Fans of The Biggest Loser are counting the days until their favorite reality television show is back on the air and we have the exclusive details on the new season – and the return of new mom Jillian Michaels!

Biggest Loser 14 is set to return in January, 2013 and the tough-as-nails trainer who said the 2010 season would be her last has decided to give it another try. Today, Jillian sat down with Al Roker on the set of the Today Show to make the big announcement:

“Big announcement, yes” she says with a huge smile on her face. “so, there’s been a lot of talk swirling around and the time is now to finally announce that I will be returning to the show for the next season of the show starting in January.”

So what made her decide to return to the show after taking some time off to focus on being a mom?

“The show has chosen to take on something very controversial, they’re going to go after childhood obesity and there are going to be three teenagers on each team,” she says, noting that the kids won’t necessarily be competing on their own but will alongside the adult competitors.

Are you happy Jillian Michaels is returning to Biggest Loser – and do you think the childhood obesity aspect of the new season is a good idea?
