Carnie Wilson, who is expecting her second child, has been very open about her weight issues over the years, and says pregnancy is no excuse to eat junk and let things get out of control.
Wilson says she watches what she eats and sticks to nutritious choices. "I don't need to pick at Oreos or pick at muffins," she tells PEOPLE. "I've put on 43 lbs. at [age] 40. I don't have to gain any more weight. I put my foot down. The baby is growing, and she's perfect."
Carnie has also stayed active during her pregnancy, and recently shot 40 episodes of the revival of The Newlywed Game on GSN. She admits it was "phsycially hard" being on her feet all day, but says baby Luciana (she and husband Rob Bonfiglio have already named their unborn daughter) was entertained.
"There were a couple of times where I'd ask a funny question and she would kick... and I'd let the audience in on what was going on."
She adds of the game show, "I can't think of anything better than talking to couples about their intimate lives, the things you really want to find out. The fact I got to ask those questions was a blast. There were definitely some contestants where you would know there was going to be a fight that would last three days."
Carnie said The Newlywed Game has got "to be fun and playful," so the old-fashioned euphemism "making whoopee" still holds.
She said, "I think whoopee is the way. I think if you 'make love' that's lovely when you're at a seminar trying to get your feelings out, but for The Newlywed Game it's got to be fun and playful."
Carnie and Rob are due in June and their older daughter Lola Sofia, turns four this month.
