I love all the weight loss shows that were on tv last year and I'm looking forward to this year's lineup, which will be starting soon for some shows and has already begun for others.
My favorite is, of course, the Biggest Loser. Those of you who have been following my blog for the past year know how much I feel that the Biggest Loser is an inspiring and entertaining show that gives us a glimpse into the lives of some of the heaviest people in America trying to do whatever they can to lose weight so that they can continue to live. While the show, in essence, is a game and as such people do get kicked off and there is a hefty prize, essentially, it's about forcing people to come to terms with whatever it is that made them gain the weight in the first place and what is preventing them from losing it.
The Biggest Loser is premiering September 21 at 8/7c.
A new show just started up on Bravo with Trainer Jackie Warner called Thintervention. Thintervention, which airs Mondays at 10/9 c follows a very Jillian Michaels-esque trainer as she encourages people who have just about given up hope on losing weight to push through and get it done. There are the same type of emotional moments and inspiration that you may have seen in Jillian's show on NBC this summer, Losing it with Jillian, but for some reason, I like Jackie's approach more I think. She is just as tough as Jillian on the show, which makes me wonder if tough love is really the best medicine.
There are probably even more shows that I'm not thinking of at the moment, but these are the two on my radar this season. What is YOUR favorite weight loss show and why?
