Maybe NBC's The Biggest Loser 'could measure success differently in the next seasons to come? Bob and Jillian's reactions say it all!

As many of you know...I have a love hate relationship with the NBC show 'The Biggest Loser' I enjoy witnessing the transformations that happen on many levels with each and every contestant. Over the years, I have laughed, cried, screamed and cheered on...however, last nights Finale left me angry and in tears . The last time we saw Rachel she was healthy and strong and had just finished a triathlon. She was 19% body fat and was fit! I was so proud to watch everyone re-discover their inner strength and recognize their full potential. Last nights revealing of Rachel was upsetting to say the least. As a Trainer, I hate the scale, I don't see it as a true measure of health and fitness...this show just proved my point. Rachel went from being 260 lbs to 105. She is now underweight, has no muscle and looks gaunt. What happens to these contestants after they leave the ranch? Have the trainers not taught them about balance? I hope NBS will make a much needed statement regarding this issue of promoting weight-loss as opposed to promoting a healthy maintainable lifestyle. Maybe the show could measure success differently in the next seasons to come? tp://blog.zap2it.com/pop2it/2014/02/the-biggest-loser-why-was-rachel-frederickson-allowed-to-lose-too-much-weight.html

'The Biggest Loser': Why was Rachel Frederickson allowed to lose too much weight? Rachel Frederickson won Season 15 of “The Biggest Loser,” going from 260 pounds to a jaw-dropping 105 pounds. But did she actually win?

HERE"S HOW IT WORKS:

30 Day Smoothie Challenge and Personal Training Package.

Starting now, All you have to do is visit the Vic West Location Booster Juice at #110-179 Wilson Street, Victoria and sign up. Payment for the Smoothie part of the challenge will need to be paid in full in the store at the time of registration ($120 plus taxes). You will get 30 days of High Protein Smoothies that will be under 350 calories each. I recommend using them as a meal replacement, especially after a workout. Each day starting Monday January 13th till Feb. 11th, you can just walk in and get your daily dose of vitamins and nutrients that will keep you feeling full and healthy all throughout the challenge. We'll be mixing it up each week, just to keep your taste buds coming back for more.

Now for the other part o the challenge...Fitness. It wouldn't be a challenge if it was easy, now would it? Part of embarking on a better path it getting into a better routine of incorporating new positive habits into our daily lives. I'm offering you a chance to kick start that better you, better living part, with 8 Personal Training sessions in my private studio gym here in Esquimalt. Sessions are semi-private which means you will be training with another person (but we can discuss all of that person to person). I try and match clients together based on similar fitness levels and goals. All you need to do is write down your contact information when you sign up for the challenge. Payment for this part will take place when we meet ($120). I will be contacting you during the days of January 13-15th to set up a time to meet up and go through a fitness assessment. It will give us a chance to get to know one another. During this time, we can set up a work out plan and schedule. I look forward to meeting each and every one of you. Please call me or email me for further questions...I'm excited!!! Visit www.mindheartfitness.com

Happy New Years and New Beginnings for 2014. I know I'm excited to staying committed to feeling great about my everyday choices, whether big or small...it has to start somewhere!!! MESSAGE TO ALL MY CLIENTS: I will be on a Ski Vacation Starting January 05-12th. I will start booking the 30 Day Challengers for BoosterJuice Clients when I return. As for the rest of you...text me, email or PM me as per usual and we can get this party started :)
