New Reality Weight Loss Show: Diet Tribe
“DietTribe” is Lifetime’s new reality series that follows the emotional journey of five friends as they attempt to go from “fat” to “fit.” These women have made a commitment to lose their unwanted pounds together. With the help of professional fitness trainer Jessie Pavelka and psychotherapist Stacy Kaiser (of “Celebrity Fit Club” fame), each woman will change her eating and exercise habits over the course of three months and confront the issues that caused her to gain weight initially.
Watch as close friends work hard both mentally and physically to turn their lives around and look great one of the girl’s upcoming wedding. Don’t miss the premiere of “DietTribe” January 5th at 10 pm et/pt!!!!

I would love to be on this show.. here is my idea, there are four of us, we are all Realtors and desperately want to become healthy and trim… watch us do it??
How do we get on your show?
December 27th, 2008 at 5:40 am
I have the same desires as the rest of the people making comments. I too am 50 something and want to find a new me and be inspired to get there and stay there. I never watch reality series but this one is going to be my first to follow.
December 27th, 2008 at 2:08 pm
What a great show. So many of us fight every day with our weight. Up and down like a roller coaster for me. I even went on a blind date and the guy said, “well if you lost 20-25 pounds you would be perfect.” I want to stop the up and down with my weight. I want to be healthy and happy for myself any my son. I hope once this show hits it will be a true inspiration for myself to lose and keep the weight off. Good luck to all and may your goal weight dreams come true.

Looks like one could learn quite a bit from this. At least get ideas on what to do. I agree, it would be awesome to be on the show. I need to loose over 75 pounds.
December 29th, 2008 at 12:21 pm
I cannot tell U how I many times I watched “Celebrity Fit Club” and wished they had a show 4 non-celebs. 2day my silent prayers have been answered! I just saw the premier promo 4 “DIET TRIBE”!!! It is part of my destiny 2 B on this show! All I nee is casting info, because if my team & I R selected, I guarantee we R ready 4 war!
December 29th, 2008 at 12:33 pm
I have been seeing the commercials for this new show and I am so waiting for it to start! I’m 28 years old mother and wife and after 2 children I would love to be a part of this wonderful new show with 2 of my best friends. With college, marriage and children, we have let ourselves go and would love to learn to do something that is rarely taught to women… PUT OURSELVES FIRST! Thank you for your time and consideration.
December 29th, 2008 at 10:22 pm
This does look like a good show. If I had a group of friends, I think it would be a great challenge to be on your show. I’m 49 and will be 50 next year. I do not want to enter my 50’s overweight. I want my 50’s to be the most fabulous years of my life. I have a wonderful husband who, despite my weight, loves me and supports me. Yes, he would like to see me lose the weight as much as I would. I’m taking matters into my own hands. I know I’ll never be on a show, never have the help of a celebrity trainer or dietitian so, I’m doing my research on the internet, exercising each day for at least 1 hour and writing down EVERYTHING I eat. I will use shows such as this and other weight loss shows as inspiration and I will be fit and fabulous at 50!
December 29th, 2008 at 11:55 pm
I have 5 best friends who are between the ages of 35 and 55 and we so need something to force us to get our butts off of the couch and the chips/dips thrown in the trash (okay the wine too)….we have tried other diet systems, and waa laa we all drop out. We are chubbikins who all really want to trim and slim….oh boy do we need a kick start, even if we have to embarrass ourselves in a swimsuit., sweating, swearing to get that blubbery stuff off our beautiful bodies…eeeewwwww…Oh DietTribe TAKE US AWAY….!!!!!! We swear that we woke up that one day and somebody switched our bodies with someone elses - we still have our good looks (with a turkey chin) but nope somebody is playing tricks on us….HELP!!!

December 31st, 2008 at 1:49 am
I would like to be on the show. I want to make sure that my request to be on the show is in. I am 150+ pounds over weight and I wish I wasn’t. My size has caused me emotional problems as well as other health issues. I’m 29 years old and I’ve tried several different diets from shots to not eating. I need help. I ask that you please consider me for your show…maybe with your help I can have better results. I truly appreciate you for taking the time to read my request for help. Thank You LaDonna Pressey

I am a 24 year old woman. I have fellow friends around the same age and we have all struggled with our weight for years. With the help of professionals, I think that we could change out lives and pull together to make it happen. I would love to be able to say that I am healthy, and to look in the mrror without feeling depressed. I think the show is a fantastic idea. If you have openings for your next season, WE ARE THE GIRLS for you. Thank You Tori White

I am the director of a childcare facility in a small town in East Texas. We have a few teachers that need to lose alot of weight. Our options in a small town for work out are limited, and the minimum wage salaries that most of the teachers bring home, make it hard to find creative ways to help keep us doing the things we should be doing in order to lose weight. We would like to enlist ourselves for the show, so that , as one of our teachers put it, “I can ride the rollercoaster with my kids”. Please help us.
December 31st, 2008 at 5:39 pm
Hello, I think this show is going to be great! We need a show like this to help us ..I watched celebrity fit club and would have loved to have been on this show….All my life I have struggled with my weight, losing weight and gaining weight and blah blah…you know the routine. My father is diabetic and is having a hard time and I am now concerned about myself and my sister also. I have lost weight in the past and then i have gained some back also…I have a very dear sister,friend and cousin plus myself who needs to lose weight and would love to be on this show. How do we go about this? We are ready for 2009 and would love to change our lives with this show….so can anyone sign up for this show?
Thank you!

