Wikipedia
Jillian Michaels (born 18 February, 1974) is a fitness expert who gained prominence as a trainer on the NBC weight-loss reality series ''The Biggest Loser'' (USA). Michaels was the trainer for the red team until 2006, when she was replaced by Kim Lyons. She returned in 2007 as the black team coach, competing against Kim's red team and Bob Harper's blue team. Kim decided not to return for the spring 2008 season, leaving Jillian as the only female trainer. Along with Bob Harper, Jillian is also a trainer in the Australian version of the show. She began her career in exercise because she was considerably overweight before her teenage years (though not as much as the contestants she whips into shape now). As a young adult, her mother enrolled her in a martial arts class, which was a new beginning for Jillian. Thereafter she dedicated herself to helping the overweight transform their lives and their bodies for the better.

Hi Jillian, I love this show and you are awsome.... I was hopping that you can help me by giving me some tips to help my son that is 19 yrs. old and he weighs 300 pounds. He is currently trying a diet and he walks but not as much as i would like for him to. You have inspired me to continue to push him because you have so much love for your team members and want to see them succeded so i know that your advice would be great. Sorry to get to the point as i did but i'am a scared mom for my son. He has to much life in him to just lock himself in the house because he is embarrassed. Thanks for your time Jillian your the best.
Hi Jillian, My name is Dana and I am 28 years old and weigh over 300 pounds...I am a single mom of two beautiful little boys and I fear that if I do not get control of my wieght, I will not be around to see them grow up.

I think she a made fool out her the other when stood there cuss every word that come out of her mouth they have beep. T
I am a big fan of this show althought I didn't care for last night show I along with several other people thought that allison should have kept her comments to herself for exp. at the end of the show when she said that even after the comments tonight biggest loser was a woman well we all can see that. And as far as what jullian said way to go you tell them like it is and stand up for you team. I felt that she was right on with that comment, the woman are backed up against a wall and have no were to go they have no chance to win this season because of them being up against a team of men. Nothing bad toward the men but I hope they (men) all go home and I don't feel that the brother should have been the one to get back into the show..... Way to go team JULLIAN black team I am proud of you please dont give up and fight them and make them pay....
jillian my mummy nd me luv you go girlfriend im doin my english assinment on you cause your my hero
I love the Biggest Loser show! What and inspiration to everyone to get out there and get fit! I just wish Jillian was still the trainer. I like Bob Harper but I have still not warmed to Kym Lyons
