Thanks for encouraging my entire family to get into shape. We think you are the greatest. We were wondering where can get one of the workout monitors that were on tonight's show? Thanks again.

Glad you are back! YOU ROCK!!

Welcome back Jillian!!! You rock girl! Do you have any advice on just starting out to the exercise part of losing weight/getting my body back in shape? I have the eating under control, just do not know where to start. Like many other people on here, I am a working mom, so my "free time" is very limited, but would rather be doing something active than watching TV. I also cannot afford to join a gym or get a personal trainer, so that is out. Any advice you can give would be great. THANKS!!

How can I become a player on The Biggest Loser? I just got married on March 17th 2007, and I have struggled with my weight for over 10 years! I have finally found love in my life! My husband is a pastor and I recently became a new Christian. I am ready to start my life over and comment myself to The Biggest Loser! I weight 250lbs. I need help! plese help me!
God Bless you!

Jillian, everyone talks about losing... is there a good way to gain? I weigh 163 lbs, and 42 years old. My Dr. says that every decade, you loose 10% of your body muscle. Do you have any ideas?
Thanks.
Jeff

Do you do personal training outside of biggest loser? Is there a website or a gym?

Welcome back! I’m glad to see you are back. I tried out for the show and thought I was lucky number 7 as I was 7th in line as we camped out the night before casting call. However, I guess I should not have believed in luck as I didn’t get cast. I just wanted to know do you do private personal training. I never thought I’d say I needed someone, but I am in desparate need of your help. I’ve tried to do it on my own, but it’s just not working. I have a very active soon to be 2 year old and I want to be here for him and play without getting tired. I am 32, 5'8", 323 lbs. Please can you help?

I really need help, I'm depressed and my kids don't understand why Daddy is not fun anymore. 4 Beautiful kids. I just can't keep up now. Money is an issue but I am getting mad now and I want to focus it in an old school workout. Can you help me. One big problem I have is when I get down Food seems to be my only comfort. If anyone can help me its you. Please help.

Hi Jillian,

I have debilitating arthritis in the knee from a car accident that makes it difficult to even walk around the house. What can I do for exercise when I am so limited? I want to lose about 100 pounds. What alternatives do I have to still lose weight and exercise without aggrevating my joints? Thanks so much! You guys are wonderful role models!

My question to you:

What does your weekly exercise routine look like?

Hi Jillian,

Im so happy your back this season. We miss you!
Kick some Black Team butt!
I work 8 hour days Monday through Friday. I work out in the morning and I workout when I get home from work. Do you think my workout plan is good?

What are they looking for when casting for the show? I really think that I could be a great candidate. I am determine to lose the weight but have no clue to how to lose the weight.

I am a graduate student, I work full time and I have children. I need the best work out that can be done in the shortest amount of time since I am short on that.

Hi Jillian, first i want to say thank you for doing what you do. You are a true inspiration. I've been overweight all my life but i've also been an athlete. Having been a college athlete, i know what it's like to go through tough workouts and be pushed to the limit but i still struggle with my weight. Lately i've had a great deal of hard times come up and have found it difficult to get motivated enough to lose weight. I want to do better. Also i was wondering what is the criteria to get on the show?

Hi Jillian,

Our community newspaper recently did an article about a young woman undergoing gastric bypass surgery. Now that people are doing this at a younger and younger age, what will this mean for our society?

Do you have an opinion on it?

Thank you

are the contestants get to bring their own music?

I am currently breastfeeding & plan to continue for at least 6 more months. I know my limitations as far as food is concerned, but are there any type of excersize/movements that I should avoid? i.e. chest press, etc.

How do you stay motivated when you can't afford a trainer and your friends aren't interested? Are you family?

hey jillian, im already on my path to weight loss. ive lost 11pds so far in about a month. im very anemic, i have to take meds for it. will this make it harder for me? i get tired very easy. iv been trying my hardest. what would you suggest would be best for me?

hi! im 5'1 and i weight 120 but im a dancer i was just wondering if you had a food and exercise plan that would help me lose about 15-20 pounds.thanks

Jillian,
I am 240 lbs and was just wondering if you have any workouts I could do? I’ve had stents put in my heart and also back surgery. Oh loved you on the show too! You really showed Bob and Kim how to win a weigh in!

At 24, 5'1 and approx 115 what tips could you give me to gain more muscle?? I've lost most of what I gained between h.s & graduation and would love it back. (I miss my toned arms!!) HELP! Thanks and you are amazing!

Jillian, I am 44, 5'3" and weigh 354 lbs. I have tried to start an exercise program, but I'm asthmatic and have had lower back surgery, which greatly limits my movements. I used to be a dancer growing up, so I love exercise. What do you suggest so I won't hurt myself? Thanks!

Jillian...first of all I hope the black team kicks some A$$! I swam competitively for 15 years and was very fit. Unfortunately at 36 its not like that anymore. I have 20 lbs to lose...have lost 10 of it. I don't have the facilities to swim anymore...but really need to tone the arms and work on the lower abs...help me please. I had my thyroid removed 14 years ago so have my metabolism controlled by synthoid. Need just a little direction from the best BL trainer!

After my football career ended I went from 325 to 475lbs. I've lost 75lbs in 4 months but have been stuck for 4 weeks now. Eating about 1500 calories/day. Workout 45-60 minutes per day. Any suggestions?

Hi Jillian, you are a great trainer. I have a question - How does beer consumption affect weight loss? Thank you very much

Watching you really motivates me i'm 5"7 and 245lbs. I,m dieting. Most of my weights in my stomach and boobs what excises can I do too tighten these areas.

I am so glad you are back. You are my inspiration. Too many questions for you, I'll read your book instead!!

I work out 6 days a week doing at least 45 min cardio and alternating days of working body parts. I count my calories, fat, protein and carbs and have lost 45lbs but need to lose another 30-40. I have hit a plateu and haven't lost any lbs in a couple weeks..Any suggestions of what to do when this happens? Change workout, diet or both?

BL inspired me to lose 80 lbs. I'm now in terrific shape and am training for a half-marathon.

I'm also looking into becoming a personal trainer myself. Do you have any recommendations or advice for getting my certification?

Hey Jillian, Congrats on your win tonight. You totally kicked their Butts!! I know Bob is Shakin in his Boots right now!!! (even though its pre-taped) Anywho, I'm overweight and I'm trying to get finally get off my butt and workout. I popped in one of your DVDs and noticed that I needed an excercise bench and light-weights to workout with the DVD. Why do you use those as oppose to using using nothing like other trainers?

