Default Exercise Guru that has been overweight?
I occasionally read profiles on exercise or weight loss "specialists" and I am disappointed on how many of them seem to have never been overweight themselves. Genetics plays a big factor in weight and I really don't want to take advice from someone who has never struggled with weight in their lives. What exercise gurus do you know that have been overweight?

Jillian Michaels was overweight. Can't think of any more off the top of my head.

Yeah I was going to say Richard Simmons is pretty famous for having lost a bunch of weight.

Although she was 80s (or early 90s?) Susan Powter was another one.

Oh and Tony Little (the gazelle guy).

Jillian Michaels and the blonde trainer who was on the Biggest Loser for a season or 2. They did an article on them in people a few years ago.
