Noela Rukundo sat in a car outside her home in Melbourne, Australia, watching as the last few mourners filed out. They were leaving a funeral - her funeral. Finally, she spotted the man she’d been waiting for. She stepped out of her car, and her husband put his hands on his head in horror. “Is it my eyes?” she recalled him saying. “Is it a ghost?” “Surprise! I’m still alive!” she replied. Far from being elated, the man looked terrified. Five days earlier, he had ordered a team of hit men to kill Rukundo, his partner of 10 years. And they did - well, they told him they did. They even got him to pay an extra few thousand dollars for carrying out the crime. Now here was his wife, standing before

If you thought the old adage “black don’t crack” was just a saying, or simply an expression, allow us to present to you Kaylan MaHomes, her twin sister and mother. Believing they were taking a picture, the trio then burst into laughter once they learned it was actually a video. But the question still remains, which one of these women is the mother?

After 20 years of marriage, at the age of 43, Yvonne Anderson-Thomas found herself in free fall: Her husband filed for divorce and she hadn't completed her nursing degree. To make ends meet, she started selling baked goods at food festivals near her in Boise, Idaho, drawing on her experience running a bakery. "I realized, shoot, the savory food people were making all the money!" she says.

Steward’s college sweetheart and fiancé Brittany Burns died on Monday, less than two months after being diagnosed with terminal ovarian cancer and just weeks after the Buffalo Bills player asked her to be his wife. There wasn’t even time to worry about a time frame, because it was a blink and it was over,” Russell tells PEOPLE. Russell, Steward’s best friend, says that Burns began complaining of stomach pain and fatigue in October.

What’s it like to work for Kylie Jenner?! Well, it turns out, it’s not as ~glamorous~ as you may think! The 18-year-old’s personal assistants took over her Snapchat and revealed her horrifying diva demands! “Kylie asks me for the same f--king smoothie every morning, and I always ask her, ‘What flavor?’ She goes, ‘You should know the flavor,’” one of the assistants explained, while the other added that the KUWTK star is “particular” about her beverages, and won’t drink a smoothie if it’s too warm or the straw has been touched! WARNING: This language is NSFW! That first assistant shared another horrifying scenario (which seems to happen regularly). She said, “Yeah, you’ll be like, ‘Yeah, I want

Almost a year after she was rescued from Boko Haram captivity by the Nigerian army, Zara John, 16, is still in love with one of the fighters who abducted her. She was delighted to discover that she was pregnant with his child following a urine and blood test carried out by a doctor in the refugee camp to which she was taken after her rescue. "I wanted to give birth to my child so that I could have someone to replace his father, since I cannot reconnect with him again," said Zara, one of hundreds of girls kidnapped by Boko Haram during a seven-year insurgency in northeast Nigeria. But any decision over the baby was taken out of her hands. Her father drowned during flooding in 2010 so her uncles

MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP PENDELTON, Calif - Over the roar of the wind, a voice yelled “contact front!” Without hesitation, Sgt. First Class Yusuke Irie of the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force’s Western Army Infantry Regiment Scout Sniper program sprinted to get on line and provide firepower. Surrounded by the sounds of gun fire and yelling, the soldiers alternate seamlessly between providing cover fire and bounding backward. Once out of sight and safe from enemy fire, United States Marine Sgt. Mason Wilhelmy, a pre-scout sniper instructor, 1st Marine Division School’s Pre-Scout Sniper Course, called out “cease fire, cease fire” and signals the soldiers to gather around him.

