Jacky Kmet, 42, wanted to be on The Biggest Loser to rediscover the athlete she used to be and help her kids in the process. In this exclusive video, she reveals her challenge to host Bob Harper: “My kids don’t know the real me.”
“The fact that we can do this and then take it home to our two children—we have a 12-year-old and a 5-year old—is going to help the whole family,” says Kmet, whose husband, Steve, is her partner on the show. “But we can stop the bad cycle that we’ve started with our kids and teach them the positive cycle that they can continue on into adulthood, making smart choices.”
Her daughter, Kayleigh, 12, is a terrific athlete who loves playing sports, but is struggling with her weight. “The nutrition part, because of us, has not been so good,” Kmet confesses. “So I think that’s the biggest thing. Once we get all of this in check, we can’t wait to see her soar. I think it’s going to be amazing to watch her.”
“We’ve set bad examples for both Kayleigh and Jack, and we have to do a better job,” says Steve. “In our heads, we feel we’re athletes, and we want to share and show our true selves to Jack and Kayleigh.”