Jillian, I really need some help here. Last year at work I fell off a telephone pole at work. I crushed my heel (26 pieces) and shattered my ankle. I can no longer function anywhere near the level I once did. I was already big but now its getting ridiculous. My lovely 4 kids don't understand why Daddy is no fun anymore. Food has become my comfort. Money is an issue for me now because I can't work as I did before. If anyone can tell me how to lose this weight in a low dollar low tech way you can. I'm getting mad and I really want to focus this anger in a way that will help me not hold me back. PLEASE HELP ME! I'll do what ever you say. I'm 335 now at 5'7". My wife and kids deserve a healthy father not what I have become.

i am so excited to see you back. What is a good workout for me that i can do that doesn't involve a gym i have 4 kids and very busy all the time we dont have a lot of money to invest in exercise equipment i go in spurts as to losing weight because i get disgusted by not seeing any results please help if anyone can it would be you thank you have a goog evening

HI Jillian!!! I have lost 33 pounds on my own just walking after back surgery. Now I can exercise and have just started your DVD's for front and back for beginners. I have lost 3 pounds since Sunday. Should I alternate these each day and not take breaks or should I do them all week and then take the weekend off? Also is that enough cardio in your dvd or should I add more? Thanks Love you so much..

Do you get to eat what you want when you want at all? I long to be that motivated. You rock!! Can you just call my voicemail and holler?

Hey Jillian..great to see you back..I am 60 and have a total hip replacement due to osteoarthritis...other than swimming..what are exercises that will produce results for stomach, arms and hip areas..yet are safe for my situation? thanks!!!

I've tried local gyms but my size embarrasses me when I look around the room and see tight little bodies. I'm 140lbs overweight. I used to be a professional belly dancer now I'm just a professional belly. Do you have any suggestions?

Hey Jillian,

What can I do about my butt and thighs? I've never really had nice legs and feel like I'm fighting a no win battle. I have a pretty good upper body but the lower half of me doesn't seem to change much. Help!

Jillian,

You ROCK! I KNEW the Black Team would pull it off this week. CONGRATS TO ALL!

I just celebrated my 49th B-Day with my first tattoo and I'm continuing my fight to be HOT again! I started at 281 last week and I'm at 275 this week. What can I do to keep my MOJO going without harming my knees? That is my biggest (pardon the pun) problem.

Thanks! And MUCH LOVE!
Debbi A.

hey jillian i am 20 years old and i just reached 200 pounds. About two years ago i was feeling really good about myself i was losing weight and in single digit sizes then i hurt my neck and exercising was unbearable. Well i finally got a doctor to help me with my neck and now i need advice on losing the weight. Most my weight is in my stomach. My family has a history of diabetes and i dont want that. i want to feel good about myself again as well. Any exercise and eating advise would be great. Especially anything to help the stomach like i said that is where most of my weight is. i think you are great on the show and it is truly inspirational thank you and keep up the awesome work

JILLIAN WELCOME BACK!!! When I found out that you were coming back on the show I was all giddy, and after your win tonight I was even more GIDDY!! My question is how do you feel about thermogentics. My trainer has me on a strict competition diet, and they want me to take thermos, yet I am hesitant to take them for the sake of competition.

I've been beaten down lately by people, verbally. I basically disklike myself. How do I heal? I'm on your online team. i left a post on your challenge board. my s\n is countrygal26.

yo, Jillian..Ive heard that exercise on the beach is tough on the joints. Any feedback?

Jillian, i am 5'2 and weigh l50 and cant shake the twenty pounds. I have a hour glass shape and am petite. But at forty six i cant seem to loose the weight. Currently i am walking three miles a day to try to take off the weight. Am i going to finally break this platuea and loose the weight?

I am glad you are back. I enjoyed reading your book. It inspired me to lose weight. I lost 30 lbs in 4 months, almost got out of the 200 lb, but I am now pregnant. So I am trying to be good, do you have any advise for someone like me.

Hi Jillian!! You rock sister! I'm so glad you're back this season, we missed you. What is your tattoo on your leg/ankle and what does it stand for?

I am working out 4 times a week: 45 min cardio, 45 min wieght training. I limit myself to 1350 calories a day, but only lose 1-2 pounds a week. How can I put up the big numbers like the contestants?

Jillian, any tips for moms? im crazy about working out but have a busy life so can't do it like i wish. that little pudge in the front just needs to go. any work out tips or diet tips? i usually run and lift a few weights.... thanks!

Hi Jillian,
I'm a 58y.o. female. I had a quad by-pass 2 1/2 years ago. Also have recently been diagnosed with hypothyroidism. I need to lose 35 pounds and also exercise. Is there anything in your program that you think would help me. Thank you.

Hi i was just wondering what food plan the contestants were on im 5'1 and i weight 120 pounds and im a dancer i was just wondering what type of exercise and food plan you suggest for me i want to lose 15-20 pounds.

ONE of my problems is that I have a broken vertebrae in my back from a car accident, and I am unable to walk more than 200ft at a time w/o extreme pain; I am unable to stand more than 10" at a time, nor can i sit longer than 20". I no longer work, and I have BiPolar disorder, so take many meds that don't help the weight issue. I am a Diabetic also and have my sugars under control with diet. What can I do to lose weight??

Hey Jillian! Welcome back...I sure missed you! I'm interested in being on the Biggest loser with you as my trainer. There are a few things I need to know though. First, I have arteriosclerosis, and am severely obese. What should I do to start the losing process? I've had problems with circulation. Any help will be appreciated. Love you

how do you get on the show?/

Hi Jillian,
How do you lose hip and or butt weight. I noticed that in the last year my butt has gotten wider and I really don't know what to do about it. The other parts of my body are okay but it's just the wide butt that I would like to lose. Any advice?

Hello, I am a huge fan of the show. My question is: How do you get over that plateau of weight loss? I lift and exercise daily, but for some reason I can't get the scale to change. How do I get back to that athletic body I am used to??

Hey Jillian! I'm working out to get back into shape/toned and lose weight for my sister's wedding next year and for myself. I've lost 25lbs so far and I have been thinking about training myself for a marathon...what types of workouts do you suggest?

ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS WELCOME BACK and you don't even know how giddy I was when I found out that you were back on the show. Congratulations for a BLACK TEAM WIN I was even more giddy with the win becasue i know how it feels to be an outcast. Anyways my question for you is how do you feel about thermogentics my trainer has it on my competition diet, and i am extremely leary about this, how do you feel and do you feel that it should be taken for ultimate toning? I have thus far for my comp have lost 13 lbs and am stated that i need to lose 8 more before competition.
THANKS!

I was a Division I athlete in college and always in shape but now, I am starting to add the pounds and while completely miserable about it, I cannot stop eating. I want too so bad but I just don't know how. What should I do?

