If anyone is struggling with severe weight issues and really wants to make a change, then you have no more excuses due to the production-heavy fall line-up of weight loss shows coming our way. After the big success of NBC’s ‘The Biggest Loser,’ which will premiere its tenth season, hot shot trainer Jillian Michaels started making house visits, cleaning out fridges and taking you to the extreme with her own show ‘Losing It.’ Now comes Jackie Warner of Bravo’s past series ‘Work Out,’ another renowned fitness expert ready to take you to the edge with her new show ‘Thintervention,’ debuting on Bravo September 6th at 10p. This time around it’s not about Jackie but Jackie’s obsession with changing your life and getting you healthy for good, if you are willing to commit. Unlike Jillian where her warriors are in a weight loss camp or facility, Jackie pushes her fighters to their limit at her gym and inspires them in their everyday real lives with intense workouts at amazing locations. And then of course, progress is checked through group therapy and weigh-ins. A few of the interesting cast of characters who are all reaching to lose roughly fifty pounds, include an obnoxious but funny vodka loving woman, a surly man obsessed with sweets, and a really wealthy ‘Real Housewife of Orange County’ who felt unappreciated filming the popular series. At the very least, these weight loss shows are inspirational and extremely informative and won’t cost you a penny.
