Working with Couples


Jillian: It was exhausting working with couples.


Bob: They brought in their enablers. It was rough. We like working with people one on one and this posed a tougher challenge.


Jillian: They are comfortable because they have their family member or friend there. We want them out of that comfort zone. It makes it that much more difficult to open up.

COMMENTS

Bob, and Jillian
I love this show I never miss it, I love you trainers I think you have heart in what you do. I just wish I could be on the show, as I am over weight, my BMI is 35 sorry my BMI is really 38.7 I know I am killing myself mentally and physically with this weight and to top it all off I smoke so I am so upset with myself. I do not have the willpower to workout or eat right, I just need some help. To tell you the truth you could make a show with just my family as I have 62 in our family and over half of them are overweight. I was thinking of getting the Lap band but wanted to try loosing weight the right way. I truly do love you all and your show.
Thanks so much
Theresa

i have had four kids and just need to tone up my biggest nightmare is my abs what can i do

I need help! I watch your show season after season and love it. It always inspires me so much. After last season, I started eating better and excersing and lost 65 lbs. Now, I have gone back to my old habits and have gained 20 lbs. back. I'm 5'0 and 213 lbs. I keep using every emotional excuse in the book...truth is, I loved being smaller than I am now. I have had a lot of stress in my life lately, but gaining this weight back has been the most stressful! I don't know what to do. I want to feel good about myself again..just like Ali. Please help!

i have to say i love you both and hope to be on the show!! i know you can help me!! love u both geri

Hi Guys,
I love watching the biggest loser. Will there be another season of the biggest loser?
Also just wondering what happen to last years trannier Kim? I do like it better with the two of you Bob and Jillian.

Hi Jillian & Bob! I am a teacher and was wondering how can I incorporate my workouts throughout the week? My classroom is on the third floor, so I was wondering about going up & down the stairs? Also, I am in training for the half-marathon, and should I do cardio and weight training the same day, or alternate days? One last question: if I work out in the morning, should I eat before the workout? If so, what? Thank you so much I enjoy seeing the show, and it is an inspiration to me!

When did this season actually take place? Can I please be at the live show next week. I'm a HUGE fan!!!!!

I was wondering if you apply for a season, and don't get picked if whoever makes the decision puts you back in the running for the next season and so on.

You guys rock.

I lost my husband in January in a terrible accident, I found him, but he couldn't be saved. He was my life. My daughter quit her job and moved home to be with me, but since my husband was our source of income, we can't afford anything expensive, but really need to lose weight.

I also want to lose weight and have a healthier lifestyle. Where to begin? Everytime I start something, it seems to fail.

how do I go from 313 pounds and havin a leg injury which caused a pulmonary embolism to getting this weight off??? what should I do? and I think that the contestants should have had the right to vote off the people they have been competing against all this time. not really fair but understand the show must change to keep it fresh

Guys, did you ever thing of implement vegetarian diet or at least part in contestant's daily meal plan? You promote way too much protein and meat on the show.

I have very bad knees and it's hard to ride a bike or walk up stairs what are the best exercises for these limitations?

IN Relation to the Working with COUPLES: I and my hsband do EVERYTHING together, I think that having him there with me would have motivated me- I know you say we have our enabler there- but at the same time- I think OTH of us NEED to learn to lose weight, what better way then to learn together?

HOW AMNY HOURS A DAY DO THE CONTESTANTS WORK OUT?

So I eat relatively healthy, but I can only take so much chicken and turkey! I don't like seafood so that's not really an option for me. Is there a cookbook that you guys absolutely love or that you recommend because I need new healthy recipes and there are so many out there that I don't trust! Help me and the thousands of others who are sick of the same food, prepared the same way!

Thanks,
Stace

PS. Way to go with the contestants this season! I get remotivated every week by you guys being hard@$$e$! Thanks!

You guys rock! I hope we finally get to see a girl win The Biggest Loser!

There should always be one top man and one top woman to be really fair. Please ask them to do this for the Next Biggest Loser.