I'm 26 overweight and a breast cancer patient. During chemotherapy what are some things that I can do at home to help keeping my weight down until I get on a daily workout program? Thanks

Hey Jillian!! (^_^)

It's good to see that your back! I've been a big fan of you work since the first time I saw the way you deal with your team members. Not only do you give them a reason to try to reach their goals, but you stay by their side the whole time. I was kind of hoping that you can send me an autographed picture from you.
Your fan and friend,
Selina Patlan

Jillian,
You are my role model! I am 16 and i've stuggled with my weight my whole life, but I have worked really hard with losing weight and gaining muscle so one day I want to be a trainer just like you! I have taken on the task on training my mom, she is dangerously over weight and has a lot of health problems. I want to keep her motivated like you keep your team motivated! She has bad back and leg problems and it is hard for her to do certain exercises. Do you have any pointers on things she can do since she has bad back and leg problems? Any advice would be great! You are so amazing and I can't wait to start training people and changing lives like you do!!! :) :) :)

Hi Jillian, you are a fantastic trainer. I have a question - How does beer consumption affect weight loss? Thank you very much

Glad you are back Jillian!
I am and have been try to loose weight. I eat weight watchers and make sure no meals after 7PM. My problem is I suffer from low back and neck injury and not sure what exercises other than walking will help me loose the 50lbs without causing myself more pain. I really need to loose as I know the extra weight is not helping my back. Please any advice would be great. Much success to all the teams!!

How many hrs per day do ya'll train at the campus?
I'm also glad you're back!!!

Like many others - I'm a huge fan I'm so glad you're back!!! I'm often short on time and rarely do more than 40 mins. cardio 3-4x week. If I have good muscle tone - i'm kinda stocky actually. Do I really have to make time for weight training? Should I just try to burn off the fat on top of my muscle?

Thanks!

Hi Jillian is good to see you back on the show. I am just wondering about lossing weight after having a baby. I had three babies back to back to back and i have put on about 25lbs and i am breastfeeding i am wondering what i should eat and do to loss some weight

Jillian,

Jillian,
You rock! Why is Vermont listed as a state that cannot be considered for your one-on-one training? Can you come to Vermont?
We need you!!!

I've been trying to lose weight on my own for about 2and a half months- spending almost 2 hours a night 4 times a week at the gym (doing mainly cardio)and have been unable to lose weight. What are some suggestions to help me break the barrier?

You coming back was like seeing the Knight on the black horse coming through the mist.Our champion is home!You're awesome! I'm so glad you're back.I need to lose a little over 70lbs. I know what to do pretty much... I read your book, It's just a matter of doing it. I'm working on finding my inspiration right now. Watching you coming back is a huge motivator. Thank you!

No money for gym. Cheap treadmill daily do the trick?

Jillian,
How do I lose tummy fat the most effective way?

How have you achieved so much!? I am a trainer in Boston and love this show. I would love to be where you are at some day! Please see me and my fitness videos at Diet.com and FitnessAndWomen.com!!

job well done...

I started losing weight about a year ago. I lost 55 using the Biggest Loser club. I stopped losing weight about a year ago and I am having a hard time being motivated. What would you suggest I do to start loding weight again?

I am a young lady who weighs about 230 llbs and am only 5'5. Can you please give me advice or help on some exercises and diet plans that I can do to lower my load (LOL)? I want to go down to at least 150...whats a realistic goal and time frame to do this?

I am so glad you're back! I have a right shoulder injury which left me in chronic pain and RSD/CRPS (nerve damage where the nerves in my arm tell my brain i'm in pain all the time). How can i work my abs without aggravating my shoulder? Sit ups are excruciating on my shoulder as i can't lift it more than shoulder level?
Also, how can you eat healthy on a shoestring budget?
THanks

hi jillian! so glad you're back. i applied for the show, if i get on, i hope i get you.
how do you eliminate cellulite and fat deposits.

How do you keep from getting bored with homework outs?

Hi Jillian,

I had gastric bypass 3 years ago and although i've lost 110lbs none of it has been due to working out. What suggestions do you have to get me motivated? I know i'll lose more if I excersise but I just hate it.

Jilian,

On the show, the contestants lose so much weight when in real life, it is only recommended to lose 2-3lbs a week. Is it safe or not for the average person to try and lose so much weight in such a short period of time?

I'm not much of a cook and I'm usually in a rush anyway, so often I just heat up a lean pocket or a lean cuisine. I'm sure all the sodium isn't good for me though... what is your opinion on microwavable diet foods?

Jillian,
I am 36yo female with lupus and would like some suggestions on what exersices are good that willnot cause my lupus to act up.

I am working out 4 times a week: 45 min cardio, 45 min wieght training. I limit myself to 1350 calories a day, but only lose 1-2 pounds a week. How can I put up the big numbers like the contestants?

Jillian,

I've lost 168 lbs since November thanks to the Biggest Loser motivating me to get off my butt! I'm hitting a plateau right now, and still have a lot to lose. What weight lifting would you suggest for me to keep going?

how does one lose weight when i don't like vegetables or fish? I am a very picky eater and i am always hungry. I have an underactive thyroid also. Thanks

Hey

I bought a Nordic Elliptical as an investment in myself. Is it better to go with the heart rate program or one of the timed programs when starting out?

Welcome back! Do you have a favorite workout? And what is your advice on how to lose belly fat?

just wanted you to know what an inspiration you are. I started out at 273 and now I am at 205 and still going strong. Thanks for the work out dvd, it is great......

You are my inspiration. Can you just give me some personal words of encouragement to make it through. I dont want to die young like my mother did. Your the only one that can help me now.

I glad your back!!!! I weigh 117, 5'5 I want to beef up and look like you. What do I need to do to get that way. Also what foods would you advise.

Welcome back! How would you suggest a 286lb female who has hypertension and depression, that gets tired just walking, start exercising? Even when the meds make me tired all the time.

you guys rock the motivation you give your teams is awesome. I worked out for years and been on hiatus for awhile finding it hard to get back into, seeing the show and the accomplishments of everybody is keeping me thinking. Now to do something about it.
THANX.

Hey Jillian,
You ROCK!! Any pointers on staying focused on losing weight when your kids can eat anything...in front of you. I need to lose 130 pounds in order to not become a diabetic like my father.

Jillian, can't be more stoked you're back (in black) on biggest loser!! LOVE IT! I recently ran my first marathon in 4 hrs 44 mins. Your newsletter from your website has been a great source of inspiration and knowledge. Your presence on the biggest loser was sorely missed...lol. I appreciate your philosophy and drive, and proud to see a strong confident powerful woman bringing out those qualities in others.

Jillian! I got chills watching you arrive last week!! I have a 5 week old baby and small toddler. I am nursing and sleep deprived, but want to utilize this time for as much weight loss healithy as possible. Single mom working FT makes working out time limited. Suggestions on work out and diet?

