Get Bikini body ready with Michelle Bridges
"You have a few more social occasions, a champagne thrust into your hand, and before you know it, the weight creeps on."
LEIGH REINHOLD
The Biggest Loser trainer tells Woman's Day how to lose the festive flab – and offers 50 lucky readers the chance to join her unique 12 Week Body Transformation program.

When The Biggest Loser fitness trainer Michelle Bridges slips into a bikini for our exclusive poolside cover pics, there’s no need to employ an airbrush to fix any imperfections – her body looks smoking hot from every angle.

However, even 41-year-old Michelle, a health and fitness advocate all her life, knows how easy it is to put on a few kilos over the silly season. “You have a few more social occasions, a champagne thrust into your hand, and before you know it, the weight creeps on,” she says. But that was then… Now we’ve all raised a glass or two to 2012, and it’s resolution time again, Michelle is planning to lose the “two or three kilos” she gained by joining her online fitness recruits for the latest round of her hugely successful 12 Week Body Transformation.

An online nutrition, exercise and mindset system, the 12WBT has already helped “tens of thousands” of Australians to unleash their inner hottie. And word has spread far and wide, with teams in the UK, USA, Canada, Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei and Norway. “I even had one brave member who lived on a research facility in the Antarctic!” Michelle says. “She built her gym in a frozen shed and was on the forums telling everyone to harden up when they complained about the weather.”

Michelle created the system with her business partners, including husband Bill Moore, after being inundated with personal training requests following her success on Loser. She uses online coaching and videos to educate and motivate a nation into shedding its obesity problem, once and for all. And it’s working. In the past two years, the system has helped strip a whopping 100,000kg from Australia’s collective waistline! Now in its seventh round, Michelle is delighted to welcome new members to her 12WBT program, which kicks off again on January 16 – and she’s offering 50 lucky Woman’s Day readers the chance to join for FREE!

Read more about how you can be one of the 50 lucky readers to join Michelle's program for free, plus get her top three weight loss tips in this week's Woman's Day on sale January 2, 2012.

Im so sick of hearing you people complain about your weights!? How about you get off the computor & go workout? And for those of you using "Thyroid" problems or slow metabolisms, shame on you. Theres no evidence showing that either of those things actually affect your weight gain. Its simply that your eating too much!!
Hi Michelle i seem to have trouble entering your comp. You say keeping off weight is a psychology. I have tried yoga but still can't seem to clear my mind. Could you help please?
Im exhausted - from pretending that im ok with what ive become - overweight who is missing out on the possibilities of my life
I'm 60 years old and have been on so many different diets all my life now living on my own and its so easy to come home have a few beers, gin or red wine then I eat far too much, and fall asleep in front of the TV. I'm 173 cm tall and weigh 94.5.
I work full time then come home to prepare my 4yr olds dinner. Most of the time we walk then i come home to cook dinner for myself and partner. Just eating the wrong things the wrong time of day. Need a better plan and determination.
Michelle I NEED HELP! I'm 30 yrs old with a 3 yr old daughter, since having my daughter I have gained 30 kilos and just can't seem to do it on my own but cannot afford personal trainers etc pls pick me I need this for me!!!!!!!
Had a cesarian 5 months ago, entered my first triathalon 4 months latter. Very determined but my nutrition lets me down. Please help improve myself !
I am a 65 yr old woman and over the last 5 yrs have been slowly gaining weight.I have attended a gov. health body to try to lose weight but to no avail. I do have arthritis in both knees and suffer from fibro myalgia which makes it painful to exercise. I am 160cm. tall and weigh 85kgs, which does not help the knees I know. I have also developed high blood pressure and colestroel in the last couple of years, which I am on tablets to control, plus I now find myself getting breathless when I do a little extra exertion. I really DO NEED HELP !
Hi Michellle I would love the opportunity to win this chance of a lifetime. I was an obese girl reared in Ireland. I liked sport,but it didn't love me. I was always the sub. Picked last or put in goal, as they said I was big enough to keep the balls out. I went to a department store in Sydney recently, where the shop assistant refused to remove the security tag from a garment to preserve my feelings, as " it couldn't possibly fit a girl of my size". Thing is, i feel slim, and often wonder why people want to keep telling me I'm big. Please help me look on the outside the way I feel on the inside.
Help. I am a widow having lost my husband to multiple sclerosis. Now i suffer from diabetes 2 and need motivation for 12 wbt. Help please.

True Confessions Agony Aunt: I hate my StepsonTrue Confessions Agony Aunt: I hate my StepsonAre you kidding me?? For all these people who have commented " you don't know what it's like to be a step parent" blah blah blah.... who are you trying to kid?? And for those saying that you have your own kids and step kids and the step kids are manipulative etc etc, are you blind and dumb? Your kids are not perfect either i bet! I bet your kids are just as rude when you are not around! I have a 12 year old daughter and i have been with my partner for 5 years. He struggles alot with my daughter because she gives him hell. She has said several times she wishes it was just me and her again, but because my partner loves me he sticks it out and knows that it's just her trying to get her own way. He loves her and would do anything for her no matter what she does, that's what's good parents do. If you can't warm to a child or don't like your soon to be step child then dont marry the parent. You are just being selfish otherwise. Just imagine if the shoe was on the other foot...b81die, Brisbane29 CommentsPost commentView comments

Yes the type of cancer was one of the least lethal but none the less she had cancer attacking her body. she had chemo, i've watched some of my closest friends on chemo and it is always so horrific. She has pushed past that and made brilliant songs. Her music is heartfelt. She sis so beautiful and in her flim clips she dresses with dignity and respect unlike other artist who just let everything hang out and sing about sex, drugs and alcohol. She was put on the voice because she is ment to be there the people who run the show chose her. don't like it ? simple don't watch it. If you don't like her as an artist fine, don't buy her albums. She is human and she has feelings, give the woman a break.Cathh.Ann, QLD, Gold Coast28 CommentsPost commentView comments Darren Hayes dishes: I know the real DeltaDarren Hayes dishes: I know the real DeltaI love her !!wiz, melbourne16 CommentsPost commentView comments Grant and Candice: Why they splitGrant and Candice: Why they splitGive the guy a break!
