Biggest Loser

Jillian Michaels is the BIGGEST LOSER!!!!

I have to speak very frankly on this particular subject. For those of you who tune in to watch The Biggest Loser and see Jillian Michaels in all her ignorant glory, and take what she says and the way she coaches to heart, there is something you must know. She is in idiot! (I told you I would speak frankly)
I heard her tell a client that their weight loss was not enough, and that saying “well I put on muscle” is just an excuse!
Are you kidding me!?! I have news for you Jillian Michaels, if you have ever read a book, or learned the way the human body adapts to exercise, you’d know that gaining muscle is a good thing, and relying on the scale for your results is just plain old dim-witted!
First of all, if you are new to an exercise regimen, throw the damn scale away! Seriously!!!!! Take an initial weight and then do not step on another scale again for weeks, even MONTHS!!!!
You should first get your body composition measured by a fitness professional. This is not a BMI, or a hip/waist ratio. A body composition determines how much of your body is muscle and how much is fat. So, for example, if you begin a work out routine, and you weigh 200 pounds and 30% of that weight is fat, that means you are carrying 60 pounds of excess fat, and 140 pounds of lean body mass, which includes bone, muscle, organs and fluid. So if after 6 weeks of training you weigh 185 pounds, you would think to yourself, “YIPPIE 15 pounds! YAY!” and good for you, you should be happy about your success. But then, after 8 weeks you work harder, eat better yet for some reason you weigh 187 pounds. Most people, especially those who listen to Jillian Michaels, would become discouraged, think that exercise is useless, and go back to their old eating style, gain back 25 pounds, and be worse off than when they started. But what they may not realize is, if they took another body composition after 8 weeks, they would probably see some staggering results. For example, maybe their body fat percentage went from 30% to 24%. If you calculate that out, weighing 187 with 24% you are now carrying 45 pounds of fat and the rest of your body’s mass is 142 pounds of lean tissue.
So the difference is of the 60 pounds of fat you started with, you lost 15 of it, and your body gained 2 pounds of muscle! That is quite the accomplishment.
So do not let the scale and your body weight be the deciding factor in your fitness success. If your clothes fit better, your face looks leaner, you have more energy and you find you are not eating so much fatty salt junk food, you should count that as a major victory on your fitness journey.
So go to your local gym and ask one of the trainers to take your body composition, and please… THROW THE DAMN SCALE AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
