through massachusetts. Anyone that juts out has the best chance of seeing the most snow but i can promise you all even colder air. I dont even know what to go beyond inappropriate but that happens by friday into saturday. Robin and george. This is very dangerous. I couldnt believe the number of people out for new years and their exposed skin that no one was really injured thats the other thing is to be exposed you have to be in those layers, if youre going to be anywhere outdoor people and officials are saying this is not a joke anymore. This is the time that were really saying we havent seen this in some places in a century. Do not venture out if you dont have to. We move on to apple and that battery bombshell. So many customers outraged after they learned the company was slowing down older phones. Apple first offered an apology. Now they are offering replacement batteries at a discount and Rebecca Jarvis is here. Tell us how theyll fix it. You have two options if you have a phone and want the battery replaced you can bring it into an apple store. I would recommend making an appointment ahead of time or send it in to apple for them to replace the battery. You need to keep in mind there though it will take about five days so youll be without your phone for a week and it will cost you 29 if the phone is not under warranty, in addition to that apology last week, apple has also knocked 50 off the price of the new replacement battery. Anything you can do for five days while youre waiting . Well, ideally you could just do this, speak to people in person, you know, send messages, telepathically but those are the things that are really to keep in mind for anybody waiting. Also there are things people can do if they want to preserve their battery life. One of the things, you can adjust the brightness on your phone so if you adjust the brightness down that preserves battery life using wifi will help preserve the battery life. Also certain charging cases so if you notice that when youre charging your phone, the phone gets hot, take the charging case off, charge the phone and the case separately, that can help and finally if you avoid extreme temperatures, of course, right now its really hard to do, in the country across the country right now, but actually the extreme hot temperatures. That saves battery life. The extreme hot temperatures degrade it. The cold can shut the phone down but thats temporary. It goes back to normal after you get it in a normal room with some heat. Great advice there. Thank you. Now to twins born in different years. You heard us. Big brother joaquin was born with two minutes left in 2017 then his little sister came into the world 18 minutes later meaning they were born in different years, another reason the Southern California twins are in the spotlight.

[ applause ] thats all i got for you today, guys. [ cheers and applause ] i should do more. Well move on to a gma health alert right now. For everyone trying to make good on their new years resolution to lose weight a new diet strategy focused on watching the clock instead of counting calories, Adrienne Bankert back to explain. Hey, adrienne. Reporter hey, george, it doesnt mean you can eat a dozen snickers or steaks but you can eat red meat, dessert, carbs, whatever you want. You have to know what time it is. Two, one. Happy new year. Reporter if you want to be lean in 2018 instead of counting calories you might consider when youre eating. Its a diet strategy called time restricted feeding. The idea, eat normally as much as you want but only during a specific time frame. Doctors say the key is to sit down to meals within a 12hour window in order to lose weight. Dr. Julie schatzele said shes seen great Health Improvements including better sleep and heightened energy among her patients using the method. I have seen my patients go off Blood Pressure medications and normalize their Blood Pressure completely. Reporter 42yearold holly has been trying timerestricted feeding for the past three months. I get up at 6 30. I have breakfast at 8 00. Ill have a snack during the day before lunch then either im going out to happy hour or dinner. Between 5 00 and 7 00 and pretty much done by 7 00 p. M. Reporter a group of participants were restricted to eating for just eight hours a day. On average they lost 5 of their body weight. Timerestricted feeding is affecting metabolic pathways. You will still activate those pathways within your body that will increase fat burning and increase the utilization of stored energy. Reporter but eating within that means youre fasting the other 12 hours of a day. Easier said than done in hunger pangs maybe a little bit for the first two weeks and adjusted it a little by little. It was a lot easier than anticipated and didnt have to change my diet at her. She says you can drink whatever you want in the 12 hours but during those fast times they only want you Drinking Water and say if you cheat and have cough for a light snack you rob the body of the housekeeping process time, that necessary time needed to fully digest food, revitalize organs, even slow the aging process by giving your body a longer break from food. Robin, over to you. Give me your pass. Pass it over here. Over here. I was pretending that you were inside the camera but youre actually over there. Thank you, adrienne. Robin, i love you. I love you. [ applause ] thank you. Oh. [ applause ] we have the latest research on women drinking. Their health, more than 5 million women have whats known as alcohol use disorder. Now, one mother is sharing her story about how she became dependent on wine and fought to take back control of her life. Whether its a casual drink with friends. Is that apple juice. Why