She crashed her own funeral after her hubby paid to have her killed

Noela Rukundo sat in a car outside her home, watching as the last mourners filed out. They were leaving a funeral - her funeral. Finally, she spotted the man she’d been waiting for. She stepped out, and her husband put his hands on his head in horror. “Surprise! I’m still alive!” The man looked terrified. Five days ago, he had ordered a team of hit men to kill Rukundo, his partner of 10 years. And they did - well, they told him they did. Now here was his wife, standing before him. “I’m sorry for everything,” he wailed. But it was far too late for apologies; Rukundo called the police. The husband, Balenga Kalala, ultimately pleaded guilty and was sentenced to nine years in prison for incitement

  • <p>Within three years of dieting, Nearly 65 percent of dieters gain back the weight they lost within three years, say University of Pennsylvania researchers. The reason? They all slimmed down with the help of a diet, which by definition is short term and doesn't produce life long results. To hit your goal weight and stay there, you need to make permanent changes to your lifestyle. Not sure how? Check out these 10 Daily Habits That Keep Away Belly Fat for some inspiration. </p>
  • <p>While it’s possible to lose weight without doing a single pushup or burpee, in order to keep it off, physical activity is must, says James O. Hill, PhD, co-founder of the National Weight Control Registry. But not all workouts are created equal. Although cardio gets all of the glory, interval and strength training are the real heroes in the world of weight maintenance. These methods of exercise will help you replace flab with hard, sexy muscle which will <a href="http://www.eatthis.com/best-ways-to-speed-up-your-metabolism">boost your metabolism</a> and make it easier to keep off those sneaky pounds. For the best results, do strength or interval training twice a week and aim for an hour of physical activity a day—that could mean walking, swimming or running errands. Just get off your tush and move! Why an hour? The majority of successful losers who have maintained their weight loss for an average of 5.5 years report moving for about an hour a day, according to the National Weight Control Registry.</p>
  • <p>To ensure you fit in those 60 minutes and fit in more daily steps, rethink your commute. On the days that I have to skip the gym, I force myself to walk home from work instead of hopping in a cab or taking the bus. If you drive to work, cycle to the office once a week or park your car further away from the entrance. However you decide to do it, the more steps you take, the better. The majority of people (76%) who have lost weight and kept it off report walking for an hour a day so fit in those steps wherever you can! And to get more out of each and every stride, check out these <a href="http://www.eatthis.com/walking-for-weight-loss">30 Tips for When You're Walking for Weight Loss</a>!</p>
  • <p>Constantly eating when you don’t need the fuel is a major contributor to weight gain. Before you pop something into your mouth, ask yourself why you’re eating. (We’re lookin’ at you Ms. Office Candy Bowl.) Are you actually hungry or are you just angry, stressed, anxious or board? If it’s any of the latter feelings, healthy snacks like carrot sticks and apples won’t seem appealing. If you’re not hungry enough to eat a plant, vow to not eat anything at all.</p>
  • <p>Recent Cornell University findings suggest that shying away from the scale can cause those former pounds to sneak back onto your frame—not what you want! According to senior author David Levitsky, people who weigh themselves daily and track the results are more likely to lose weight and keep it off than those who check in less often. The method “forces you to be aware of the connection between your eating and your weight,” Levitsky said in a press statement. “The scale also acts as a priming mechanism, making you conscious of food and enabling you to make choices that are consistent with your weight.” For even more ways to shrink your gut, check out these <a href="http://www.eatthis.com/best-weight-loss-tips">50 Best Ever Weight Loss Tips</a>.</p>
  • <p>On the flip side, fitness folks know that rest is just as important as activity. It’s possible to overdo it at the gym and exhaust yourself to the point where you're no longer productive. Taking days off to rest your body and to allow your body to recover is equally as important as working it out in the first place. Don’t be afraid to give yourself a day off in between your workouts.</p>