Jillian, first of all, it's great to see you back on the show. I think you're awesome. I have a question. I am not able to work out because I have a herniated disc. I've cut down on eating out but I still can't lose any weight. Do you have any suggestions for me?

i wish YOU would kick my butt!! i need it!! i wish i could be on the next season.
:(

Hi Jillian

I would love you help in anyway ( train me would be great I would be your biggest success story :-) I really need that push. I am 20lbs shy of 600lbs. I was a workout machine 5 years ago at 290lbs but lost my folks and fell into depression and turned to food to comfort me.. Any advice

you all are great, the problem with me trying very hard just to lose 30-35lbs, is i am in the food service business. I work as a cook in a nursing home. and its very hard not to take a "little bite of this or that"

Hi Jillian, I'm thrilled you are back. I knew you were the best before and it still bears up. I have a bad heart to say the least..only 17% left functioning with an ejection fraction in the low twenties. I only had one attack, and the only hope I have is a future transplant. The longer I can keep what I have going the better for me. I'm also having to fight diabetes. Got any suggestions to keep me around until I get to meet you. I just can't get enough of your smile and SUCCESS!!
All my personal best to ya, and hope ya stay cuz I really missed ya!
as always
jim

Jillian you are awesome! This show got so much better. I wish I was on your team. I know I could loose weight with your help.

JILLIAN!!! I am a 14 year old female and weigh about 105ish. But i have flappy legs and need to exercise more. What kind of plan should i use to accomplish this?

I have lost 30 pounds over the past year but cutting back and exercising but have hit the brick wall...I have tried to exercise more by walking on days I don't do aerobics and weight training..any thoughts?

What is the best excercise to get rid of belly fat? I've lost 30 lbs. and can't seem to get rid of it!

Jillian!! I am so happy that you are back on the show!

I have an existing ankle injury and am wondering if you have any suggestions for an outdoor workout that can be low impact? Also, if weight loss is based on calories consumed vs. calories spent, why must you eat more to lose weight when working out? I would think you would eat less to maximize weight loss.

Hey Jillian! So good to have you back, you're awesome and I want to be on your team!!
Is it bad for your body to consume fruit AND vegetables at the same time?
Thanks and GO BLACK!!

Jillian,

I'm so glad your back. YOU ROCK!! Can you give us all some advice on those points where we get stuck on that stubborn weight for weeks and sometimes months?

Hey Jillian,

Big fan of yours!! Am in need of some good advice, please. I am about 50 lbs overweight, disabled and have a few physical problems. My activity level is almost non-existent. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Hey Jillian-You are one tough trainer on the black team and you push them so hard which only makes them stronger. I need to know if you have any motivation to get to the gym after being at work all day leaving at 6am and getting home at 5pm just makes it so once I am home I don't get there. Any help you can offer would be much appreciated. Thanks Carolyn

Wow, I love the new season! This show has always been motivating, but now with Jillian back too, even better! I too am one who needs to get rid of lower belly fat, I've lost 76 lbs, an 5' with that ugly apron, UG

Hey girl, whats happenin!? Hey I have been doing a lo-carb diet and have done pretty well with it. What would you recommend as far as cardio or weight training to drop a bit more weight? Is there one thats better than the other?

Thanks Jillian - you Rock!! KICK SOME RED AND BLUE BUTT - SORRY BOB!! :)

OMG Jillian your my HERO!!! i watch the BL ever since it starterd I WAS SO SAD when you left!!!! and when kim came on....i was like ARE YOU KIDDING ME? THIS IS WHO IS REPLACING JILLIAN!???!

-LAUREN!
reply if you can PLZ! xoxox

Glad to see you back Jillian, You look great!
I lost my motivation, well it's borderline... I talk myself into sleeping in instead of getting up a bit earlier to fit in a walk or jog (it's the only time i have available) i'm only 20 pounds above my weight, it was 15, three months ago it was only 10.... i don't want to see it keep going up. (the older i get the harder it is...)
Thanks for any tips! Ciao for now ~ Rita

Hi Jillian,
I think something should be done for those of us that have the last 30lbs. or so to lose. We don't qualify for the biggest loser but that "last little bit" is the hardest to lose. I've been dieting since I was in 6th grade. I've all but given up on getting the perfect body "your body"! What can I do??? My mind has beat my body and I feel I'll be fat for the rest of my life. My bp was going to give me a heart attack so I lost 60 lbs. I still have at lest 30 to go but I just don't see it happening and it gets so discouraging. Please help me to get back in the "mind"! Thanks for listening,
Jeannie

Jillian, i have three kids and have lost my job recently, i have noticed that i have started eating alot more. not sure if its the stress or if i am depressed. i was wondering if there is any info you can give me to help deal with these issues instead of eating all the time?

what are great tips for getting abs fast

Jullian,I am a 150lb woman who is looking to lose 20 lbs in the next month;is it possible. And what excersise are good for the thigh area that can be done at home. This is where most of my weight leighs. The rest is in my abs. The upper part of my body is very small.

Welcome Back Julian!
I'm 5'6 and I weight 158. I want to lose 15 pounds of fat...suggestions, please.

I was just wondering how long do you have those people workout per day and what is their food plan? I think you do a great job and love watching you.

Go black team!!!

I am 28 yrs old and a mother of three. I need to lose at least 75 pounds. I know how to. My problem is the motivation. Do you have any suggestions? By the way, I am so glad you are back.

Julian it is so great to see you back, I have said if i ever get on biggest loser i want you as a trainer, you get the best out of all. I am 54 years old and I weigh 400, how should i start with exercise what should i do

Jillian,
At what point would you recommend a woman do lap band or another surgery rather than losing weight through diet and exercise?
Thanks, you rock!

Hey Jillian, I think you ROCK!! Do the contestant lose that much weight in a week?

hey jullian im angie and im 31 yrs old 4'11 and weigh 272 i just started going tto the gym and was wondering what kind of cardio should i be doing to loss weight quicker

How does one go about applying to be on the show?

Welcome Back Jillian!! I've started going back to the gym and losing a few pounds. I've tried to lose my last 10 pounds for over a year now but it won't come off. Any suggestions? Thanks and it's nice to see you back!!

What is that item that you guys are using to track the individuals? Is it like a heart rate monitor? How does that work? And how can I get my hands on one of them?

Jillian,
i eat healthy and use to work out everyday and i don't work out as much but do it as often as i can and lost about 10 lbs. now i'm at a stand still and i'm in a wedding in about a month, i need to lose more weight before this wedding , please help, thank you

Hey Jillian, you rock!! I really love the show. I just wanted to ask you what is the most efficient way to boost a person metabolism?

WTG Jillian... nice to see you back;)

Jillian: You're an inspiration to me. I only have 20 pounds to lose and I feel like I'm doing everything right but the scale isn't moving. I eat about 1300-1500 calories per day and work out 6 days per week doing weights and cardio (I have a 1/2 marathon in one month). I can't get the scale to move. I eat very healthy. Anything to kick start a loss?
Thanks!!

Jillian, how did you manage to motivate the contestants in the desert without breaking their spirits? Do you try to motivate people differently, depending on their personalities?

Jillian you are my she-roe. You look incredible and I know in the past you have struggled with your weight. I made the decision to start conquering my weight today. Thanks

how do I remove the 'hanging' belly fat? Is it doable by losing the weight or do I need surgery after the weight loss? I am 5'10" and 230

what do you think of the BMI scale?

