The other night, I came home from work and started watching The Larry King Show on CNN. Larry was talking with the trainers from the hit weight loss reality series The Biggest Loser about their experiences on the show. Together they are responsible for whipping contestants into shape.
Jillian Michaels, is a fitness expert who has gained prominence as a trainer on the weight loss reality series along with Bob Harper. Jillian is also a trainer in the Australian version of the show. Each episode depicts the drama of how overweight, out-of-shape contenders transform their bodies, their health and ultimately their lives with proper diet and nutrition.
Overall, Jillian Michaels has the best win/loss records of all trainers on every America and Australian season of The Biggest Loser in which she has participated. Excluding America’s season 3 (she was absent from that season), in every America season she took part in (as well as Australia’s Biggest Loser Season 1); she has always had one of her contestants win the competition.
I think it is because of her attitude. I had the chance to watch a clip from the show with Jillian coaching a contestant, in which the contestant was being pushed to their limits, and yelled, ‘I can’t go on.’ Jillian stood toe-to-toe with said contestant, and replied, ‘Tell me that you are going to quit, but don’t tell me that you can’t.’

There's only one thing that can guarantee our failure, and that’s if we quit. We have a choice in our success. Learned helplessness is the giving-up reaction, the quitting response that follows from the belief that whatever you do doesn't matter - make it matter, you're worth it.
