Of two primetime shows I attempt to watch, The Biggest Loser is one of them. I've written in the past how this show is a healthy dose of reality TV -- I try and always workout before or during the show. I'm uplifted when contestants shed huge numbers on the scale, learn new eating habits and transform into strong, lean and more confident human beings.

That's why I'm excited The Biggest Loser: Families is premiering next Tuesday, September 16 at 8/7c on NBC. Obesity experts will tell you combating obesity is tough, it's critical the entire family buys-in to healthier eating and regular exercise. I love the idea of family members losing weight together, then returning home together after the show. They won't be in isolation, they'll have each other to lean upon as they re-enter the fast-food, fast-paced world inhabited by us all.

Preview The Biggest Loser: Families premiere here and meet mother/daughter contestants Amy and Shellay here. Make Tuesday night your special time to plop on the couch in workout clothes with a bowl of veggies/fruit for a dose of inspiration, and crunches and planks during commercial breaks! If you want to go further, join NBC's The Biggest Loser League, an interactive on-line extension of the show where you can go it alone or set-up a team, support one another on-line and follow weekly weight-loss challenges.