Hi Jillian,

Im so happy your back this season. We miss you!
Kick some Black Team butt!
I work 8 hour days Monday through Friday. I work out in the morning and I exercise when I get home. Is that ok for a workout plan?

Can you help skinny out of shape women. Sounds like a new show. Love ya glad your back.

I have gained 20 pds in less than a year...I have never had weight problems until I got married and of course getting older. I would like to know what I need to do to loose this weight and FAST. I have a lot of the BL info and I just wanted to know what you suggested....I would love to have you as a personal trainer but I know that won't happen, so advice would be great....I think you are a great person and can make a lot of people feel good about themself. thanks

Hi Jillian. Way to kick butt on tonights show.

I am getting into a vegitarian lifestyle and would like to know of anything I should be doing to keep my energy level up. (Supliments, etc)

I love the show.
Kim

HI jillian

Since you have done both TBL USA and TBL austriala who do you think is more competive ?

How many hours a week should the average overwieght person work out?

thx so much

JR

I would like to know what is being monitored by the armbands the team members are wearing and where can I get them.

Hi Jillian,

First off--you rock!

Second...I'm a full time college student so I really don't have the budget to afford any kind of gym membership. How do I get started without having equiptment to help and how do I stay motivated and keep going. I've quit so many times and I'm so tierd of quitting.

I LOVE the biggest loser and am determined to follow along this year and lose weight with you guys.....I would like to get intouch with Angela who posted the one about being close to 300 and 34-36 yrs. old and depressed. Can you help?

Jillian,
I am so happy to see you kickin' a** and taking names! You are DA BEST TRAINER on biggest loser!

Welcome back Jillian! I can't work out without my knees killing me. Am I doing something wrong?

Black is in! Great episode tonight! Can't wait to see the rest of the season!

Jillian. My dad is one of your biggest fans when it comes to the show. I'm just wondering, he's lost about 80lbs already, normally he's quit his working out and diet by now but hasn't this time. He is border line diabetic and eating more healthy and working out everyday. Is there anything special you can suggest for him? He's had knee and shoulder surgery from when he was hit by a semi, and has some arthritis. Any advice would be great.

CONGRATULATIONS ON THE BLACK TEAM WINNING TONIGHT!

Is there anyway that the whole team can win as a team the prize money? It seems unfair in the show that only person wins instead of their team!

Jillian glad you are back....You and Bob rock....Can't wait to see you annialate your replacement

I am in my early 40's and have arthritis in my feet and knees. I have a hard time exercising. I tried exercising in the pool. I am really over weight and unhealthy and really want to lose weight. Any sugguestions or do you know who I might contact for help.

Jillian, it's nice to see you back on the show. That is what this show needs is the attitude and push that these people need. I need something like this in my life. I had a question for you. Do you have any quick exercises that I could do at home before bed every night? It is hard for me to do sit-ups because it hurts my back pretty badly, but I will do whatever you say to do? I will post a new blog every week if I could get some help from you now. I am 25 years of age and I weight about 350 lbs. I have a two year old daughter, and I want to be around when she gets married and I want to be around to see my future grandchildren, and I am afraid that I won't be if I don't do something about this now. I eat well, but for some reason I just can't seem to cut a good amount of weight. Thanks Jillian and now that your back I will be watching every week.

Jillian, Why did you Leave? I am So Glad to see you back. Form a fellow Black Belt

Jillian! This is Katie - we met last week in New York - I'm SO GLAD your team won!! Good heavens.

I have a question about cardio vs. strength training...is there a percentage you recommend for maximum heart health + metabolism + fat loss?

This isn't so much as a weight question as it is a muscle question. With extensive training everyday (alternating lower and upper body), how long until result are noticeable?

I have been working out at least 3 times a week and have yet to lose any weight. What suggestions do you have to get it going?

What's your opinion on working single body parts each day at the gym, ex: chest & tris, back & bis, legs, shoulders, etc.?

I have lost about 30 pounds now and can not loose my man boobs any work out suggestions

I am SOOO happy to see your smiling face on the biggest loser again. This show and you have motivated me in my own life (I just ran my first triathlon: YEAH!!).
Anyway, we all see the types of workouts you apply on biggest loser, but I am wondering what your typical workout schedule is?

I go through spells when I loose weight, then go stagnant for a few months. How can I keep going with my eating plan and exercise.

i had the gastric bypass surgery about two years ago and have lost more than 200lbs but i seem to be at a stand still now...ihave about 50lbs more to lose before i am happy enough to get all the extra skin removed...but i had to let my trainer go...you guys get expensive...and i joined a gym but i have a hard time thinking of different workouts to do...any suggestions????

hey, assistance w/exercises - i have two bad knees and lower back what can i do -- what types of foods can I eat to lower my trigliserites

glad you are back

You are beautiful and I am certianly glad to see you are back. I am getting ready to work out at he local YMCA. Just wish someone was there to motivate me. Anyway, I will keep your advice in mind.

Where do I find the MOTIVATION! I know what to do, how to do it, know what to eat. I just can't get myself to DO IT! I quit smoking, have put on 20 lbs - I know I can do it - but I can't get motivated! Help me with the motivational factor! Thanks!

Quick question, my 10 year old son is height/weight fine.

But he seems to not be "fit" he rides his bike and swims, plays football and baseball and basketball.

But he just can't seem to run. How do I work on getting his endurance up?

How many hours a day do you work out with your team and is weight training the key to losing those extra pounds?

you showed who was the better trainer! keep kickin butt! lol(gotta keep it pg)

jullian glad to see you back i need to lose about 160lbs what is the best excercises to start out. btw kick blue and red teams azz girl.

If there were one or two foods I should never eat again (because of their high fat content or nonexistent nutrtional value), what would they be?

i want to know about how many hours should an obese person workout for weight lost? and with that asked, how would they avoid loose skin?

Hey Jillian! I'm 15 years old, 5'5", and about 160 pounds. I want to get to 130 pounds (and maintain it) by the end of May next year. Any Advice?

~Brooke

u are a great trainer and u have the power everyone needs to lose weight.i watch the show ever time its on .u are great.

Hey JILLIAN, show them what you're workin with girl! I'm so excited you are back just in time for me to make a comeback of my own. Keep the great advice flowing on the blog.

What exercises would you do to tone your thighs and buttocks? You Rock!!!!

Jillian your my fav!
I am 22 tomorrow, I way 200lbs. I have an 18 month old son and my boyfriend is in jail so I have full responsability and no time. Plus I am broke as a joke. I really need some advice, help or whatever. I am so depressed over my weight it's not even funny. Please help, what should I do?

I am walking 2 miles each night and have lost 30 lbs, I want to ask is there anything I can do for my flabby arms....I can deal with everything but am so ashamed of my arms. Please help

Hi Jillian, what would your workout recommendations be for a 48 yr. old female with a herniated disk (L5-S1)?

