City Connect Detroit wonders what you're doing next week when Jillian Michaels, the fitness trainer on NBC's "Biggest Loser" will be in town. She's looking for Michigan families to audition for a new weight loss show. Our Food and Fitness Collaborative wants Michigan families to eat healthier, exercise and lose weight, too. We can't put yo...u on TV, but we can promise you a grand prize of a longer, healthier life!
