Heck you eat one wrong thing the day before, and that sucker can shoot up one or two pounds. I really wish they looked at more than just the scale. I know why they don't but nonetheless they have a really good opportunity to really change the messages associated weight loss.

Her success is based totally on weight loss. The show doesn't give an award for most inches lost. She says it because the contestants are rated solely on weight loss.

They kick off the people who lose the least amount of weight? Aren't those the people that need the help the most? I do realize that if they kept them all there and there was no competition that there wouldn't really be a show, but it still irks me. P.S How many dang blogs are you running these days? : ) Here is what I don’t get about the show in general. They kick off the people who lose the least amount of weight?

I feel like Jillian's having to compromise, because I didn't think she felt that way after reading her books. And there’s that huge gap between “reality” and “reality tv”… argh.

I have a great deal of respect for Jillian Michaels but I'm sure she's under a lot of pressure to say certain things to appease the sponsors and producers of <i>TBL</i>. Throwing away oatmeal is sacrilege - particularly if you replace it with processed cereal. As for the scale thing, I lost 90 pounds through diet and cardio, and only then did I add in weight training (I know, I know...) After weight training for two months, I dropped <b>two dress sizes</b> but my scale weight was exactly the same! I guess Jillian made that remark about the scale because the contestants' progress is measured by their weight, not body composition. Pandering to the producers again...