Do you have any suggestions for a work out that would help someone who is on physical disability and though I walk every day for mile and some arm exercises, the weight doesn't seem to come off. I count my calories and watch what I eat, but it comes down to my exercises...not knowing what to do?

I am a diabetic, what weight loss techniques do you suggest?

Jillian I am so glad that you are back. My question is what can I do to lose weight while doing fertility treatment.

When you're okay weight-wise but want to tone up, how should you split up the cardio and weightlifting? Should you do one more than the other?

Jillian you're the best. I was so disappointed you weren't there last season, emailed telling them to lose the new girl and bring you back - you rock.

You need to be MY trainier. You are the best motivational trainer I know. Don't let up on them and wip some butt!!!!

Jillian,

i love your tough workouts! I step up my game in my workouts thinking of what you would say if I wanted to quit. Thanks for the inspiration!!!

My wife is starting your online program and she works 12am till 8am. How should she start her schedule?

Why were the numbers so low for the second week on the fourth season?

jill, wut a great show....can u train me? lol....let me kno:-)

it didn't take my question...weird!
So glad to have ya back Jillian - I wish youc ould train me in person!! I need it!
I have osteoarthritis, whats the best exercise for me?

Your ARMS rock!!! Can you share two or three key exercises to get those arms?

Jillian, first I am sooo glad you are back. You are the BEST!! I was wondering if you can make a two recommendations, first, out of all your books..which one should I get first? Second, as a runner that just broke my ankle, do you have any advice for in the meantime before I get back up and running?
Oh yah..your beautiful by the way =o)

You are amazing!

What motivates you and makes you such an inspiring person?

Hey Jillian, you rock!! I really love the show. I just wanted to ask you what is the most efficient way to boost a person metabolism?

I really want to improve my 5k race pace, I'm in it to get a scholarship for college cross country. Do you know of any good exercises or change in diet that can help me achieve this?
Thanks a lot

Glad to see your back...The show was not the same without you.

I'm 30, over 400lbs and have HPB and bad back and knee problems. What would you suggest as a good way of trying to loose the weight? I'm working on eating better but without working out, I'm not sure how to loose the weight?

How does a person exercise when recovering from surgery? Doc says no running for 3 months! What else low impact can I do?

Your 10 ton challenge winner right here....watching. BRING IT ON! Gotta go get a workout in. See you next year when we workout. ROCK ON Jillian!

Jillian - I just have to say you rock! I'm 5'3" and weigh 110 but would give anything to get cut up and toned like you, where can I find you to train me! Or what can you advise? I gain from my waist to my knees when I gain. I've done squats and lunges of 14 inch steps with weights for ever and still can't seem to get a hard butt and firm thighs! Please help, would love to meet and train with you, I know you would kick my butt! : )

Hi!

Me and my mom are both overweight and veryyy out of shape-will you come and whip our butts into shape?

we live in florida-WE'LL TAKE YOU TO DISNEY!!!
=o)

I am so excited that you are back, that I have started walking an hour every night . This has caused MAJOR blisters on both feet and toes. I don't want to stop, what is the fastest fix ...?

Jillian, I just want say that you rock, and it's good to see you back on the show. Your bootcamp method I think is the most effective. People don't need to be babied, they need to be pushed and encourage to lose weight, and even though your tough, that's what they need to win. So with that said my question to you is, what kind of bike was that you were driving on the first episode?

Hey! I was just wondering if running 1 mile @5.5 and walking 1 mile @4.0 @ 4.5 incline then running again .5 mile @ 5.5 is a good enough daily workout to lose 10lbs and tone?

Hi Jillian and Bob I love you both from season 1.Can you tell me what I can do to get motivated for a workout after working all day? Thank you keep doing what you do .

Jillian - I have lost 35 lbs out of a total of 60 (goal = 120). The last 3 months I have hit a plateau - Help. what are some ways to "trick" my body and jumpstart my weightloss again. i exercise an hour daily and eat around 1500 calories a day

I just need to lose about 10 pounds. It seems that losing a little weight is a lot harder. Any suggestions?

Jillian great job so far!! How do I get my abs back after a C-Section?

Hey Jillian - Glad to see you're back!

Just a couple of quick questions about toning muscle. What's the best way to tone your upper arm muscles? And whats the best way to lose that annoying chub in the upper thigh area?

Thanks much!

Jillian,
I am looking to put weight on. I have a good muscle tone, but I would love to add 20 pounds. How do I do it?

Jillian! Glad to see youre back on the show! Wife and I love watching it, its inspiring every time.

Doing any upcoming marathons?

Hi Julian
Glad to have you back. Does a person need a trainer?

The show energized me and I did 40 min. on the eliptical - all in my 70 - 85 zone. First time in a long time.

Have you ever worked with people who have major health/medication issues? For instance, people who have been on long term corticosteroids for lupus or Crohn's disease? COPD patients? How do you handle people with serious health problems?

Hi Julian! Welcome back! I am a vegitarian and need help with what right foods to eat! Please help!

Jillian, I know you talk about working on the inside as well as the outside. Are there any good books you can recommed for working on the inside. I know that is one of my main problems,

thanks

Jillian, any tips for moms? im crazy about working out but have a busy life so can't do it like i wish. that little pudge in the front just needs to go. any work out tips or diet tips? thanks!

Hey Jillian--way to kick butt out there!

What sort of advice would you give a female, teenage martial artist who isn't "overweight," but would love to become stronger and leaner?

As far as dietary ratio, what should I consume as far as carbs/proteins/fats, and when?

What should I plan to do more of--cardio workouts, or resistance training?

Thanks, girl. You are such an inspiration!

Jillian, I've heard you're into martial arts. Is there a particular style of martial arts that would be a good way for a beginner to lose weight?

I just hit the mid-30 age and my muscle is turning into fat. I have NEVER been overweight, but if I dont do something about it now, I am afraid I might be. How do I turn this fat back into muscle quickly? Most is in my thighs. What is a good exercise for the thighs? THX,

I have knee problems and I want to work out the back of my thighs. Squats hurt my knees, so what excercises can I do for this?

i have 2 herniated disks in my lower back. i need to lose at least 100lbs. any suggestions on exercise. right now i walk using a walker. but what about my arms etc. i am on a no fried, no salt and sugar diet. any help would be appreciated

What can I do to get the most out of a daily hour of excercise?

Jillian, so glad your back. I've followed your web tips for months and have lost close to 50 lbs...any advice on getting past that dreaded 200 mark which I seem to get stuck on time and time again?

Luv ya, way to kick butt this season!!

Hi, jillian. knowing that Julie has PCOS do you change anything in the workout or the eating habits for her? I too have pcos and know how hard it is to lose weight. Thanks Melissa

JILLIAN
I HAVE HAD SURGERY ON MY KNEE AND MY DR SAID NO RUNNING, JUMPING OR KNEELING. WHAT EXERCISES CAN I DO TO LOSE WEIGHT?