  • <p>Choose an exact goal weight and set a realistic date that you’d be able to reach it by. “Write your goal on a post-it where you can see it all the time. This way it’s always in the forefront of your mind,” suggests Barnes. “And most importantly, break down your overarching goal into smaller goals so you don’t overwhelm yourself. Aim for two pounds every other week. Once you see that you can accomplish a "doable" goal, it pumps up the motivation!”</p>
  • <p>Your workouts aren’t the only things you need to plan ahead to stay fit for life, you’ll also need to map out your meals. “People have a much better chance of having a slim waistline if they plan when they are going to eat and what they are going to eat,” says Mark Langowski, celebrity trainer and author of <a href="http://amzn.to/1k0uTCe">Eat This, Not That! For Abs</a>. “Before I go to bed, I look at my schedule for the next day and plan out what I am going to eat and where I will eat it. If you let the day begin without planning, it will be 3 p.m. before you know it and you’ll wind up making an unhealthy decision.” Registered dietitian Christine M. Palumbo agrees, but takes a slightly different approach meal prep: “Identity three meals you can prepare with pantry staples and start cooking. Store the meals in your freezer so you always have something healthy on hand when hunger strikes. For example, my go-to meals include risotto with frozen shrimp and asparagus, vegetable barley and a red lentil <a href="http://www.eatthis.com/high-protein-soups-abs">soup</a>. Your goal should be to replace the meals whenever your stash starts running low”.</p>
  • <p>How much your close friends weigh, plays a major role in how much you’ll weigh, say Harvard School of Public Health researchers. In fact, their findings suggest that a person’s chance of becoming obese increases by 57% if a close friend is obese—and it makes sense: If your buddies all love meeting up for burgers and beers on the reg, it will be really hard to stay on track with your healthy lifestyle. Our advice? From time to time suggest getting into other types of activities like yoga or a healthy cooking class. You could also consider hosting get-togethers at your house so you can control the menu. Another tip: Try to meet new people who enjoy living the healthy lifestyle you now lead. (A gym class or hiking group is a great place to introduce yourself!) This will help add a healthy balance to your life, without kicking your long-time besties to the curb. For more ways to maintain your newfound flat abs, check out these <a href="http://www.eatthis.com/best-foods-to-eat-for-muscle-definition">25 Best Foods for a Toned Body</a>!</p>
  • <p>Eating frequently might sound counterintuitive if you're trying to keep the pounds off, but munching consistently throughout the day is key to blood sugar and hunger management, explains registered dietitian Isabel Smith. When you eat something every three or four hours, it keeps your metabolism humming and you’ll never get too hungry. This ensures you’ll always be in a position to make smart diet decisions which is key to keeping the weight off long term. Not sure what to eat between meals? Check out these <a href="http://www.eatthis.com/best-snacks-with-50-calories-or-less">50 Snacks With 50 Calories or Less</a>!</p>
  • <p>Despite conventional wisdom, maintaining a major weight loss doesn't mean giving up croissants and cookies for good. It does, however, require cutting calories where you won't miss 'em anyway so indulging from time to time won’t do any damage to your waistline. Swap fries for apple slices at McDonald’s, keep the cheese off your sandwiches and salads and ask for the sauce on the side when you dine out at a restaurant. Believe it or not, these simple tweaks will save you hundreds of calories—without drastically altering the taste of your meals. For even more calorie-saving tips, check out these <a href="http://www.eatthis.com/ways-to-cut-calories">25 Ways to Cut 250 Calories</a>!</p>
  • <p>Get this: Nearly 80 percent of National Weight Control Registry members—who have lost an average of 66 lbs and kept it off for 5.5 years—regularly eat breakfast. Though researchers haven’t discovered a definite connection between the morning meal and weight loss, one theory is that when you start your day with something healthy and satiating it helps set a healthy tone for the rest of the day. To get on board, whip up one of these <a href="http://www.eatthis.com/overnight-oat-recipes-for-weight-loss">50 Best Overnight Oats Recipes</a> or enjoy an omelet with some Ezekiel bread and some berries.</p>
