Today was my first time watching this season of “DietTribe”…Five friends, Stephanie, Mary, Rita, Lanissa, and Tiffany are all on a mission to lose weight together. None of the ladies hit their goal last time because they didn’t stick to the diet. Jessie then gave them a 1200 calorie a day diet plan instead of 1500 calories to help them reach their goal.
The girls are training for a triathlon. They will ride bikes, run, and swim. This week as they practiced I was in awe of how hard they were working to change mentally and physically.
After training, all the ladies met Stacy Kaiser in white jump suits and they wrote their excuses in marker on the suits. Then they had to take off the suits and look at themselves in the mirror in swim suits and see what the excuses did to them.
After a couple of the girls had therapy sessions (which was all too winy for me) and they all went swimming they showed them all preparing their dinners. Then they all met up for a night out. It was a huge surprise for them to get compliments from men that they though would normally never hit on them.
At the weigh in Rita weighed in at 167 lbs. and lost 5 lbs. Stephanie weighed 223 lbs. and lost 6 lbs. Tiffany weighed 202 lbs. and lost 5 lbs. Mary weighed 187 lbs. and lost 7 lbs. Lanissa, weighed 311 lbs. and lost 13 lbs. They are all doing a fantastic job! All the ladies got beautiful sapphire and diamond necklaces for hitting their goal as a team.
I wish I would have watched this season from the beginning to see what was driving them all to lose the weight, how they all became friends, and what their goal weight is. Actually I might just go back and watch the first few episodes to know more about the girls.
