Introducing to you... JILLIAN MICHAELS


She's new to me but I am impressed by her. I just got to know a little bit about her that I needed to know...she's a fitness trainer if I am not mistaken. She was a fat girl once upon a time when she was in her youth and she lost 60 pounds. Read more about her from the website below.... I'm not going to cut and paste it....or maybe I should....hmm... Plus I am going to post a few pictures here found through Yahoo Search...it's for your viewing on the fitness part only and it has nothing to do about what is beyond that. So, be more open minded...duh...


From the January 2009 Issue

Meet your trainer Some people are genetically blessed with flat abs. Fitness pro Jillian Michaels, 34, is not one of them. In fact, by eighth grade, the 5-foot-2 Los Angeles native had reached 175 pounds, thanks in large part, she says, to an unhappy relationship with food, passed down to her from her dad. "It seemed the only way my father knew how to relate to me was through food, so we'd have ice cream and huge bowls of popcorn," Michaels says. As her waistline grew, her self-esteem shrank. She hit rock bottom at age 13, when she was kicked out of a martial arts class for sneaking in Cheetos. "At the time, I was so angry at my instructor, but then I realized he was right. So the next week, I went back and was like, 'OK, I'm ready!' Suddenly I went from the kid in school who everyone would make fun of to the kid in school who could break two boards with her right foot. I felt empowered for the first time," says Michaels, who went on to not only earn her black belt but also shed an astonishing 60 pounds. Now the 115-pound Biggest Loser motivator works out four to five hours a week to stay strong inside and out. "Fitness is not about six-pack abs," she says. "It's a tool to help you reinvent yourself. It's about exercising your greatness, feeling the full potential of your power and reaching it with no shame." Those abs? They're a little bonus.

She is really good and I bet like others, they have extreme exercise and I bet she does boxing too based on her pictures.
