She Says Being Able To Cross Her Legs Was Emotional

Underwood said that during her weight loss, she began taking a Wegovy injection weekly. It helped her suppress her appetite and start her journey in full force. "I knew I was gaining weight. I could see it, and I knew that something was happening with my health," she recalled.

The talk show host also mentioned the moment she crossed her legs during the Friday episode for the first time in decades and good it felt. "And for the years that I've been here, you can go back through all of the footage; you've never seen me cross my legs," Underwood continued.

"It was amazing," the actress revealed. "Natalie, Amanda, and I, we're sisters in this, and I just wanted to do what I see them doing. So now we call it 'the Natalie.'"

Underwood admitted that she had to go through like ten dresses before she found the one that gave her "that Dorothy effect." She had on a purple dress with red shoes and revealed she wanted an outfit that displayed the effort she put into her weight loss.

Despite the impressive amount of pounds she shed, Underwood revealed that she still wanted to lose around 15 to 20 extra pounds before the end of the year. "You see, I crossed my leg twice," the host said per Yahoo. "You just want to feel sexy… And that's the great feeling about this, and it makes you continue on this journey."

For now, Underwood is learning to maintain her established habits by reducing her previous indulgences while still having fun. "I have to modulate; I make sure I drink a lot more water. I still have a really great quality of life. I have fun," she said.
