Bob Harper, Jillian Michaels, The Biggest Loser and 24 Hour Fitness
We here at I Choose Thin have been fans of the Biggest Loser since season one. My wife and I who are on a constant battle for weight loss actually go through withdrawals when it is between seasons. Sue (my wife) really would love to train with Jillian Michaels while I would rather work with Bob Harper. As we sat on the couch watching the episodes we were always thrilled with the no nonsense approach to weight loss that was presented throughout the theme of the show. What really thrilled Sue and I was the fact that it was all done through education, exercise and dedication. This down to Earth approach was the reason we started the I Choose Thin website. Having been tired of all the weight loss nonsense and knowing we would never be on the show we were looking for an outlet of weight loss knowledge. The Biggest Loser and the team up with 24 Hour Fitness with Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels was a match made in heaven.
Nowhere else in the world of advertising and television was the concept that the best way to lose weight was through education and then a whole bunch of sweat through exercise. Many viewers do not realize that the contestants spend 7, 8 or even 9 hours of their day in the gym. Many viewers sit on their couch eating ice cream thinking how great it would be to be on the show and do not realize what they are wishing. I equate it to wanting to become a United States Marine and forgetting a little place called Parris Island , where Marines are born in a concept called boot camp. When I watch the Biggest Loser I know how great it would be to be on that show not because of the get thin fast concept but because I know that is one place where weight loss would happen.
Being on the show would allow you to use the most advanced weight loss/exercise equipment available and that combined with the training of Bob and Jillian would provide the combination to allow the sweat to pour. That sweat is what pushes the weight loss but it takes more than an hour episode for that to happen. In order to lose the weight a person has to be committed to weight loss for the long haul. A person has to have that inner motivation that goes deeper than a one hour episode can achieve. Having been a follower of the show I have been saddened to see the weight gain by previous contestants but I do not degrade them because I know that life can get in the way of fitness and weight loss or even weight maintenance.
If you are a person seeking weight loss you must first have the motivation and then you must have some deeper motivation. Only then will that weight loss attempt amount to a lifetime of health. Only after you have made the decision to lose the weight should you ever think of spending money on equipment at 24 Hour Fitness. The products they sell are not cheap and deserve more than becoming a dust collecter in the spare bedroom. The products at 24 Hour Fitness will work the same way they work for the Biggest Loser and that is through the sheer fact that they are being used.
If you desire to lose weight then take the cue from Bob Harper, Jillian Michaels , the Biggest Loser and 24 Hour Fitness and get up and do something about it. After you start then just remember that you have to keep going and not give up.

As you said “you must first have the motivation ” You do not need to be on a show for that. It has to be for you.
