Jillian Michaels is leaving NBC's weight-loss reality show, The Biggest Loser, after Season 11.

"Season 11 of Biggest Loser will be my last :) have to finish out my contract," Michaels, 36, announced on her Twitter earlier this week.

"I want to take a year off TV and focus on becoming a mommy and doing more charity work," she wrote.

Michaels launched her own weight-loss show, Losing It, over the summer. "Shooting Losing It also had big impact on me," she said of the series, in which she helped kids slim down. "Living with kids, I saw firsthand what I was missing."

Michaels also tweeted that her replacement has already been hired. "Using my last season to help launch her in season 11," she wrote.

Michaels' final season premieres next month.
