    It's kind of like going to a hair dresser who has the worst hair ever. I doubt I would want to get my hair cut by that person, let alone, a "personal trainer" who could not train his/her own body some weight control.

    Well, would you agree to be seen by an obese doctore or a doctor who smoked?


    I do. He's a really good doctor. He'll probably die before me but that is his business.

    Wow, aren't we a judgmental group! It's interesting that so many clinically overweight people are so hung up on other people's weight.

    I wouldn't ...but that's because I would never hire a trainer period..

    I am shocked about the responses...

    I have seen people with bad hair cuts and bad hair dos....be real good at cutting hair and doing hair..

    People that are skinny as a twig....but can bake and cook with REAL butter..

    People that are bad with their own finances....but can spot a penny mistake in other people's finances...

    Amen.

    In terms of the doctor thing... I refuse to see any doctor that I know is religious. I don't want mumbo jumbo mixed in with my healing science thankyou very much. ^_^

    My trainer was about 100 pounds over weight when she first started training me, she had lost about 60 pounds.. know after working with her for a year shes lost almost 170 pounds and has helped me lose 80 pounds. I always felt like she really knows what i go through. Because shes been through it. I personally would want to get to know the person first, how much they weigh doesnt matter to me.

    How long ago did they file? Why did they file? Have they learned from that experience? Do they know how to avoid it again?

    Must be nice to live in a world that is all black or white. Unfortunately, so much grey gets missed.

    Must be nice to be so secure in your finances to take a chance like that.

    No way! They don't have to be completely buff or super duper fit but not obese.

    Nope. I wouldn't hire an obese nutritionist or dietitian either.


    ditto

    Nope.

    I want to look at my goal while I'm working towards it.

    Having filed for bankruptcy as a married couple, I am not comfortable casting harsh judgement against people when I don't know their circumstances.

    And FYI, we filed because we were swamped in med bills after a horrible round of illness. Not all people who file do so because they are irresponsible.

    But rock on with your bad self. Keep judging, I hear glass houses really are the new cool thing.

    No. I agree that looks don't determine what they know and how much they can teach, but you look for someone who will motivate you as a trainer. I (and most people) would be far more motivated by someone who was more physically fit and could actively push you, rather than someone who is unlikely to be in good shape physically.

    Um...no! If I had the money for a trainer, I would find a super-fit female trainer who could inspire me.
