It's that time of the year: you shed your winter layers and suddenly notice your muscles again - or rather, the lack thereof! The tee shirts and shorts aren't looking quite as you'd like (and forget about that swimsuit). No need to panic - there's still time to get in shape for summer…but you need to start now!

No more procrastinating. From this moment forward, every morsel of food that you consume counts as calories going in - and every step that you consciously take (forgoing the escalator for the stairs) counts as calories going out. At the end of the day, it's simple math: over consume and you gain weight. Over exert and you lose weight.

By Melissa Meyers Christy Turlington Burns Christy's directorial debut "No Woman, No Cry" premieres May 7th at 9:30 pm on OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network. Christy shared her stories and inspiration for creating the documentary at a Mother's Day brunch hosted by Divalysscious Moms and WNBC's "Moms & the City" on New York's Upper East Side. She spoke to over 100 moms, including Countess LuAnn De Lesseps about the complications she had while delivering her daughter Grace 7.5 years ago. Her film, "No Woman No Cry" tells the global plight of pregnant women in four countries. Christy felt connected to these women around the world who suffer from maternal health issues but don't have the same access to care. "People are more concerned about healthy babies," Christy said. "We often don't think about the Mom." Every 90 seconds a woman dies from pregnancy complications and 90% of these deaths are preventable. Lyss Stern, Christy Turlington Burns, Melissa Gerstein, Raina Seitell Gittlin, and Denise Albert To further raise awareness, Christy created the compilation CD "Every Mother Counts" (available at Starbucks)

By Colin Cowie Colin Cowie fills us in on all the Royal Wedding trends. With all the coverage surrounding the Royal Wedding it's natural that it will start to influence the style of weddings around the world. The formality of the royal wedding is taking hold and starting what seems to be a return to more formal and traditional décor, with guests invited to attend dressed in black tie for an evening of dining to the sounds of a big band/orchestra. Colin Cowie Wine Glasses Colin Cowie Set of 4 Fluted Wine Glasses Color schemes too will take on a more royal feel, incorporating rich colors like my favorites, chartreuse, gold, emerald, and royal blue. The 'Return to Regal', let's call it, will also lead to more rich and lush floral arrangements and flatware in golds and ornate silver patterns. Even invitations will change