  • <p>Harmful Ingredient: Polysorbate 60 </p><p>Short for polyoxyethylene-(20)-sorbitan monostearate, this emulsifier is widely used in the food industry. Made of corn, palm oil and petroleum, this gooey mix can’t spoil, and it often replaces dairy products in baked goods. It's commonly contaminated with 1,4 dioxane, a chemical which has been shown to cause cancer in animals. </p><p><strong>Eat This Instead:</strong> Foods coated with real chocolate. </p>
  • <p>Though eating out all the time isn’t ideal when you’re trying to lose weight, it important for your mental health and continued slim down success that you truly savor the experience when you decide to indulge. “When eating out, make it a special event, take your time and enjoy your feast,” says James. “Order several dishes family style for everyone to try and share–this is more filling and satisfying than eating a single entree by yourself.” </p>
  • <p>Sure, all fruits and veggies are healthy and low-cal, but did you know that when it comes to keeping away those waist-expanding pounds, flavonoid-rich foods like bananas, strawberries, grapes, pears, onions, peppers and celery are the best bets? In a 2016 British Medical Journal study of 124,000 middle-aged and older people, those who ate a diet rich in flavonoid-filled foods maintained their weight better than those who didn’t—and it makes a lot of sense. Earlier findings suggested that the naturally occurring plant compounds could ward off inflammation and fat absorption. Not a big fan of the fruits and veggies above? Tea is another option that’s chock full of flavonoids! To make the most of the benefits from your brew get your hands on the <a href="http://amzn.to/1TNQGcA">The 7-Day Flat-Belly Tea Cleanse</a>! Test panelists lost up to 10 pounds in one week, so it’s sure to keep the pounds at bay for you, too!</p>
  • <p>“Holidays, vacations, crazy work weeks...it doesn’t matter. Every week, people who remain lean, stick to their healthy habits,” Langowski tells us. “My most successful clients are the ones who stay consistent with their workouts throughout the year; they don’t let anything get in the way of their workout! It’s like putting on their pants or brushing their teeth and is something that they wouldn’t think of not doing!” The same mentality should hold true for your diet, too. The majority of people who lose weight and keep it off, report that that their diet is the same on both the weekends and weekdays, according to an American Journal of Clinical Nutrition report. Simply put, don’t go crazy eating wings, pizza and <a href="http://www.eatthis.com/10-cheat-meal-strategies-weight-loss">cheat meals</a> just because it’s Saturday. Your body doesn’t care what day of the week it is, and neither should you. </p>
  • <p>Curious what else successful losers do? Well, we’ll tell you one thing they don’t do: Netflix and chill. The average American watches 28 hours of TV per week, while those who have shed 30+ pounds and kept it off for at least a year, log fewer than 10 per week in front of the boob tube. </p>
  • <p>Counting calories may have helped you lose weight initially, but as you might have guessed, it’s not a habit you can maintain for life. Instead, hold onto your <a href="http://www.eatthis.com/flat-belly-superfoods-video">flat belly</a> with the help of the plate rule. “I never recommend counting calories to any of my clients,” says Smith. “ Instead, I tell them to fill 50% of their plate at each meal with non-starchy vegetables like kale, broccoli and carrots. This ensures that they’ll take in a fair amount of fiber, which promotes satiety and weight maintenance.” (Unrefined carbohydrates like beans, sweet potatoes and whole grains should make up a fourth of the plate and the last fourth should be reserved for lean proteins.) Research backs Smith’s claim: A Brigham Young University College study found that women who consume more fiber have a significantly lower risk of gaining weight than those who eat less of the nutrient, likely because they consumed fewer overall calories throughout the day. </p>
  • <p>Last, and most importantly: don’t get discouraged if the scale swings upwards a bit. Vacations, holidays, and stressful life situations happen, and not to mention, weight fluctuations are totally normal. If you feel your pants getting tighter, take it with a grain of salt but don’t forget about it. Examine what you’re doing differently and commit to getting back on the bandwagon—it’s as simple as that! And always remember, maintenance is a marathon, not a sprint; you’re in this for life!</p>
