Thin Blog

Jillian Michaels of The Biggest Loser was not always that thin, toned and ripped woman you see on your television screen.  Reading the story behind Jillian Michael’s rocket to fame is not only heartwarming, it shows her human side.  What is behind the smile and tanned skin of Jillian is a compassionate person who herself was once over weight.  When she is not taunting and cajoling her team to exercise she is applying the emotional bandages needed to help that skinny person emerge from their obese body.  We have assembled some basic information about Jillian Michaels here because this blog is off the chart for people seeking information about her.

Jillian Michaels was born on 18 February, 1974 and is 5′ 2 1/2″ tall and averages 120 pounds.  The story behind her climb to prominence as a personal trainer began at the age of 12 years old.  At that young age she was obese and weighed 175 pounds.  At that point in her life she became a student of martial arts and began the climb to becoming as athletic as she is today.  To the best of everyone’s knowledge, she is not married and she is definitely not married to Bob Harper.  She used to have a talk show on WKFI, but has taken a break from that.  When we listened to her talk that aired on 1/11/2009 we really loved to hear her speak about how technology will affect future weight loss. She spoke about how new technology will influence the future of fitness and weight loss.  One example of the technology that The Biggest Loser uses is the BodyBugg by 24Hour Fitness and if you have never heard of it you really need to check it out.  She also has a great new product that works with Wiit what she truly believes will work.

Jillian has the best win to loss ratio of all trainers on America’s Biggest Loser, of the seasons she was a trainer.  Every season she has ever been on she has had one of her contestants win the competition.  The only exception with this was Season 5 when Ali won, but technically Ali was under the tutelage of Jillian.

Jillian Michaels has revealed that she never really wanted to be on The Biggest Loser and only went to audition after a Hollywood agent who worked out at her gym approached her.  At first she said no to the audition and hated the name of the show and actually even hated the concept of watching television overall.  She was not surprised with the success of the show because of the epidemic of obesity in America today.

She believes that obesity in America is all about instant gratification.  Also she went on to state people are not educated about eating properly and understanding what calories are all about.  She feels as if people in general know little about the nature of carbohydrates, good fats and bad fats.  She goes onto to state that more people need to eat fruits and vegetables and forsake the fats.   Jillian Michaels feels as if the single most important factor to obesity is the “Secretary lifestyle.”  She feels as if the lack of activity, as a person gets older, cause obesity.   She believes that if people were to just become more active in their life, the obesity issue would vanish and not be an issue at all.

Overall Jillian Michaels had been cast into stardom from the attention she has received from being a personal trainer, but her popularity will soon even eclipse The Biggest Loser.  She has become a national symbol for healthy weight loss without using a fad diet.  Jillian has focused the light of attention on the fact that the best way to lose weight is the old fashioned way and that is to “burn it.”  Here at I Choose Thin.com we applaud the fact that a rising star is staying away from gizmos and gadgets of weight loss that do no more than just take your money.  Granted she is pushing an agenda but then who isn’t?  It is a tribute to Jillian   also refreshing to see someone out there in the spotlight not just trying to sell some fad diet.

Thank You Jillian!!
