Tonight is the night we have all been waiting for, the season finale of Diet Tribe is finally here. At the final workout Jessie was impresses to see all the ladies working out by themselves. He wanted the ladies to show him the exercises they learned. They showed him the exercises they love the best, and they did them properly on their own. They have really came along way. At the begining they could only stay on a treadmill for a minute or so.

Stacy had the girls do the zip rank challenge because they were so freaked out in the beginning about the leap of faith. Everyone truly enjoyed going down the zip rank though. It really looked like so much fun. I want to try that sometime for sure.

Jessie picked all the ladies up the night before the triathlon so they can get set up in their hotels because they had to get up extremely early to start the triathlon. Everyone was pretty nervous about completing especially Mary. Stephanie really tried her best to help everyone keep their cool though. During the swim Mary and Rita stuck together because neither one of them really like the water. Lanissa had the most trouble on the bikes. Stephanie finished the bikes first. She was also first to finish the Triathlon, that was a huge goal to accomplish.  Then one by one the rest of the girls finished the triathlon. That was such an emotional moment to see each and every one of the ladies complete such a huge task.

As soon as the triathlon was over the girls and their families all boarded the Mariner of The Seas ship. Immediately after they all got a makeover. Then the moment had arrived for the final weigh in. Everyone of them walked in looking like movie stars. Lanissa lost 61 lbs. altogether. Rita lost 33 lbs. she was only 2 lbs. from her goal. Mary lost 51 lbs. Tiffany lost 46 lbs. Stephanie lost 51 lbs. and passes her goal. Everyone of them have grown closer bonds and have more confidence then ever before.

As the ladies of “Diet Tribe” continued on their journey Tiffany pushed all the girls to go on a  bike ride to help train for the triathlon. They went 4 miles up hill and back. During the workout Jessie pushed the girls to their max, by going from one workout to the next.

Then Jessie took the ladies on a weekend getaway to Lahoya for working so hard. Jessie took the ladies out to eat so they knew how to pick the best choices off a menu. The next day Jessie brought the women to practice with the US Women’s National Softball team. Mary ended up getting hit in the chin, but she was still brave enough to continue.

At the therapy session Stacy showed everyone pictures of themselves the way they used to look, then had them burn the pictures to say goodbye. I thought that was a great idea because when you loose weight it is easy to put it back on, and maybe closure is needed to never go back.

When the girls went surfing I was so jealous. It looked like so much fun. Stephanie was brave enough to stand up although she fell right off, Rita stood up as well but she stayed on the board. Everyone was so proud because she always wanted to surf. What a wonderful trip the girls had.

This week was the second to last weigh in. Rita lost 5 lbs. but still has 9 lbs. to lose. Tiffany lost 6 lbs. and also has 9 lbs. to lose. Stephanie only lost 2 lbs. but she only has 7 lbs. to go. Mary lost 6 lbs, and only has to lose 4 more lbs. to hit her goal. Lanissa lost 10 lbs, and went above and beyond her goal already. Watch next week to see the ladies in the triathlon and to see their final transformation.

This week I’m going to switch it up a bit. I figure you guys have already seen the episode so I’ll just let you know my thoughts instead of letting you know what happened on the show.

This week on Diet Tribe I am really starting to notice the difference in the ladies bodies. I am also starting to see them grow as individuals and they are getting so much self confidence. I was so happy for them when they went shopping and didn’t have to shop for plus sizes. To see a few of the ladies in a size 12 already was really astonishing.

I think everyone in America with financial problems and can’t afford their house payments can look at Rita as a role model. So many people would try everything to save their house and the truth is if they would move to a place they can afford they would realize it makes everything ok.

It was also a blessing to see all the ladies outside playing games with their kids. I play outside with my stepson all the time and kids really do love and appreciate that.

Seeing the ladies run this week gave me such motivation because I have never been able to run 3 miles, I’m lucky if I can run a quarter of a mile.

Stephanie was truly lucky to have Mary throw her  such an amazing party. I’m glad their mom could make it. I’m hoping Stephanie and Tiffany will give their mom motivation to lose weight herself. Stephanie just reminds me of one of my friends. She seems like someone I could really hang out with.

Just in case you did miss this weeks episode, I decided to get it from Lifetime for you, enjoy!
Tell me, what did you think of the show this week?

Yesterday on Diet Tribe the ladies worked on training for the triathlon by swimming in the ocean. All the ladies were a bit nervous. Tiffany had a big fear of swimming in the ocean but her sister Stephanie stood by her side the whole time just like she had before when they were practicing for the triathlon. Mary was also having anxiety about it, she actually had a panic attack in the ocean, but she pulled through conquered her fear and finished. All the ladies finished but Rita was the fist one out of the water. She has really been kicking butt.

Next Stephanie, Tiffany and their families went to an amusement park. When they were bigger they weren’t able to ride roller coasters because they didn’t fit but this time they rode all kinds of roller coasters. They were just so happy to have that experience with their kids without worry.

During therapy with Stacy Kaiser Lanissa admitted she loved to sing but had a fear of singing around crowds. To help her conquer her fear Stacy had arranged the opportunity for Lanissa to sing at a ballpark.

Then The ladies all decided to get together and take a salsa class. They all had a lot of fun, plus it was a good workout. The ladies even got to dance with hot guys. Before they lost the weight they never would have been comfortable dancing sexy like that.

When the girls met up with Jessie at the gym, he incorporated resistance training, with 10 lb. dumbbells and body balls. Resistance training helps tone and also slows down the aging process.

Later Mary and Tiffany went to Fanta Sea Yachts to begin to plan a huge 40th birthday part for Stephanie. The Yacht was absolutely gorgeous.  The girls did food tasting to be sure the food they were feeding their guests was good. I was truly impressed to see their self control by only taking one bite of each thing. I personally don’t have that kind of will power at this point.

Opening night for the OC Fliers Lanissa was there to sing “America the Beautiful”. She was really nervous, but she did an outstanding job.

At the weigh in Jessie reminded the ladies that this is the point when a lot people usually plateau so not to get discouraged. Tifffany weighed 192 lbs, lost 4 lbs and a total of 29 lbs, and has 21 lbs. to go. Rita weighed 160 lbs. lost 3 lbs. a total of 17 lbs. and has 18 lbs. to go. Rita was very upset about her low week. Stephanie weighed 210 lbs. lost 5 lbs. a total of 34 lbs. and has 16 lbs. to go. Mary weighed 176 lbs. lost 7 lbs. a total of 34 lbs. with 16 lbs. to go. Lanissa weighed 297 lbs, lost 6, lbs. a total of 38, lbs with 12 lbs. to go. It was so exciting for Lanissa to break the 300 lb. mark. The ladies did not hit their goal this week, but they still did an amazing job.