Hey, I saw the previews for Diet Tribe and so badly want to be on the show. My friends are however, all skinnier than myself. I’m the only overweight one in my family and group of friends. It’s dissappointing to be the odd one out. my weight is in the 285-300 lb range and need help desperately. I’m only 21 and try really hard on diets. It’s just hard to do it alone. Anything would help. Thanks so much for taking the time out to read this.

I know whomever is reading this is seeing all of the requests to apply for the show. I’m inquiring for the same. My friends and I, in my opinion, would be perfect for this show. We range in ages 26-33. If you’re looking for a new group that will keep high ratings, please contact me via e-mail at AKassab118@yahoo.com. . so we could further discuss options for a future season. thank you for your time.

I am a 47yr old mother of 4 (grown children). I am writing because of 2 of my children who are stuggling with their weight, like I have my whole life. Also my sister who is 41 (5′7″ 350+), and best friend of 35+yrs,
who is 47 (5′7″ 300). My oldest son Jason is 28 (6′2″
370), my second oldest Bryan is 26 (5′5″ 240). I myself am 5′4″ at 168. I am not so much worried about myself as I am my friend and family we all have health issues associated with being overweight (high blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol and tyroid.) My oldest son and my sister I worry about the most they have tried diet after diet and nothing. They are both fun and loving people, but because of the weight gain they are starting to close themselves off. Can you help? We would be a great group for you show. Please contact me. Thank you.

I have been seeing previews for this show diet tribe. I went to a site called Realitywanted.com and applied to the casting call. No one ever got back to me though. I am 21, 5′7 and weigh 298. My sisters and I are all trying to lose weight. Recently one of my sisters was put in the hospital because she found out that she is a diabetic but didn’t know. I really need to get on this show and so does she. I also have 2 other sisters that just want to look good and want to lose 50 or more pounds. If someone finds out how to apply for this show please e-mail me.

I’ve struggled wtih my weight my whole life. I”ll lose a few pounds and gain it all back if not more. I would love to be able to find someone to help me out and deal with the real issues going on and give me the support and the kick in the pants to do what I need to do.
I too have a few friends and we are all in the same boat, saying we are going to eat better get slim but it never happens.
January 5th, 2009 at 3:48 pm
Hi
I and my five friends would love to be on this show, we range in age from 30-40’s and are single/married.
How about giving the mature woman a shot at your show? We are not models, we are real women with real food and emotional issues that keep us from being that confident, healthy woman we all want to be.
We all have busy schedules, either stay at home mom’s with kids or work full time and go to school part time! Who has time for exercise? We need YOU!
January 5th, 2009 at 6:29 pm
My friends and I, there are 5 of us! We would be PERFECT for this show. We range in ages 37-41. We are located in Texas , Dallas/Fort Worth area! We are a group of neighborhood moms in the suburbs wanting to loose weight together!! Please contact me to interview for this new show!!
January 5th, 2009 at 10:55 pm
I think the show is great and what these women are trying to accomplish is brave and inspiring. I also must say that they chose an amazing trainer. He is so cute I couldn’t stop starring. Great casting Lifetime!!
January 5th, 2009 at 10:57 pm
I am very excited about the show the Diet Tribe. This show will set the tone for friends working together to gain a positive healthy life. I have five best friends and four of them are over weight. So including myself, four young ladies ( ages 29-31) are at least 100 pounds over weight. One of my best friends, is over weight by 30 pounds. At last, I have one friend who is the ideal southern girl. The weight has been an issue since childhood for two of us, however, three of us has gained this weight within the past three to four years.
We live in Memphis,TN were the obesity is a problem and diet pills are the answer. However, we are afraid and disagree with diet pills. If casting is an option,please contact us. Our Diet Tribe journey will break the obesity curse of the south and will never be forgotten.
We Need This Chance!

How my 3 friends and I are very excited about the Diet Tribe show/program. My friends who are between the ages of 22 and 32 and we so need something to force us to get our butts off of the couch and out into the physical world. We all gain the weight from having children and all of us have tried so many endless dead end diet systems, and nothing seems to work for us. We are the “Pillsbury Dough Girls” who desperately needs help with getting our health and bodies back into shape. We all have the will power and know with have that we can achieve our goals, if we are accepted to the show. We know and don’t care if we have to embarrass ourselves in a swimsuit, sweat, or swearing any other odd outfits, but in the end it will be all worth the effort. Like my mother always tell me, “Family, Health & your Life are priceless, you must care for those three thing and you from there are rich at heart.” (C) Monica Holbrook

Hello.
My son and I are VERY heavy and call ourselves the *Well-Rounded Team*
My age is 47 and Oliver is 28.
I weigh 264 lbs and my son Oliver weighs now 280 lbs
We live in Lynnwood Washington and are *Hermit Crabs*- *Home buddies*- some even call us stale.
My son’s interest is World of War craft and World of War craft. Did I mention World of War craft?
My interests are pretty much everything, but being fat does eliminate a lot of activities as well. We both love to joke around and humor us with witty remarks.
My son is a real hard worker (if he does not play world of war craft) and I was just recently laid off. Oh joy. More reason to eat.
I am a challenge for every trainer, because i have had back surgeries. PF as well (of course i am fat) and all the other stuff which comes of being *well rounded*.
I could really hear my son huffing and puffing when he just walked 5 stairs up recently (which he of course denies). We always laugh and smile in this apartment and try not to sob or having others feeling sorry for us.
WE STILL NEED TO LOOSE WEIGHT so we can be healthier and live longer.
Maybe you pick us for the challenge which would be a blessing.
Yours truly,
Regine and Oliver
*The Well-Rounded Team*
