The Biggest Loser trainer Jillian Michaels announced that she will leave the veteran NBC reality series after the upcoming 11th season, now in production. “Season 11 of Biggest Loser will be my last 
have to finish out my contract,” she wrote on Twitter. Michaels also addressed the issue of her replacement. “They already hired her,” she tweeted. “Using my last season to help launch her in season 11.” Michaels has been on The Biggest Loser since 2004 sans a brief departure in 2006. With her signature tough-love style, she is probably the most recognizable personality on the show, scoring her own spinoff series, Losing It with Jillian, which aired on NBC this past summer. Regarding her motives for the exit, Michaels tweeted that she wanted to “take a year off TV and focus on becoming a mommy and doing more charity work.” The new trainer(s) on The Biggest Loser are expected to be introduced during the show’s 10th season finale on Tuesday.

Best decision she could have made. Loser ratings are on a steady decline right now, yet she’s as hot as ever in terms of her success. This is definitely a good career move, jumping out of a sinking ship before it takes you down with it. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting her through a mutual friend and she’s very cool, down to earth chick. Wish her the best in whatever she does next, professional or otherwise!
nice to see jillian is posting comments on this board… and it’s the first one!
no one is more concerned with her image then her!
show will be an even bigger hit without all her negative energy
Losing it! Best show of the summer – I hope it comes back in the fall and runs year round!!
The show will now for sure last another 10 season.
It’s always good to go out on top, and Ms. Michaels will certainly be leaving “Loser” on a winning note. But how much of her departure stems from the unsavory LA Times coverage slamming her for allegedly dispensing fitness advice for which she is not qualified? hmmmm ……
She is not a trained professional trainer – not a shrink – except when she does it to her own face – not a nice person – not nice to people on the show – can’t even watch it anymore when she is on it – goodbye- great move for 3Ball – the show will great again! – Jillian team up with Ben Silverman and try and swim to hawaii together – later
Jillian rules like the wind. My first trainer while living in hell-a. Before she was famous. Truly an awesome individual. I miss those nights humping across Pan Pacific Park and her yelling at our infomercial group. Summer 02 was memorable.
summer of ’02 was the last time she actually cared about what she was doing. now its all about “her brand” and the money
That is really the best decision that she has ever made. I guess she needs to practice more how she can make her career be better.
She is a total sell out. She would endorse Hitler if the price was right and her interest in daytime is well known..only most smart execs have already passed…..She is the Biggest Loser
Please let it be Jackie Warner!!
Hopefully she will be professional enough to get some futher education as “training” her clients includes psychological damage she inflicts – rather proudly – as she breaks them down for entertainment. WTF? This person is a menace. A bully. And just an all around nasty girl. And this show has turned into product placement and bad press.
Jillian is a total pro. She is not mean or a bully. She’s as tough on them as she is soft and she stays awake at night thinking and caring about her contestants. Ask her contestants they all love her….you clueless, sad people….
All the haters couldn’t raise your hand when it comes to raising- be it clients or even raising children for that case. You have no clue.
I feel sorry for the haters because you don’t understand yelling can be productive if it’s matched with care. You’ve probably couldn’t make it in the Army, you probably talk bad about your boss behind their back and you probably weren’t disciplined right by your parents.
YOU’RE a menace, a bully! And acting like an all-around donkey…
Newsflash…She MADE the show. Her’s this tiny woman yelling and barking like some ankle-biting dog and getting results. All her commentary to her contestants was spot on and if you watch her techniques they are all creative and top of the line. She incorporates kettlebells, boxing gloves, rope training- you name it.
(BTW Bob made the show too and the other part is the contestants/game itself).
A Hitler reference. Have you no sense of decency? Watch your mouth. Don’t offend the memory of the Jews.
Who is the Biggest Loser? Hello? It’s America. Millions of pounds have been shed. And lives saved.
The haters on this site are the losers because you’re probably a critic and you probably aren’t a doer. You’re probably not qualified for teaching gym.
Who do you like, Kim(the red trainer)?
She acted like a complete kook making her last contestant feel guilty because her precious red team was being eliminated…
First rule of training…Don’t make your client feel unnecessarily guilty because of your pride. Good riddens, to her…nice person…but if she is back on the show…you’ll see a shipwreck.
Ok, haters. Put your money where you’re mouth is. I bet you the next trainer tanks. Jillian is a jewel.
I will not respond to any comments on my comments because you’re wrong and I don’t have any time to waste on a bunch of ignorant followers with big mouths….Love, YYY
she “made ” the show?
last time i checked she didn’t even show up to work
or care enough about the players to train them.
THere are off camera trainers that get the weight off the players… not her
she stops in once a week to yell, collect millions, and leaves before the workout is even over
jillian stopped caring about the players long ago… its the money she still wants
Jillian is the best. Her tough love really knocks people into doing the right thing. She motivates with her tough love cos she knows what it’s like being fat / over weight. I love her hard ways in getting and giving people choices to do what is right. Leaving the biggest loser would be a right thing to do at this point. Focusing on her show Losing it really is a great move. She’s helping everyone one family at a time. I have never personally met her, but I get all that she’s trying to do. Just watching her show inspires me – so much so I have lost 26 pounds in 6 months. Truly a great person!
I totally agree! I love Jillian for her strength and drive to help others
Congrats on losing 26 lbs! Keep it up 
Jillian is great motivator and a great trainer. The reason why so many have lost weight IS because they are being pushed and driven towards something- weight loss. Why are they on the show then? They need help and Jillian is there for that. You can’t be a push over and shy, quiet, etc etc if you’re going to be helping people lose 100+ lbs. I’m going to assume the contestants who end up on The Biggest Loser, obviously know how the show works and who exactly the trainers are- personality and all. She is not rude or mean on purpose. These people know what they are getting into when they apply for the show. I do not feel bad for the ones who can’t take it and want to leave. They put themselves there KNOWING what the trainers intentions are, nor do I think the viewers watching the show should bash Jillian on her work and personality. She helped a lot of people.. with THAT attitude and drive. Get over it. Thanks to her, she even has motivated myself to enroll in Personal Training so I can help people to better themselves.
But congratulations on wanting to focus on being a mommy because Lord knows how AMAZING that is too!
Jillian- I may not watch the show anymore. You will be missed