dont have you this instead. Reporter or instead a bad mom house party. Theres no doubt many women love even crave their socalled mommy juice. That drink or two that takes the edge off after a long hectic day. You feel like you deserve something and so wine becomes that something. Reporter for 39yearold annie grace that drinking habit started at work. I actually got taken aside one day and told the bar is kind of like the golf course. Thats where the deals happen. Reporter in her book this naked mind the mother of three describes how her relationship with alcohol got to a point where there was never a reason not to drink about four glasses of wine a night. It was two or three 00 in the afternoon saying, okay, well, its almost 5 and then ill be able to pour that glass of wine. Reporter grace didnt consider herself an alcoholic, but she says she was tired of living with the guilt she felt. I basically made a list of every reason i drank and just looked it up, learned everything i could and at the end of the year it was as if my conscious desired to drink less and my unconscious conditioning around alcohol had gone away. Reporter approximately 5. 3 million women in the u. S. Have alcohol use disorder or aud, a condition in which they are unable to stop or control their alcohol use. Women who consume more than three drinks a day or more than seven a week are at higher risk for aud. But grace says she was able to take back that control and kick her emotional dependence on alcohol once she realized she didnt need it to relax, wok or socialize. While she hasnt had a sip in three years she doesnt like to say she doesnt drink. I like to say i drink as much as i want whenever i want. Best of all if my kids ask for a sip of whats in my glass i can always give it to them in were glad grace is doing so well. Yelp is here. Theres this new study showing women are catching up to men when it comes to the amount that were drinking in yes and no but major differences when it comes to gender and how alcohol affects women. In particular the brain. Theres some new data that suggests that women actually have to consume more alcohol to activate that reward center in the brain and there are other differences as well. First of all, why women drink. Most women drink more to avoid a negative feeling like anxiety than to get a positive affect. There are different reward pathways men versus women in drinking and may have a greater stress response to withdrawal and throughout the stages of the addiction cycle women actually have more prominent effects so there are some differences. Tell us about the medical consequences. Weve heard some data supports positive effects with some moderate consumption, head to toe take a look at this chart. There are some negative effects from the brain down to the esophagus. Breast, liver, empty calories, the list goes on and on. So how, we have these wine glasses, how do you evaluate your intake . Okay, well, first of all the moderate definition of moderate consumption is seven fiveounce servings of wine which look like this. Thats moderate. This is moderate per week. If you have a heavy pour, robin, this is the same amount. Oh. Its five sevenounce per week its one bottle plus two fiveounce glasses so its important to understand whats moderate to know if youre over it and, listen, i will tell you, doctor heal thyself. I am doing a dry month. What motivated you . Exactly what grace said. Am i over this amount and how will i feel if i kind of avoid it so stay tuned. Keep a diary. Let us know how its going in i sure will . And graces book the naked mind is out now. Thats really cool. You know what, robin, ive done nine months of staying away and, yeses i would attest to it being difficult in a womans mind. Lets do your gma moment. This is the easy part, were all starting to make the resolutions, trying to your new diet maybe this is how you feel. Its actually little jac eshths tasting peas for the first time and his eyes get so big and i dont know i dont know. Hes in lamar, mississippi, and they said the grandmother sent us this video and his little eyes get so big. Just like we all do when good morning.

I dont no he if you remember but back in emilys season you were known as the kissing bandit. I was. Any kissing at midnight. No, i was all alone with some of our Production Team and it was a blast so the reason is because everything has to be so top secret. Yeah, were done filming obviously and watching it back was so much fun. Was it . Yeah, i was sitting in my hotel room . What surprised you most. Seeing the other end. Im having so many great conversations but obviously, you know, seeing the interviews the girls did and then obviously the jokes i didnt get because i was so nervous just kind of things like that. A woman put a Bumper Sticker on your i have a really small butt so what is it like dating 29 women at once . It was like it just didnt stop. It was overwhelming at first and i think that first night i was just so nervous and it was a long time since ive been on camera before so there was a lot of pressure. And it was just intense for sure. It was intense. It was really fun to watch and you see we had the kissing bandit. Yeah. You also had one would pulled up in a race car. Uhhuh. Did that work for you . Yeah, i mean, yes. I thought that was super cool. Did the hair thing. Wow, she really was going for it. Shes beautiful.

So doing those Little Things like the woman who gave you a rock. Yeah. Just we want to know do those things work going the extra mile. It makes that introduction really memorable. It makes that time, you know, stand out and there were certain things also one girl from arkansas i wont say. I know. I know. That was so funny.

