Jillian Michaels

For those of you that love Jillian Michaels (like me!) I have some good info:

The Jillian Michaels podcasts are still available online here!  These were originally broadcast on KFI in Los Angeles in 2008 and earlier, but for some reason she stopped broadcasting (Jillian if you're reading this please come back!!!)  To find the JM podcasts you need to scroll through the radio shows which are listed in chronological order.  Listen on your computer or download to your iPod.  Enjoy!

In other news, it looks like there's a new weight loss show in the works: Losing It With Jillian Michaels.  Open casting calls start in the next few days.  Can't wait to see this one when it comes out!

Biggest Loser: Shay

I don't know about all of you, but I watch The Biggest Loser every week for inspiration.  The determination, the courage and the honesty shown by the contestants, well, it just about makes me cry during each episode.  These folks dig deep!  My favorite person by far this season is Shay - she has a mountain of weight to lose as well as many personal problems to overcome, but she battles her demons with intensity and dedication, and takes such pride in the positive changes she's made.  This week, I was so devastated to learn that she was voted off the ranch - and there was no update provided at the end to show her progress at home.  So for those of you who are wondering how she's doing, here's a video from the NBC website as well as a before and after comparison.  Made me cry all over again - she is an amazing woman.  Keep up the great work Shay - we are all rooting for you!
