Wright opened up about her weight loss and getting healthier to Soap Opera Digest in 2016. She says that she got in touch with a fitness coach. “For six months, I’d feel better and then get sick again. I was still really struggling with the end of my marriage [to John Wright, her spouse of 21 years] — feeling better about it, but probably not really dealing with it. And I thought, ‘I have to do something.’ There was a girl I’d seen a lot on my friends’ [social media] pages, a Beach body coach. I reached out to her and said, ‘I need to make a major change in my life.’”

In her Soap Opera Digest interview, Wright revealed that her coach had her post workout photos on Facebook each day. She says that this helped her stick with the workouts and motivate her. “My coach had me showing up to a Facebook page to post after-workout pictures and that accountability really got into my head,” she explains. “The workout is only 30 minutes a day and no matter how late I worked, I worked out. If I got home at 8:30 or 9 at night, I worked out and posted that picture. If I had to be at work at 6:30, I was up at 5 doing my workout and posting. I was like, ‘This really works!’ Then I thought, ‘Every workout works. So why did this click in differently for my brain?’ And it was the coaching page, the community.”

3. She’s Positive

Wright is all about having a positive mindset, as she thinks this helps get her through rough times. She shared her mantra in an interview with FBJ Fit. “Whenever I am facing anything challenging, I tell myself, ‘I can handle this. I got it!’ I passionately believe that you are what you say you are. If you say you feel tired and terrible all the time, then that is your reality. Being grateful, and taking responsibility for your thoughts and actions, gives you the power to create the life you want. Much like the character of Carly, I really try to tune into and trust my instincts!”

4. Wright Has Found Acceptance in Herself

Wright has found acceptance in herself, and talked about this on Instagram. “This 23-year-old was ashamed of her body and thought if she could lose 10 more pounds she would be perfect and worthy of love,” Wright wrote in the caption. “She wasn’t focused on the things she loved, just on being skinny enough to be loved. Every day, all day long, these were my thoughts. 30 years later I’m finally discovering how beautiful life is. How grateful I am for a body that has been with me and taking care of me for 51 years. And how much fun life can be when you decide to live! Not sure why I decided to share this today. I just got this picture last night and wanted to hug this young girl and tell her how amazing she is.”

1. She Started Her Own Fitness Website

Laura started her own health, fitness, and lifestyle website, So-LA with her trainer Louise Carlsson since so many of her fans wanted to know all about her diet and workout secrets. On it, she reveals a lot of tips and tricks and also offers paid access to the exact training plan responsible for her fabulous figure.

2. Resistance Training Is Her Go-To Workout

“Since training with Louise, I’ve become a big fan of resistance training as part of my quest to become more toned,” Laura explains on her website. “Resistance training is an excellent way to round out your workouts if you already do cardio. It helps you build strength, improve tone, and even preserve muscle as you lose weight. It will also help you feel good about yourself and your physique,” she continued. “No matter the resistance exercises you choose, ensure that you stay consistent but vary the routine. Failing to vary the workouts and resistance means that you are not getting the full benefits. Try different things to vary your workouts and you will definitely be pleased with the results.”

Laura revealed the recipe to her go-to green drink on her website:

• 1/2 avocado
• 1/2 frozen banana
• 1 cup blueberries
• 1/2 cup pomegranate
• 1/2 cup ice
• 1/2-1 cup cold water/ dairy free milk of choice

Instructions:

Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.

4. Hiring a Personal Trainer Was a Game Changer for Her

In one of her blogs, Laura revealed that prior to training with Louise, she would “rather drink wine and sit and watch tv. Sorry to begin so bluntly but it WAS true. I'm a changed woman what can I say,” she explained. “I now genuinely love and need to get my sweat on. Not just because of the endorphins afterwards but because I have a goal. I want to change my body and increase muscle. Obviously, it helps as my PT is super sweet, educated and fit to look at haha (she's a girl) but it’s just finding that motivation.” If you can afford it, she suggests you should hire a personal trainer. “SHE is my motivation and I’ve just never had that before. So from that I would suggest if you're a woman and can afford a PT then however weird it may sound look for a fit female PT that you’ll trust more as you admire her body type. The same goes for a man, try a male personal trainer who’s physique looks like your end game.”

5. She Suggests Surrounding Yourself with “Like-Minded People”

If you want to get into shape, Laura suggests surrounding yourself by people with the same objectives. “It's also true that surrounding yourself with like-minded people helps to achieve your goals. Don’t be afraid to make new friends at the gym, as in the most positive way, sometimes our comfort zones with our friends can hold us back. I don’t know about you but I’m so easily influenced. Pizza night or gym? I'd do whatever my friend said, food for thought. Excuse the pun!” she said.

6. She Reminds That Self-Love Is An Inside Job

“I think it’s so important to remember without getting too sentimental that life is a gift and we're lucky to be here,” Laura writes in a recent post. “Most of us are healthy with a million opportunities to grow and be who we want to be if we choose to take a few chances along the way. It saddens me that as a society we put so much emphasis on looks. Vanity is dangerous territory in my opinion as I believe if you rely on your appearance and it suddenly changes you will break as a person. To succeed in life we need to be strong and strength comes from character. Beauty will always shine through and what is within you, will always win in every situation. Work on your inner self first, make it your priority to learn, be more patient, understanding and tough before stressing or comparing your exterior. Everything will fall into place. Remember the most important relationship you have is with yourself and it's not about that mirror and what’s staring back at you, it’s about the conversation you’re having in your mind because that's what gets you through your day and controls your emotions. We are all beautiful and we are meant to be different.”

Laura recommends adding this juice to your morning routine to kickstart your day.

3. She Stays Active Constantly

She says that she does a lot of cardio workouts, and aims to do them four times a week. “For me it’s really important to keep up my cardio,” she says. “I run, ride my bike (both outside) and I take spin class.

Sweeney likes to weight train to stay in shape. “In addition, at least once a week, I do a day of circuit training with weights,” she told People. “It helps me maintain muscle tone. My schedule is so busy all the time, so I can’t hold myself to specific times or a firm schedule, but these are my goals and I do the best I can.”

5. She Tracks What She Eats

Sweeney revealed to People that she makes sure to track what she eats, as it helps her maintain a healthy diet. “I know all about hitting plateaus and how frustrating they can be.

6. She Does Short, Intense Workouts

Sweeney has a busy schedule, but she always makes sure to stay in shape. She tells People that when she doesn’t have a lot of time, she does really intense workouts. “I’ve learned that I get a good intense, short workout by running sprints on the treadmill. It’s not always about distance – a workout is about the intensity you put into it. So when I don’t have a lot of time, I really focus my energy and go really hardcore – run 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off for several minutes. Then I do a similar intensity doing burpees (pushup, jump to your feet, and then jump in the air, then back down to pushup).”

7. She Keeps Her Kitchen Stocked

Sweeney revealed to New Beauty that she likes to keep her kitchen stocked with healthy foods. “Preparation is key. I don’t have time every day to wash fruit, chop vegetables or go to the market, so I really focus on having only healthy options readily available, from stocking my refrigerator with great fruits and raw vegetables to having raw nuts in the pantry and planning ahead as much as possible. Salads are always satisfying and easy to prepare, so those are a definite go-to.”
