Nancy says
March 8, 2011 at 4:49 amUh YOU?
Are you applying???
Sarah says
March 8, 2011 at 4:58 amI was so excited when I saw you tweet about this yesterday!
Do you have any idea what kinds of certifications they require?
Helen says
March 8, 2011 at 5:05 amI’m applying Mizzy!
Thanks so much for the info.
Valerie says
March 8, 2011 at 5:47 amYeah, I would absolutely vote for you, Miz. Hands down.
Lindsay says
March 8, 2011 at 5:49 amI’d NOT vote for you for Bl, Mizzy.
You should have your own show.
Something different like MizFit PLAYouts where you drag people out of the gym and make them do stuff like yesterday’s post! π
Lisa Johnson says
March 8, 2011 at 5:55 amWell since the last female trainer they hired didn’t have a personal trainer certification until after she got the gig … you probably don’t need much for certs. Pretty interesting they’d rather have “celebrity” status than, ya know, actual skills …
Just saying …
Lisa
Nate says
March 8, 2011 at 6:18 amI have a few trainer friends who would rock this.
Thanks Miz.
Nate says
March 8, 2011 at 6:18 amLOL at Lindsay’s comment.
That vid yesterday was awesome.
Bea says
March 8, 2011 at 6:23 amAre you applying Miz???
Joanna Sutter says
March 8, 2011 at 6:30 amOh, I can’t wait to see which Miz reader wins! I’ll be tuning in for the rest of the story!
Marisa @ Loser for Life says
March 8, 2011 at 6:38 amI hope YOU were ALL OVER THIS!!! I want to see YOU on the screen!!! You already motivate us all here, I can just imagine how you can change someone’s life in person and on national TV!
Diana - Scale Junkie says
March 8, 2011 at 6:40 amI never said *I* would be a better trainer I said YOU would be a better trainer YOU, YOU all YOU!
Natalia says
March 8, 2011 at 6:49 amUh, that would be you! π
Layah says
March 8, 2011 at 6:55 amI nominate you for MIZspiration!
That’s your TV show. Forget the Biggest Loser.
Trainer Lexa says
March 8, 2011 at 7:01 amThanks for the info!!
Lori says
March 8, 2011 at 7:14 amYou sure they weren’t contacting you about applying?! π
Jody - Fit at 53 says
March 8, 2011 at 7:16 amOf course you Carla! Are you still certified? I am not so I guess I don’t qualify. I love the suggestion of you having your own show!!! I am not thrilled with the new trainers on this season so you get yourself on there ! π
Stacey says
March 8, 2011 at 7:18 amUm YOU?
The combo of your brains and you brawn is what Biggest Loser needs.
The contestents seem to spiral out of control post-production.
They need you.
Lynn Haraldson says
March 8, 2011 at 7:21 amWill you apply?? You were MADE for TV!
Fab Kate says
March 8, 2011 at 7:36 amCarla, think of the changes you can make in your life, the benefits to the Tornado and Ren Man if YOU were that trainer! Have you talked about it? Would you consider it? I mean, YOU’VE been there, had to lose the weight, and have proven you can do it. What a story right there!
Sure, it would mean a big change. I’m pretty sure from what I’ve seen that you don’t currently live in LA… is it something you and Ren Man would consider?
This could be one heck of a jump in your career!
Fab Kate says
March 8, 2011 at 7:37 amoh, and I’m guessing that Ellen would fall all over herself trying to get you on HER show then π
Kerri O says
March 8, 2011 at 8:11 amUm, I know this was already asked, but are you applying/ in the running for this???
Shannon says
March 8, 2011 at 8:20 amMIZ! MIZ! MIZ! MIZ! You’ve got to do it!!
Dani says
March 8, 2011 at 8:22 amI love that photo of you MizFit.
You look so happy.
Miz says
March 8, 2011 at 8:47 amyou all are so kind, but you know me.
I’m slow & steady wins the (longterm) weight-loss race.
Consistency. Just a little something every day. Forever.
Those poor contestants would be on the ranch for months π
KCLAnderson (Karen) says
March 8, 2011 at 9:10 amI am glad you’re NOT applying Carla…like others said, you deserve your own show, where you call the shots and control the content, theme, tone. You’d help SO many more people!
Tina says
March 8, 2011 at 9:13 amThanks MIz for that final comment, that is my thing about the weight loss shows, it takes a lifestyle change, a slow progression, an hour a day for life to stay healthy and active. Respect your comment immensely says the former thick snack who lost 55 pounds last year and continues to live an active healthier lifestyle to sustain and encourage others. π
Sylvie says
March 8, 2011 at 9:15 amYay!
Is there a deadline?
Thanks for this!
Colleen says
March 8, 2011 at 9:34 amWell I am happy they are opening it up for all to apply!!! I cannot wait to see who we get to vote for! I wish I certified already and experienced I would love this gig!
Alyssa says
March 8, 2011 at 11:15 amI’d say we start a campaign to get you selected, Miz, but you’re right. Slow and steady wins the race, if not the $250,000.
And TBL drives me nuts, anyway.
So, whaddaya say we campaign to get you your own show, lol!
Kelly Happy Texan says
March 8, 2011 at 11:34 amAwesome! Would love to see “one of our own” out there. But I was a Jillian fan. I’ll miss her.
Renee says
March 8, 2011 at 12:08 pmI’m applying!!
Pretty Pauline says
March 8, 2011 at 1:00 pmYES MIZ! Are YOU applying?
Karen says
March 8, 2011 at 1:44 pmI’m glad they are looking because I am not loving the new gal. I’ve only watched for a couple seasons but it is hard to imagine the show without Jillian. I’d watch YOU in a heartbeat! But maybe you need your own show!
MrsFatass says
March 8, 2011 at 2:43 pmIs this your secret way of telling us you applied?
MizFit says
March 8, 2011 at 3:20 pmno no no π Im not a secret woman. There would be rafters sung from…
Cammy@TippyToeDiet says
March 8, 2011 at 7:44 pmI wonder if they would accept a trainer with a squish belly. Probably not.
Oh wait, I’m not a trainer anyway. π
Debra says
March 8, 2011 at 8:18 pmYou should do it!!! Are you?? Inquiring minds…I don’t watch it but I would if you were the trainer : )
Debra says
March 8, 2011 at 8:19 pmSo no?
Jen says
March 12, 2011 at 7:42 pmWhat’s interesting to me is what’s not listed here:
Experience with clients who are seriously obese
An understanding of eating disorders
Special expertise in handling clients with serious past traumas
Physical therapy experience (for the inevitable injuries)
I really think they lucked into getting good trainers with Bob and Jillian, and with the priority on looks and fame suggested by what’s listed here, they are going to have a really hard time finding anyone even close to as good. Unless they get lucky again, of course.
