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.

I watch the program every week. Wish I could be there
The Biggest Loser is the only show that I actually watch on TV and I look forward to the break it gives me from graduate school. I have 2 comments: The first is that I was extremely disappointed by how unprofessional Jillian was in terms of her "competition" with the other trainer, Kim. It was completely immature of her to baby Amy (who joined the black team) and give her special treatment. Anyone who is anyone can see what Jillian was trying to do. Secondly, I am glad that Amy finally got voted off. Everyone else on this season's show works their tails off and they appreciate one another's hard work, even though it is still a game. Amy was whiny, vindictive, and I am glad that she now has to achieve and maintain her weight loss at home.
I am so sick and tired of people who think they need to lose weight and do not...I have been on an emotional roller coaster I am 5 '2 and weigh 175 ...4 years ago 119...10 years ago..92lbs people do not realize how hard it really is to lose the weight...I have quit smoking and now gaining more weight that I do not need...scary....I am frustrated depressed and irritated...I need to lose the weight,or i fear i will lose my family again...Jillian I know you can push me and help me..no sympathy...I need a rock star !!!
