Not the Best, But Pretty Good...
There's really nothing to be concerned about for ages 11 and up. A** is said a few times, but all words s*** and up are bleeped out. No violence or sex. Teaches people to eat healthy and excercise. Reccommended.

Motivational show, but not for young girls with developing body image
This show is fantastic. Even for non-overweight people, it can be such an inspiration seeing the extent these people are willing to push themselves to. I know there's been times I've been watching it at the gym, and it's the reason I run that extra mile! The only reason I don't give it a younger age rating is because of the sensitivity of young girls to issues of weight and body image. While it does send out positive messages and promotes a healthy lifestyle, a show focused entirely on weight loss runs the risk of making girls feel inadequate if they aren't losing weight or are otherwise unhealthy. For those with assured body image or who understand healthy weight loss, this show is a definite go.

Great show for the whole family :)
Do you like watching fat people loose weight and change their lives in a positive way? I do. The Biggest loser is a show about large, obese people that are willing to change their lives and feel better about their selves. It’s a competition based on who can lose the most weight at every weigh-in at the end of every week the fastest. The person with the lowest percentage of weight loss is off the show and has to work out and lose weight on their own till the finally where they show off how much they have changed. I like this show more than others because its real life and millions of people in America may be/are inspired by them and want to do it too. I recommend it for anyone to watch.

First of all, language isn't much of an issue, because they bleep out all the really bad words. i think there are great messages like good relationships with kids, and staying fit and healthy.

Nutrition and exercise or else!
I have been trying to lose weight since before my son was born - with varying levels of success. My son has watched me struggle with diet and exercise programs, so he is pretty aware of the issues. He also thinks of himself as an athlete and thinks he might enjoy being a trainer. This show we watch together and I don't pre-watch it because the issues being dealt with are ones that I feel comfortable with him seeing. The show actually helps combat body image messages from other media - we see what 250 pounds looks like and see that a 160 pound woman can actually look good! Seeing the tranformation in the way the people carry their weight is also good for him to see. For me, I find the show kind of motivational, but feel like I should be able to get the same results, but I work hard to lose 10 pounds a month - I can't see doing it in a week!
