Isabeau Miller lashes back.

Isabeau Miller was on The Biggest Loser, having lost feom 306 lbs to 185 she has had some real-life struggles and regained a lot of weight, that she has already lost much of in that video.   Once again, proving we're all very much human, and the weight loss 'support' community is very harsh.

She posted this on her MySpace page in rebuttal to her hate mail:

"Sometimes you just have to laugh... You know what amazes me about this weight loss community that I found inadvertently through my appearance on Biggest Loser? When you're perfect, they are the most SUPPORTIVE people in the world, and the second you gain back a lb, it turns into a war of words.


I get emails on a weekly basis wanting to know if I've gained back weight. The majority of them, I dont even merit with a response, because, yes, I was on a weight-loss platform for a while, but now, and for the past year, I am a REAL person, and am planning on being that REAL person for the rest of my life.

So you wanted it, myspace- here you go. Before I left for the show, I was 306 lbs (despite my 298 lb starting weight). To this day I have maintained a true weight loss of 93 lbs, which I consider to be pretty damn good, considering the mess my metabolism was from going through a really intense experience. After the show, my body was in complete disarray because of what we all had to do to it and my guess would be if you asked ANY of the BL-ers if they weighed more even the day AFTER the finale, the answer would be yes.

Of course, coming home was a whole nother challenge because we WANTED to eat everything we had been deprived of and for the most part, I did, and I paid for it. I gained back a lot of weight quickly, and for the past 3 months, have worked my way back down to that 93 lb loss I'm talking about.

I made a vow to myself after the finale to not read the negative comments, and to focus on the positive, but sometimes they find YOU which I find even more depressing- that someone would go out of their way to make you feel bad about yourself.

I find that more sad than anything, but what makes me mad is when people question my ability to train people because of my gaining back some of my weight. I had people questioning whether I should have become a trainer even at the finale. Well, since then in the past year I have trained over 40 people in 20 different states through my online program, fitcamps, and personal training sessions. I consider myself a GREAT trainer because not only have I been through it, but I continue to go through it. I've told my current fitcampers, EVERYDAY is still a struggle. Right now, I'm on a gluten-free kick, trying to see how flour or the lack thereof might affect my ability to lose weight. But the point is, I have not had one client that has left one of my sessions feel unaccomplished, unsuccessful or as if "I don't know what I'm doing".

I know lots of you in the weight loss community tend to chitchat amongst each other, so I think it's time for all of us to spread the word- Negativity is not acceptable. We ALL struggle, and ALWAYS will. I am a food addict, and probably will be until the day I die. But I'm dealing with it. AND I'm helping other people deal with it, and I think THAT was the point of me being on Biggest Loser- not becoming a stick thin, almost unhealthy version of myself so I could be sexier, more perfect, etc- but becoming an informed, healthy, and hopefully inspiring role model not because of what MY number on the scale reads, but because of what I'm trying to do in helping others."
