About "Losing It With Jillian"
Many families across the country are stuck in an unhealthy rut that they would love to get out of. In today's society, with the pressures of work, school, family and juggling everyday life, a person's health becomes last on their "checklist", leading them down a path of unhealthy living. The life-changing alternative series, Losing It With Jillian, provided a "wake-up call" for eight families across America and helped them transform their lives from the inside out.
Each week on Losing It With Jillian, Jillian Michaels used her characteristic brand of tough love and moved in with one family for a week, giving them the necessary tools to make positive changes in their lives, bringing them back to a healthier lifestyle. Jillian got to the bottom of the issues each family member faced that affected their health and happiness. Over the course of one week, the family was pushed outside of their comfort zone and introduced to new exercise and eating habits as they were tested through difficult challenges and dramatic confrontations. At the end of the week, Jillian left them with her customized plan and a set of goals to work towards leaving the family on their own, having to put into practice what they have learned.
One final challenge remained, which would be a testament to their determination and which would cement their commitment to live happier, healthier lives. In an emotional and exciting reunion, Jillian returned a few months later to see how far they'd come and the families revealed their new looks and shared their accomplishments in front of their family and friends.