Danica, it is so good to see you. Thank you. Always good it see you. Youre saying a 90day plan but you think people will stick with it. You have to establish a program and something that has structure, but what i hope that people take away from it because the book not only has the Workout Program in it thats 12 weeks and 50 recipes i wrote and photographed which was new for me. But it also has the first part of the book is five chapters on the mind and so what im hope something that people really realize that this is a lifestyle and i want them to develop a Good Relationship with food and exercise to not be a reward or punishment but a way of life and something that makes you feel good and something that makes you a better you every single day. I mean right up here. You got to change the way to think in order to change the way you feel. You got your mom into this. I did. Whats funny, mom, im your daughter. You had this possibility forever and so but my mom loves organization and so the fact that the program was set up, she did it and she never stopped. Shes got abs. She weighs 110 pounds. Isnt that crazy. Go, mom. My mom is almost 60. Shes going go easy, tiger. Well, were dropping 20, right. So 40 is the new 20 and 60 is the new 40. This will make us feel young. Youll show us some moves here. The first will get your heart rate up so its called pretty intense so the whole point most of the workouts all but one each week is meant to be 20, 25 minutes so jack up the cardio. Get moving, lift some weights if you can but anyway well start with toe taps then well do hopovers so this is called a slam ball and start with your right foot on the ball and were going to do 20 alternating side to side then after that well stand on the left side of the ball and do ten hopovers so everybody ready. Here we go, 20. Nice. Pretty intense. Nice. All right then we stand on the side of the ball. Have these heels on. I know. Robin, here we go. Ten. Over. Whoa. Hang on, my hair. What if you dont have a ball at home like this . Put something so you can use anything. I mean these are, you know, fairly lightweight balls, six pounds but what im at home with my hair not in my face so i cant see what im doing i use a 20pound ball so thats your fitness level so for your hobovers and toe taps all about speed. Thats your modification. I feel your heart is beating, isnt it . Yeah. What else will you show us. The next move is going to get a little more into strength. Pushups on the slam ball. Get down in a plank position. If you cant do a pushup youll do alternating side to side. If you cant do this, get into plank and drop your knees down and thats your modification. Id like you to be in plank first otherwise they start on their knees and their butt is too high. Ten each side. Only ten each identify. Only ten each side. Nice. Again, and, again, you can pod phi it, cant you . You k you can get on your knees and that works too. Still hard. Id rather see you do full range of motion than half range. Give us another one. Okay. First this is your typical slam ball move. Pick the ball up. Get it overhead, drop down on the ground. Just keep going. So well do ten of these. Whoo. Drop it down. And what is that . It works the whole body. This is going to get the squat. Youll get your legs into it. Your arms into it. [ applause ] hes like tossing the ball up like its nothing. Your modification is just war weight so i use a 0pound slam ball, sometimes 30 if im feeling good. 30 . That gets your legs into it but again its 20 minute, meant to be intense and meant to get you going. Theres one workout a week why did you want to do this . Well, you know, i just found a program that worked for me. A diet program that works for me. Cutting out dairy, gluten, grains, all kinds of stuff like that that kind of lugs you down so i just melt more energy, clearly the workout moves because im kind of out of breath. Okay. And, you know, theres just something about feeling good, right . When you eat well, when you get moving you just i feel like im better every day so it was a program i worked out since i was 15 years old and so this one has been the most effective so why not tell people. Youre still going to get on the track, arent you, at the daytona 500. Oh, yeah, yeah. [ applause ] its fission. Its physical being a driver. You know, daytona in february, its like very mental. But the race gets to be physical, just youre sidebyside, bumpertobumper for four or five hours and finish up at the indy 500 in may so thats yes yes many. Dan characters always, just seeing how youve grown and matured, so incredibly giving. Weve known reach other a long time. I feel like an amazon. Pretty intense is out now. Read the excerpt and even more of her health tips from our website. Coming up next going to the dogs. The newly crowned best of show from the American Kennel Club woman so, greg, its a lot to take in. Woman 2 and i know thats hard to hear, but the doctors caught it early. Hi, blake my dad has cancer. Woman and i know how hard that is to hear. But youre in the right place. Man and dr. Pascal and her team, they know what to do. They know what to do. The doctors know what to do. So heres the plan. First off, were going to give you all. voice fading away right now striker the cocker spaniel fresh off winning best in show at the American Kennel Club, National Championships presented by royal canin beat out almost 5,000 other dogs for the title. That is not easy. The winning moment right now. I mean, her. Beautiful. This is the largest competition ever. We want to congratulate striker and mike pitts with us right now. Boy, you must have been elated. Very exciting. Such an honor to have won this dog show and its always exciting to be at the National Championship with the other responsible breeders and handlers. To socialize with them. How long have you and striker been training for this moment . Striker is 5 now and we acquired him when he was 6 months old and hes 5 years old now so about 4 and a half years but hes been campaigned to do what hes doing to win this dog show for the past two years. What goes into it . A lot of hard work. A lot of grooming. A lot of grooming. This is kind of like a 24hour a day job. You got to take care of animals all the time dough a lot of training as you said, a lot of grooming, when hes being campaigned like he is, he goes to three or four dog shows a week so youre grooming almost like every day. Dogs he take well to it. Yes, he loves it. The dogs that do this and are successful at it, i mean you can see how happy he is, tail is always going. Putting that nose up in the air. He looks like snoopy. Adorable. Does he ever get down time when hes not perfectly coifed. He gets to go out and roll around in the mud. He loves this being surrounded by people and lights, everything. Yi, when we were out earlier and had the balls he wanted to come up and play ball with everyone. All the people make no difference to him. Hes very chill right now. I just wanted to say did you know from a young age when you first got him, you said hes been campaigning as you call it, but he had that special something. He was 6 months old and they charge change but by the time theyre a year you see what you have. Six months old we thought there was a possibility but by the time he was a year old we knew what he had. What is the it you look for . Well, each breed has a written standard that the American Kennel Club has and you try to judge the dogs against that standard, not each other. Its actually judged against the individual breeds standard but they have to have the attitude he has and they have to love doing it because as you can see hes happy, he likes this venue and thats part of it. They cant not be happy. Enjoy being out on that stage. Yes. Well, congratulations. Thank you so much. Hes beautiful. A handsome devil. Yeah, you are. Thanks for coming in. Appreciate it.
