NBC Orders Losing It With Jillian

NBC has ordered Losing It With Jillian, a companion series for The Biggest Loser starring trainer Jillian Michaels. She will travel the country showing weight-challenged Americans that they can get the same results as contestants on The Biggest Loser without attending the show’s immersive fitness boot camp. The show also will feature celebrity chef Curtis Stone, who will offer the families a nutritional plan and cooking tips.

In each self-contained episode, Michaels will move into a family’s home and give them a top-to-bottom fitness, nutrition and wellness makeover. Unlike The Biggest Loser, which is more strictly focused on shedding pounds, Losing It will take on multiple aspects of living a healthier lifestyle.

Although no airdate has been set, one possible strategy is to debut the show following the The Biggest Loser finale in May and continue to air the episodes into the summer.
