A recent article at OMG! from Yahoo shows a picture of Jillian Michaels as a teenager (shown right)when she was over weight. That post is basically commenting on an article that will appear in July in Redbook magazine where the article states,
“She’s publicly shared the story about her parents’ traumatic divorce when she was 12, her subsequent weight gain — she was 175 pounds at her heaviest — and how martial arts slimmed her down. At 17, after endless fights, her mother kicked her out and Jillian had to fend for herself. She eventually became a certified fitness trainer, and at 30 auditioned to be a trainer for a new TV show about obese people shedding pounds. That show, of course, was The Biggest Loser, where her brutal but loving honesty has inspired millions. ”
Which ties in with this weeks episode of Losing it where the family is in choas post-divorce. It’s a great episode and you see Jillian help these people dig down, find the courage to let go, and move on with their life (with everyone dropping tons of weight).
After months of looking, we can now say (I think….) that we’ve seen a picture of Jillian as a teenager (I mean is OMG! a relaiable source).

WTF!! they make it seem like 175 pounds is morbidly obese. um, nooooo….
Umm, when you are 12 years old, that is morbidly obese.
She doesnt look like shes 175 pounds in that picture, she looks 150 At the most. But if she says she was 175, I guess she was, right? but she didnt look it.