I was just wondering what a person could do on a very limited budget? I don't have the money to join a qym, and eating healthy is expensive. I do what I can but sometimes it just doesn't work out. What can I do? Any suggestions?

Do you stay in touch with previous contestants? It must be hard to get so close and then have to say goodbye.

I'm 5'3" 154lbs. and have bad feet.. How do I walk and exercise without killing my feet? I watch the show religiously and love both trainers!! Keep up the good work!

There are no directions on how to vote. Do you vote for who you want to stay or who you want to go. Does anyone no because the website doesn't say and I don't want to mess up the girls.

How do you over come the mental blocks that happen? I've had gastric-bypass thinking this was the answer to "fix" me. It wasn't.

how do you lose the weight with two bad feet and have restrictions on being on them

I ran out of room on the other blog. My daughter and I both need to lose 100 to 125 lbs. she's pre diabetic, I am now dibetic from weight, (2yr.now) we really need to get it off, but have no funds, any advice. we're desperate,Don't want my kids to lose another parent

what exercises would you recommend for someone suffereing from severe rheumatoid arthritis? Also, how likely would it be to have a contestant on the show that has a physical disability? There hasn't been one yet.

I AM 37 AND AT 214, I BROKE MY ARMS 3 YRS AGO. AND GAINED APPROX. 90 POUNDS. I HAVE 6 YEAR. IAM TIRED AND DEPRESSED AND NEED HELP

I was wondering if anyone from past seasons has gained the weight back? If so, are you guys working with them to take it off again?

You guys rock! I hope we finally get to see a girl win The Biggest Loser!

How is it that this season the girls did so well? Did they work harder? Genetics? Younger? Any thoughts?

Hi,
I love dogs do you?

I AM 37 AND AT 214, I BROKE MY ARMS 3 YRS AGO. AND GAINED APPROX. 90 POUNDS. I HAVE 6 YEAR. IAM TIRED AND DEPRESSED AND NEED HELP

I started working out for about an hour a day 5 weeks ago! What would you suggest to make my weight loss more successful?

You guys rock! I hope we finally get to see a girl win The Biggest Loser!

Do any of you still remain in constant contact or see any former contestants on a regular basis?

Hi,
I love dogs do you?

How can contestants afford to be away from their lives for 3 months? With the huge loss of income that alone would cause alot of extra stress.

I am looking forward to next weeks finale. And I would like to know how to get my own brita water bottle.

Say you were able to pick what a season would be....what would it be as far as couples, families, etc...?

How many times can we vote on-line? How long is the voting open?

YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!! this is my first season watching this show and you guys need to take time to appreciate yourself and what you are doing for not just the contestents but those who watch (including me) keep up the good work!!!:) Jillian I LOVE you!!! you are my idol! :) bob your not too bad yourself!

Do any of you still remain in constant contact or see any former contestants on a regular basis?

Jillian, is it true you are only 5'2" tall?

I want to know how do you vote on which male contestest you want to be in finally

I just started working out and changing my eating habits but I have 200 lbs to lose. Any advice from the both of you?? Oh and I love you both so much!!!:)

how it did lose so much weight this last week?

does kelly have a chance

I weigh 197 lbs and I'm 5'6. I'm trying to lose weight but the scale fails me every week. I work out every other day. I do feel my muscles getting tighter and leaner. I dont like to run but I see how those guys started out slow and eventually picked up the pace. I just want to say I love both you guys and you're both a great inspiration to me and my pregnant wife.

I am trying to comment and it is kicking me off before I am finished writing! Why?

They need to make a biggest loser mini. For all of us who need to lose 40-50 lbs.

I was wondering what either one of you would recommend to someone that is trying to lose weight, but have hit a wall and cannot get past it.

Thanks for answering my question!

We love you guys. :)

I know this does not apply...


I got a quick question. I just bought a Bowflex Revolution, but am making excuses not to work out. What would be my best bet?
