None — In the series, Michaels will be moving in with a different family each week to help change their diet and exercise habits. She will focus on getting to the bottom of the issues each family member faces -- ones that affect their health and happiness -- and will arm them with the tools necessary to make life-altering changes. The families are in for a huge wake up call as Michaels -- tired of hearing all the excuses -- will show America that anyone can make a change.
"Losing It With Jillian Michaels" is about helping a family to find a healthier lifestyle than trying to motivate overweight people via Jillian Michaels expertise and tough love.
Each week, Jillian will take on a new family and help them confront their health and wellness issues. She'll use her own shocking methods to show these families how dire their circumstances are and that it is time to get their lives back on track.
Unlike The Biggest Loser, this show is not about the heaviest people and weight loss. It's about lifestyle changes and families coming together. Jillian's intense and intimate interactions with family members will result in emotional moments as she helps peel back layers to get to the root of issues that have kept the family from living healthy lifestyles. Each episode features a different family. Camera catches moment of surprise when Jillian knocks on the family's front door – and they learn that Jillian will be moving in with them for 5 days.
In typical Jillian style, she moves in and takes over – rummages through the family's kitchen and throws stuff out. Takes the family to the gym to gauge their fitness level. At the gym workout, Jillian assesses family dynamics to figure out who gets along with each other, who wants to put in the effort and who she'll have to get tough with.
While Jillian will work to improve the health of the entire family – she may focus her time on 1 or 2 key family members to help with changes that will benefit the rest of the family.
After the 5 days, Jillian creates a "master plan" for the family and advises them that she'll check back with them in 60 days.
Each episode will end with a family reveal and ‘prize'… i.e. Sears has changed their basement into a fully loaded gym.
