I have been a Biggest Loser fan since season 1. And since that time, I have been a shameless fan of Bob.
I mean, seriously. Have you ever laid eyes on this man? Wowsa.
But beyond that, he’s so warm and encouraging. He makes me want to make him happy. I want Bob to be proud of me.
This season, though, I have shifted. I think if I ever had to choose a trainer, I would chose Jillian (insert horror flick music and scream here, please).
I’ve been shredding with her, and listening to her podcasts on KFI, and I just bought her book this weekend.
So why do I love her? She may be a little angry, and she can get kinda mean, but that makes me love her. I mean, this girl has issues. But she embraces them. And she uses her issues to teach other people about their own issues. I’ve heard her say that she isn’t comfortable naked because of the cellulite on her ass. And she doesn’t like to workout. And she has difficulty with peer pressure with food and drinks.
Other than the tight little body and hilarious laugh (and a few other things), we’re just alike.
And if she can push through her issues and be lean and mean than SO CAN I.
I’m well on my way.
Thank you, Jillian.
(and come over to Fat Bridesmaid‘s tonight for the liveblog! It’s my social highlight of the week!)
I’ve always been so PRO Jillian. I love that she yells and is mean. That’s what works for me. I’m a little manipulative if I have to be and I would find a way of wimping out at times with Bob (well, I’d try) but Jillian would tell me to shut up and choke on my puke if that’s what it takes. haha. I love her.
This season though, I’ve been surprised at Bob. He’s made some digs at Jillian and I thought he was above that. He’s been knocked down a notch for me.
YOU CAN’T HAVE JILLIAN — SHE’S MINE!
I am SO Team Jillian. She has juuuuuust the right amount of bitterness to make it work. She’d kick my butt – make me love and hate her at the same time lol.
I don’t watch the show, but I have been doing the Shred and just starting listening to her radio show. In fact, I am listening to the 4/19 show now! And the first thing she is talking about is her food spiraling out of control, something I AM struggling with as well! I really like her show. She inspires me!
I am totally in love with Jillian – in that “She’s the best trainer ever” kind of way. I have her Shred DVD – and while I haven’t done it in awhile, it always kicks my butt (and arms, shoulders and legs) when I do it.
