Marie Osmond Goes Red for Women’s Heart Health

Real women are joining Marie Osmond in speaking out for heart health in the Go Red for Women campaign -- and ET talks to the NutriSystem spokeswoman who has a very personal reason for taking part.

"My mother on her death bed, she said, 'Marie, don't do what I did. Take care of yourself,'" Marie tells ET. But it was more than just her mother's dying wish that was the impetus for Marie to lose 50 pounds and kick up her daily exercise.

"I was doing a show and I came off, and I was panting. [My son said], 'Mom, we need you. You have eight kids, please. You're going to die.'"
