The Biggest Loser is a guilty pleasure of mine. I know it's reality TV and their weight loss is super unhealthy but I love watching anyways. And I love the workout videos. And Jillian.

You can get them anywhere. I got mine from KMart, I've seen them at Walmart and sporting goods stores, but walmart and kmart are cheapest. I have The Biggest Loser The Workout 2. You can go through and pick which parts you want to do to design your own. It's so great.

I have never watched it. The weight lost doesn't seem healthy and doesn't happen like that in real life. My guilty GUILTY pleasures are Oprah and reading Cosmo

They make sure the loss is healthy. They work out several hours a day, but they get monitored excessively and have blood work at least once a week. I think it's kind of funny when they do an interview right after someone had their blood drawn and you can still see the cotton taped to their arm. It's odd that people say "oh it's so unhealthy to lose that fast" and yeah, it is if you try it at home by yourself, but what do you think happens after gastric bypass and other surgeries? You don't lose 100 pounds in a year by losing 1-2 a week...it's all about the monitoring during the time.

I find it very uplifting and in the mood to kick my own a$$ in workouts.

I LOVE The Biggest Loser. I'm so happy a new season is about to start! I've been watching Biggest Loser Australia since the last US season ended.

I never actually watched it because I mostly had my classes at night. It seems a lot of you like it, I will try to watch and see since all my classes now are on early afternoon.

I absolutely love The Biggest Loser. I had never watched it before the season that started in January. It inspired me to start my weight loss!

Also, I love Jillian. Her podcasts have really helped me stay motivated. And I really believe she would not be involved with the show if the weight loss was not healthy. They are checked out by doctors, and their fitness and weight loss programs are developed around that. Jillian said on her podcast that one man in the upcoming season was only cleared by the doctors to work out for an hour a day, so that's what they do. They do put the health of the contestants first.

I bloody LOVE the Biggest Loser. They're showing two US episodes at once at the moment in the UK, one on Living2 at 12pm every day, and one on SkyReal Lives at 10am. I love it and would love to see more. It's so inspiring!