Jillian,
I need some advice on a way to shed pounds that is safe for me. I have the beginning of degenerative disk disease in my lower back. I also tend to reach for comfort food when I have struggles in my life such as helping my son with autism. Help.

Any tips for how to lose the last bit of weight? I've lost about 85 pounds and am finally close to a healthy BMI, but I can't seem to lose the last 15 pounds, even with 6 days a week of weight training and cardio.

I actually have 2 questions.
1) I am 5'9 and 185. I have always had a hard time losing weight and wonder what techniques you can give me. I work and go to school so finding time is hard...not only to work out, but also to eat. I don't eat fast food...usually...maybe once a month ..if that. WHat tips can you give me.

2) My mom is also in my situation, she weighs more then me...maybe 260 something. SHe has gone on diability due to a recent diagnosis with her heart, and was also recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. She goes to the pool and works out regularly...walking and doing different pool activities..what advice can you give her.

Thanks

P.S. Until work and school got to much i was in martial arts for a few years...that helped and i love it...but cant afford the time or price right now.

Welcome back Jillian!!! We love you!!! What are some ways to keep myself motivated? I know I can do this...Im 24, 5'9 and 220 pounds.

Again, welcome back!

Hi Jillian! My sister is a severe asthmatic what exercies could I do with her that would help instead of weigh her down? She finds it difficult after short periods of time. I'd love to motivate her more :) Thanks!

yo Jillians the shi*...saw her on tyra total bada**! anyways my question is about a efficent diet that doesnt take alot of time to prepare because i have school all day then have a hour before i work all night. Or does the diet reallly matter that much, can workin out on weekends be enough to get in shape?

I gained 39 lbs after fracturing 2 vertabrae. I can start exercising again, but I can't seem to get cardio in because my back is weak. Any suggestions?

I'm so happy your back Jillian! I need some help here I am 4 7 and 158lbs I need to drop this weight please help. With what to eat and exercise??

Jillian - you rock!! Can a 32 year old, previous college athlete get back into the best shape of her life, even after back surgery a year ago!! Please help!

You rock!

I was a college athlete who was in good shape, but after graduating two years ago and getting a full time job I don't have the time I use to for working out and running. Any suggestions on workouts I can do in my apartment to help keep me in shape?

Hi Jillian,

What are the armsbands they are wearing this season to help them keep track of their workouts?

I love your arms!! Glad to see you!!

Hey Jillian, you my fav! I am so glad you are back this season. I need advice from you. I am 22 years old tomorrow. I have a 18 month old son and my boyfriend is in jail. My weight is such a problem and I am so broke it's not even funny. I just don't know what to do. I don't have alot of time on my hands to do anything. I am 200lbs, I don't want to look like this anymore. What can I do? I really need your help. I'm so depressed about my weight but I don't have alot of time to do anything. Please help me!
Thank you

Jillian- you absolutely rock! You are fierce and I wish I had someone like you- a pit-bull on my behind to help me be consistent with working out. It's really hard with a full time job and as a full time graduate student. It seems like I cannot find the time. Any advice?

I am so glad you are back. Watching the Black Team inspires my roommate and I to work out as we watch the show. And we love the new 2 hour episodes! Go Black Team!

Jillian, will you marry me? :) Just wanted to say good work on the show!

i really am tryin to loes my stomach weight

Jillian! You're awesome I missed you so much when you left! I joined a popular Weight Loss Center back in July and have lost 16 lbs in 8 weeks. What can I do as far as exercising to accelerate my weight loss? I do the Biggest Loser 2 DVD at least 3 times a week.

Kick Amy's BUTT!! I LOVE U!!!

Jillian,
Do you have advice for those of us who need to lose less than 20 pounds? It's so hard getting that last bit of weight off. What do you think is more important, diet or exercise?

i need to lose weight but have a shoulder injury that i am recovering from any suggestions for exercises?

whats the average time someone works out a day at the camp

I have an achilles tear what is something I can do for cardio with this injury.

If you had only 30 minutes what would you do to work out?

This is my first time here. I have never blogged so I don't know if I am going to do this correctly.

Any suggestions for current hopefuls to make it on season 5? How much did you enjoy handcuffing someone to a treadmill? :)

Im just starting out going to the gym, what machines should I use and how long to start out
?

I am a diabetic and working late hours, I am having problems getting excerise training started as by the time I get home and eat supper it is 9:00p.m. I also have had seven knees surgeries and have problems bending my knees, any suggestions

jillian i am so glad your back! your awesome, and i hope your team kicks butt this time around.

So glad to have ya back!
I have osteoarthritis, weigh 250 @ 5'3 any exercise suggestions?

What is your driving force to stay motivated?

Hi,i want to get rid of my cellulite.What excersice should i do?

I have lost 25 lbs, can't get the lower belly fat off. please give me some pointers. It just looks so bad

Welcome back!!! My question is how can I make the Biggest Loser program work for me as I suffer from PVD and hypothroidism? Please help! Thanks so much. By the way... you look terrific!

Hey Jillian!! So pumped to see you on tonight!! I thought out loud earlier that I would love to have you as a trainer for a month~~maybe then I could stay motivated!! I weighed 110 before my second child and haven't been able to stay motivated after having her 4 years ago~~and now, being like 130 on a 5'2" frame~~it isnt' comfortable to me. How can I get motivated and stay there?!

Jillian,
You rock! How do I go about finding a personal trainer? I've done 30 day trials at two different gyms this year and neither had anyone on staff that seemed to care.

where can I find the diets of the contestants

i want an amazing trainer like you! what do i ask and what should i look for? thanks!

Hi Jill! I'm a big fan of yours. I recently joined the 24 hr. fitness here in Dallas..you are an encouragement to me!

JILLIAN YOU ROCK !!!
SO GLAD YOU BACK
KEEP ON KICKIN BUTT
I WISH I WAS ON YOUR TEAM

Jullian...America missed the heck out of you...Thank God you're back!!

Hey all!! I have a trainer and am doing well with exercise, but I am having a lot of trouble eating right. I crave junk food really bad, and I give in a lot. I'm tired of struggling with this...can someone help? My trainer just says to not eat it, but I can't seem to shake these cravings..is there something that I can eat that will help my brain get satisfaction? Thanks!

Jillian Baby you ROCK!!! So glad to have you back on the show! Am 90 pounds down and 90 to go! You inspire the hell out of me...Tell me you're family and you'll do so even more! ;)

Hi Jillian so glad to see you back on the show! I am a 35 yr old female who is 265 lbs. and most of my weight is in my abdominal area. What is the best way to lose the weight & tone up as I suffer from a small hernia in the umbilical area the doctors say is just a fat pocket. Thank you in advance!

Jillian,

I'm SO impressed by your drive and determination in everything you do, including fitness.

How do you manage to keep your head on straight through everything? Do you have a support system, or other ways to keep yourself centered?

What would you suggest for someone who has NO support system, yet still wants to continue losing weight, no matter how lonely it gets?

