Did you watch "Losing It With Jillian" last night? The premiere was certainly entertaining as we watched Jillian Michaels knock down her first target's door.

The first family was in for a rude awakening -- as the father of the Mastropiestros, Jim, is 296 pounds after gastric bypass. However, as most of us know, no challenge is too tough for Jillian. By the end of the episode, the whole family went from giving up on their first day at the gym to losing serious weight in just six weeks.

In celebration of Jillian's new hit TV show, we're giving away some prizes that can help you lose weight with Jillian on your own. Her new cookbook, "The Master Your Metabolism Cookbook," will help you whip up healthy meals for yourself right in your own kitchen, with Jillian by your side. Then comes the exercise, of course. Jillian's "Yoga Meltdown" will get your body into shape just in time for summer.

The thing I love the most about Jillian is that she teaches people how to be strong for themselves for once. She may break people down, but she helps them to build their own lives stronger than ever. She may be one tough cookie, but she is not without an immense amount of compassion and heart!

What I like about Jillian is that she is truly honest, can be harsh when needed, and she shows compassion for those of us struggling with weight loss.
She is inspiring.

I like most that she doesn't mince words: If you want results, you and only you have to commit to it.

I like that Jillian always gets to the root of the problem, whether it be a death many years back or self confidence issues, so that she can fix the weight problem long term - she doesn't just go for a "quick fix" that will leave the person returning to their old ways

Joyce 6-02-2010 @ 2:22PM

What I like about Jillian is her no nonsence approach coupled with compassion for people and the problems that they are facing. She tells it like it is and helps people to understand that there is no "quick fix" but that good health IS possible.

I love how Jillian is a counselor and a trainer. I think it helps those she trains so much because she helps them see the root of their problem - beyond the weight.

Monica S 6-02-2010 @ 2:29PM

I love her honesty. She doesn't sugar coat things, but at the same time she tells you when you're letting yourself down. She doesn't let you feel sorry for yourself.

I like her for her toughness, but she also has a big heart.

I love Jillian for her consistency in praise and criticismI

I am a Type @ diabetic (7 years) and yesterday was diagnosed with non alcoholic fatty liver disease. I was taken off of my cholesterol med...Lovastatin.

I need help in what to do next. My only hope may be Jillian.

Kris 6-02-2010 @ 2:31PM

There's much too like. But I like her BEST when she drops her persona (tough trainer/sensitive life coach) and shows us a bit of the real Jillian. Example: this season on BL when she ran from the contestants who were trying to throw her in mud simply so she could take off her expensive jacket. I could see the dialogue in her head: "Crap, I paid a lot for this coat. If I get mud on it it'll be ruined. Oh geez, here they come. RUN."

Liz 6-02-2010 @ 2:34PM

What I like about Jillian is that she cuts to the chase. My favorite line is when she says that just taking the stairs is a, "false message of lethargy." She doesn't know it, but she helped me lose 40 pounds this year.

Paul 6-02-2010 @ 2:36PM

I like her hair.

Maxie 6-02-2010 @ 2:41PM

I love watching Jillian on the Biggest Loser. She is such an inspirational and motivating woman to people all shapes and sizes. I am so glad she is helping families start their new lives with her new show. I can't wait to see more of her in the future!

Suzy 6-02-2010 @ 2:44PM

I love that she is not afraid to be real with people. She is not intimidated easily and is willing to do what is necessary for her clients. She seems to always get them to understand how bad off they really are. She's honest and all though some people think she is mean she has a heart. She cares so deeply and it shows. She is clearly kind, generous and loving.

Michelle 6-02-2010 @ 2:46PM

What I love about Jillian Michaels is she is a no-nonsense, strong woman. I want to strangle her at times, but somehow always end up liking her in the end because she does such amazing things for people, mentally and physically. She doesn't accept "no" or "I can't" as answers and that's what most people need when they are in such a dark place in life - someone to push them even if they believe they aren't able to do such. Jillian rocks in my world and I truly hope that she will respond to my request to visit my family in need - she would do a world of good for them.

I have tried to lose my "" belly fat "", but it's so hard. I do eat right most of the time but I know that I have to exercise more.
I like alot of Jillian ideas so hopefully I can lose the weight I need to lose.

Tamara 6-02-2010 @ 2:50PM

As others have mentioned, I love Jillian's No-B.S. approach to getting healthy. She's not going to set you up to fail with quick-fixes and doesn't encourage a shallow approach to diet and exercise. She indeed keeps it real.

Kelsey 6-02-2010 @ 2:50PM

Her never quit attitude.

Connie Dumcum 6-02-2010 @ 2:51PM

She is a small woman like me, but tough enough to show that size doesn't matter!

Jodi 6-02-2010 @ 2:51PM

Pick me, pick me! :)

I love Jillian. I find her personal story about being overweight at a young age to be inspiring. She never talks down to those she works with, just inspires.
