The upcoming season of The Biggest Loser Families will see the trainers forced to consume everything their obese contestants regularly do in a week in a bid to prove just how much unhealthy eating affects their weight.
And if the newest teaser is anything to go by, it all gets very real for the show's star Michelle Bridges.
The fitness guru is forced to weigh in for the first time with the scales flickering up to 16 kilos above her original weight of 60.2 kilos in the promo.

Her turn: Michelle Bridges hits the scale for a weigh in the upcoming season of The Biggest Loser Families
While not giving away the exact amount Michelle gained, it's clear from the shocked faces looking on that it's not small number.
'They're saving me til last. I know why,' the personal trainer can be heard saying before she steps up to the scales.
'I bet I put the most weight on.'
And it doesn't appears as though Michelle had it easy at her family's dinner table, with the brunette - who is now expecting her first child with co-star Steve 'Commando' Willis - sitting down to an enormous, 2.5 kilo burrito at one point.

Massive: She's clearly not impressed with her lot and at one point it presented with a 2.5 kilo burrito
'You're joking. It's like the size of a newborn child,' she exclaims as it's put before her.
But it isn't only Michelle who's put through her paces, with the Commando eating deep fried chicken washed down with a 1.5 litre lemonade for breakfast at his family's home.
Shannan Ponton meanwhile, was shocked to swallow a family sized lasagne for lunch.
While it's clear the results of the experiment shock across the board, it's nothing the fierce trainers can't face.
Each trainer coaching a family of four, they get to work whipping their contestants into shape through hard hours in the gym.

Shannan revealed to Daily Mail Australia that filming finished earlier this month, and said he drew a bit of a short straw.
'I've got the four naughtiest, belligerent, cantankerous contestants I've ever had, not only on the show but in 24 years as a trainer,' he told DMA.
Admitting he had some of the biggest battles he's ever had with contestants, the coach wasn't too glowing of the family he worked with, saying he's not sure how producers can edit them 'to look in a beautiful light'.

'The other three trainers were just looking at me every day shaking their heads going "Mate, we feel sorry for you champ",' he admitted.
'The family dynamic was bringing out the absolute worst in each other and they fed off each other and united to fight the whole thing,' the boxer added.
This season will see returning trainers Shannan, Michelle and Commando joined by newcomer Tiffany.
TBL Families will air on Network Ten later this year.