Hey Jillian I think you're awesome!

When you're good weight-wise but want to tone, should you be doing more cardio or weight-lifting or have an equal balance??? Thanks!

I need help with losing my lower ab fat...Ever since i can remember i have always had a "pooch" can you give me some tips please!!

hi,

What advice can i give my fiance to help him loose weight after his lapband surgery? what sort of diet should he be on?

I am sooooo glad you are back. It is amazing to see you in action. I am so glad you took on the underdogs and came out on top!!!! Congrats. It's the black team all the way, baby!!!

I just wanted to say you looked great girl!!! and I weigh 240 pounds and dont eat that much what am I doing wrong !! I have thyorid problems can that be a factor thanks and welcome back black team rules!!!

HI JILLIAN! You looked awesome tonight! I'm a mother of 2 boys (my youngest being 6 months). Is there any exercise in particular that will help me lose the baby fat?? Thank you! LOVE YOU!!

Jullian: You absolutely rock. You have motivated me to lose weight; be strong with my conviction and start taking care of myself for myself. This 53 year old ain't gonna be fat no more!

How does one with medical disablilities that can't run get on the show? I really wandered if NBC would ever consider doing that for the disabled americans.

I am soooooo glad you are back and with a vengence. Congrats to your black team, I am pulling for you!!

You are obviously buff, what does your normal workout routine consist of?

Is coffee bad for you when dieting?

Hey Jillian you are my favorite! I wish I could be there working out with you right now so I could get the kick in the butt I need. I had my first baby five months ago and had an emergency c-section. Now as a result I have an apron belly. What are some specific cardio and core strengthening routines I can do to get this baby weight off? Thanks!

Okay, Jillian, I have been skeptical in the past, (even participated in a local biggest loser here in Eastern NC) but am sticking with you and the black team. I am unofficially on your team. Hitting the gym tomorrow -go guys.

Hi,I recently started exercising and I want to get rid of my cellulite,what type of exersice should i do?

Glad to see Jillian back on the show..It is going to be great this season..

Hey Jillian...Welcome back! You're so beautiful. Having you back on the show makes watching way more fun...please tell me you're gay and single?

great job with the rejects tonight!

I don't really have a question I just wanted to tell jillian that I absolutly love her, she is an excellent trainer and motivator and if I was at the ranch I would want her as a trainer. Keep up the great work and kick blue and reds a**. :):):):)

how did you feel when your team won the weigh in

hey im 31 yrs old 4'11 and weigh 272 im just starting to go to the gym i need to know what kind of exercises i should do to lose weight

How do I speed up my metabloism? I am eating 1500 cal a day, do cardio for 1 hr 4 times a week and strength train 3 times a week. So far, in 6 weeks I have lost zero pounds. I have 60 pounds to lose..HELP!

hey jillian! so what's the eating plan you've got your black team on?

What can a person do to help themselves lose weight. when being up on their feet hurt. due to a high sprang that will not heal

YAY Im SOOO glad you are back Jillian! I love your trainging style!!! What are some ways to stay motivated when you are working out, even though you arent seeing the results you want?

YAAAY your back!!!
Okay, lets talk abs for women. Yours are killer! What is your favorite abdominal excercise? Is it better for women to use weights while doing crunches on a stability ball or are plain stability excercises best? Or better yet, I'll just ask what YOUR ab routines are...
You are the best, girl!!

I'm 32, female 5'5 weigh 182 and need to lose 10-15 pounds how can i do it in a healthy way by October 15?

Glad to see you are back! Since I have turned 40, I have obtained this pouch under my bellybutton. Please help.

Jillian-- You Rock!!

Work two jobs. Not a lot of time to workout. Can you recommend a eating plan.

When starting a new exercise program, WHY is it that you have those 2lb weeks when you're working for MUCH higher numbers!?! What do you do to regroup?

wtg jillian! that was so cool to see your team beat both blue and red teams. really glad you are back; not to mention it was done without a gym.

you rock so hard you r going to kick bobs and that other girls butt have a good butt kicking you rock so hard and i love u

Jillian--

It seems like you and Bob are amazing trainers...I just wonder what Kim's motivation is for being on the show. Seems like she may be into showing herself off and not so much into helping the members of her team. Any thoughts on her?

I don't have a question really... I just wanted to tell you, Jillian that all last week you helped me push myself in my workout!! I heard you say last week DO YOU SEE HOW STRONG YOU ARE!! And I just had that in my head all week! So... THANK YOU!

Personal Training advice?
Best Leg WOrkout?

You rock! You're a true motivator. I don't think I'd last 10 min. w/ Kim. You are tough but you also have an understanding of the team members. You really seem to care. I want your muscle tone girl!!! I wish I could train with you!! Keep up the FABULOUS WORK!!

Can I hire you to train me in person or is everything on-line only? Thank you Barb

Hi Jillian

What advice would you give to someone to get them started and be serious!!!!!

Hi can you tell me what I need to be eating I am 5'0 and weigh 221. Tell me what portions of what need to be on my plate? Thanks I am TOTALLY glad your back. WE MISSED YOU JILLIAN!!

hey jillian...so when you rode up on the bike in the first episode - do you really ride? what's your normal ride?

The 1st 3 seasons have all had male winners.

Men seem to lose more weight more quickly than women.

Jillian, that being said do you ever forsee a female "Biggest Loser"?

Hi Jillian I weight 140 and I am wondering how to get a good set of abs and get some body tone

Hey Jillian,

Big fan of yours!! Am in need of some good advice, please. I am about 50 lbs overweight, disabled and have a few other physical problems. My activity level is almost non-existent. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
First of all let me say what an inspiration jillian is and how i look up to her so much!! With that said, i am 5'10 and before i had my daughter i weighed about 150-155 and i was comfortable. Now, i weigh 182 and my daughter is almost 5. I want so badly to lose 30 pounds but i get discouraged very easily. I have had alot of people in my life put me down and i am trying to be a stronger person and do this for my self and i would love your advice. I do go to the gym and try to eat right but i need the motivation. Please, i need your advice Jillian.
Thank you

What is the maximum amount of calorie intake that the contestants are allowed?

Hi Jillian. It's good to see you back on the show. My question for you is...what type of exercises do you recommend for someone that has knee problems and are less stressful on the joint?

I hate the taste of water and those additions to water get overbearing some times. What are other sources of fluid to avoid food?

Welcome back Jillian! I was curious as to what you feel is best for someone who is extremely overweight but also has arthritis and is basically forced to do low impact.

when you're not losing wait, how do you get motivation to keep going? I find it very hard to do! I love you Jill

Do you get any say in picking the contestants and if so, I'm ready to be your biggest loser.

Thanks for being here. I want to know your opinion on Fat Free v/s 1% Milk. Thanks again!

Jillian, you've got rockin' abs. How do I get rid of love handles?

your an excellent trainer and glad your back... I am a trainer too and i love it
