The Biggest Loser

I gaze out past the middle finger of my left hand into the Hollywood Hills as my right quad quivers holding Warrior 2. This is when Bob Harper, trainer from The Biggest Loser, says, "You might be feeling a bit of heat in your thigh right about now." He's teaching a yoga class to a few bloggers and l...

I know that many of your share my admiration for Jillian Michaels of Biggest Loser fame, with her no nonsense approach to exercising and her ability to get the contestants up and moving. So I was excited to check out her workout DVD, Jillian Michaels - 30 Day Shred ($11).

Harper defends the show's workout regimen, explaining that there is a logical progression. But watching contestants while they learn the ropes doesn't make for exciting TV. The heavily edited two-hour show comes from hundreds of hours of footage. Harper also explains, in response to cri...

Nothing screams November like football and turkey with stuffing. It was NFL and Thanksgiving week on The Biggest Loser Families last night. Celebrity visits spiced up an otherwise drama-free show. Former 49ers Jerry Rice and Steve Young (go Niners!) came onto campus to train the contesta...

Both teams worked out all week and worked out hard. The ladies all pulled in decent numbers, with Vicky being the biggest loser of the week. Love her or hate her, she is a consistent weight-loss machine. Too bad the same cannot be said for her husband, Brady lost considerably less than everyone...

In this episode, the contestants were faced with a rather hefty temptation as the person who ate the most calories was allowed to create the new teams and pick which the trainer for each team. To create conflict, it was completely dark in the room with the baked goods and so no one really knew w...

By FitSugar The latest season of The Biggest Loser is rolling along, and what better way to celebrate, or tempt, the contestants than with a road trip. The families were treated to a trip to the glories of the Grand Canyon. To see how the teams fared once they headed back to the ranch and who was eliminated,...

By FitSugar The Biggest Loser Families premiered last night and the five-season formula of the show did not disappoint. I got choked up a couple of times and was inspired by the family teamwork. Watching the teams of two being weighed in simultaneously and seeing how proud the duos were of their loved on...

By FitSugar Motivational trainers Jillian Micheal or Bob Harper return to the show to lead teams of two, husband and wife or parent and child, on their competitive weight-loss journey. The show is always emotional, but add familial love to the mix and you are sure to see some heartwarming, or even heat...

By FitSugar Both The Biggest Loser Couples and The Biggest Loser Season Five will be minus trainer Kim Lyons. While she did not win (and technically did lose) your vote on favorite trainer from the reality show, Lyons is moving on. She has just come out with a new book Your Body or Your Life ($17.95). It is a tw...

By FitSugar Last night was the season finale of The Biggest Loser and it was a good one. I will say that it was not as amazing as last year's finale, but still pretty darn motivating. While the production was a little off, as it always is, with way too much confetti and delays, I was still totally engrossed.

By FitSugar As always, the cast introductions were emotional and I was amazed at how hard the trainers work them from the start. Their results showed it too as weight loss numbers ranged from seven pounds to a whopping 31 pounds from Jerry, the oldest contestant (62 years) in Biggest Loser history. Ambe...
