Tomorrow night is it, friends... the new premier of season 12 of Biggest Loser and there are definite changes in the air! First of all - as the new promo picture highlights, Jillian Michaels is gone. (You'd have to be a BL hater or living under a rock to not know this by now! lol) I, personally, loved Jill and will miss her tough love and borderline sick humor but I'm a big fan of Bob Harper, too, so it will be good to see some continuity in training.
I'm really excited to see that Dolvett Quince from Atlanta has joined the show. This guy is the real deal, friends. He is a trainer who knows what he's doing to motivate and encourage and get people to their goals...and, ahem! He's not too hard on the eyes. ; ) You can follow him on Twitter like I am @Dolvett or on Facebook.
There is all kinds of chatter about Anna Kournikova and how she'll fit in and whether or not she has the credentials to be on Biggest Loser. I'm personally hoping she does a great job and admire her work in helping kids across the US to get moving and active. Here is a little part of the NBC blurb about her: "As a former World #1 doubles player and #8 singles player, as well as a certified trainer, Kournikova has always made a healthy lifestyle an integral part of her life, and she's honored to have the opportunity to inspire others as part of the upcoming 12th season." She does, indeed, have training certification, folks!
The contestants I've tweeted with are anxious for tomorrow night's premier. Some twitter contestants include: @CJRainville (she's a doll!) @JessicaLimpert (she is, too!) @joemitchell1 @ramonmedeiros50 and @John_Rhode. Locally, I'll be rooting for Johnny Forger who is 65 and a Boston area realtor. I'm still trying to figure out whether or not I met him in February at the Boston auditions!
I just tweeted with Ali Sweeney (she's returning as host which is wonderful!) and she'll be live tweeting EST tomorrow night, too. I asked her if she was planning to tweet live and her reply was "Heck, yeah!!" LOL She's lots of fun! : )
I'm hoping you'll join me tomorrow night from 8-10pm EST for the Twitter party online! I'll be joining the Mamavation crew for the #BritaChallenge party. We always have a blast during these two hours and, as is her way, Leah Sedgie (@Bookieboo) has come up with great giveaways that will be happening during the event (just click on the party link to get in on the giveaways)! :) Other hosts/panelists at the party are some of my favorite bloggers and fitness folks including Carla aka MizFitOnline, Roni Noone, Jenn from FitBottomedGirls, and Tony from TheAntiJared. Fun bunch!
You all know how much I love drinking water, so the Brita tie-in is one I'm happy to support tomorrow night! Without water, we dehydrate, our bodies shut down and we basically stop losing weight or being healthy. Drink up, my friends! :)
I love watching Biggest Loser. I love seeing the inspiring transformations and I love challenging myself Tuesday nights during the two hours of television watching to do something healthy. I'll be involved in the Twitter party tomorrow night and just want to watch... but next week... who's with me for step aerobics during at least two 15 minute intervals during the show? *grin*
Here's to our health, to finding inspiration to continue our journeys and a toast of good luck to this season's contestants!
Dream. Believe. Achieve!

I think I'm going to like this new host. She seems more feminine than Jillian Michaels.
I'm going to miss Jill, but I think Anna Kournakova really exceeded my expectations last week and I like her, too! And I have a big time crush on Dolvett Quince for both fitness trainer and other all-too-obvious (read: HUNK!)reasons! :)
