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.

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!
January 1st, 2009 at 10:10 am
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*

I would really love to be on this show. I have been through so much in my life. I was so skinny and adorable growing up then I started gaining all this weight. Over the years I was told I had polcyistic ovarian syndrome which causes weight gain. I was diagnosed with depression and bi-polar. I was going to a Catholic Private school because public schooling was too bad. I didn’t want to go to school because I got beat up all the time. I had no friends and lived in a trailer park. So when my mom put me in this Catholic Private school I thought things would change having my cousin who was the same age at school with me. But things just got worse. He was picking on me left and right. I had attempted suicide. I was misrable non-stop. Now I am 18 with diabetes and 50 pounds over weight if not more. I have tried everything to get rid of this weight. I think it would be cool to have some girls my age. 18-20 with weight issues on the show. Email me what you think. Blueyedhoney27@yahoo.com

Hi, my name is Penny; I am 33 and live in Atlanta, GA. I’m 5’5″ and weight 184.5 lbs. As my best friend Mary would say… I want to be a shape that isn’t round. I have personality for days and would definitely be an asset to the show. I am tired of being single and just need a little help becoming the best me I can be… on the outside.
What appealed to me about Diet Tribe is the ability to work and have a life while participating on the show. I have always wondered how the people on the Biggest Loser we able to take so much time off from work.
Trust me ratings will hit a high with a crazy blond, a hysterical red head, a British teacher who puts Nanny 911 to shame, and lesbian lovers.

I would like to participate as a person on Diet Tribe. I am a soon to be 35 year old black female who is the mother of a 2 1/2 year old little girl. I weigh 235 lbs and I am 5’9″ tall I know that puts me a great risk and I know that I am overweight (obese for my age and height). I know I desperattely have to get this weight off of me because diabetes, high blood pressure, heart problems etc. run in my family on my dad’s side and I really want to be around for my daughter. She needs me and I need to be here for her. Her grandmother would also be a great candidate along with my Auntie Gwen we have all tried to do this on our own but we all need a good swift kick in the pants to do it and be successful. Please someone tell me how we can be apart of the show. I will live and not die.
Thanks

I just turned 46. My husband is leaving for Afghanistan in a few weeks and depression has hit me like a ton of brick. All I do is cry and eat. I have had weight issues all my life. In the past 10 years I have weighed anywhere from 102 lbs. (way too thin for 5’5″) to 210 lbs. I lost and stayed around 120 to 125 and in the last year, and binge eating from depression, I have no clue what I now weigh because of fear to weigh. I would guess around 160 and all I do is binge, cry and not go out of my house. The weight issue makes me want to hide since the last time the outside world saw me (school events but my daughter graduated so I don’t have to be seen now) I weighed only 125. I’ve been on an emotional rollercoaster for many years (had a baby boy that died and 32 operations) so my weight has been up and down that rollercoaster with me, all the way from starving myself to eating myself to death. I’m out of resorces and need some professional help. I’ve spend thousands on diets, diet pills, given myself shots and I even tried the health club, so my resources are gone. I may not be 50 or more pounds overweight now but I’m well on my way. Anyone who battles weight KNOWS that 20 lbs. overweight can be as emotionally draining to someone as 50 lbs. Any suggestion on how I could possibly be on diet tribe and change my entire eating lifestyle?

I struggle daily with the weight. To some, I may not be that much over weight but, to me, I am. When I was 36 years old, I weighted 125 pounds and then I had a full hysterectomy and the weight just started pouring on. Many of my friends suffer from obesity and at our age, it seems impossible to take the weight off. I have tried diets and exercising to no availe. Hopefully your show would help me take the weight off. Let’s prove to women who have had hysterectomies or gone through menopause that you can take the wieght off. Help us help others and prove, you can take the weight off.

How can I get on the show? I need some help real bad. I’m a single parent of one,right now I attend college. Since I been 16 -year -old I never like my body. If I can correct this issue,there nothing anyone can said about my body. I’m at a age now that I should feel good about the body I have. But I don’t !My weight is a big problem. This weight prevent me ,from hanging out with my daughter. Doing outside actives. Also i’m one of the overweight person that it hurt in my heart ;but I ask like it don’t !! Due to the fact that I am always the strong person.

HEL–LO? IS ANYONE FROM THE SHOW DIETTRIBE READING THESE POSTS? I would doubt it. I would like to really know why you need to lose more than 100 pounds to even be looked at for these diet/fitness shows. Anyone knows who has dieted all their lives, the bigger you are the faster youlose the weight on a diet. You will lose least the first 60 lbs within a few months! The real challenge for Dietribe and even shows like the Biggest Loser is to select women over 40, ( like me) with 40 plus pounds just holding on… who can’t seem to lose weight no matter what diet and how much excercise you do because of hormonal and estrogen challenges due to menepause and conditions that slow the metabolism down with age! NOW THAT IS THE REAL CHALLENGE! I want to see people like me learn how to get over this hump! Dietribe are you up for this challenge? I would like to see you handle this!
October 16th, 2009 at 7:55 am
I read the postings and think, so many others just like me…. I am 49 and fall intot he obese catagory as my doctor says. The last two years have been emotionally up and down for me. I have 3 new Grandbabies and 1 new Great Grandbaby which has helped keep my spirits from plummeting. We moved close to the children and shortly after the move most of our belongings were in a flood. A few months later I lost my job and now we are battling financial stress. My weight is a constant battle that I have lost over the last 15 years. I am showing signs that the excess weight is being detrimental to my health. I am too young for these problems and want to take of the weight and get healthy. I am not a candidate for surgery (20 lbs to light) I need to learn how to cook , eat, and excercise to loose it and keep it off. I am ready to learn! Please let me know how to become a contestant on your show.
October 16th, 2009 at 8:22 pm
Well where do I start I’m 30 years old with two kids and I work to jobs I never got time to eat healthy or even eat at all. It might not seem a lot but I weight 185 pounds and I’m only 5″6 . It really hard on my back and legs. I’ve tried so many diets its not even funny I work out when I can but when I don’t see any changes then I stop my diet. I don’t want to lose weight for just myself. But for my girls also they be wanting to do things simple as skating and I’m just to lazy to do it or I get out of breath real fast. I just want to be health and live happy. I’m willing and wanting to lose this weight. If I could lose 45 to 50 pounds the right way instead of taking all those diet pills that don’t work and is just a waste of money. It makes me gain more weight cause I get stress out and I just eat anything. I’m not going to right a book even though I could but I could really use the help cause I’m sick of pushing people out and be happy and be present in my life not just my life moving on without me

Hi:
Help Me Pleaseeeee…I’m 60lbs. overweight. I keep trying to eat better and boy I can’t seem to get it right. My excerse is not so good either. I am out of work, and so is my husband. I would love this opportunity to get in shape so that I can compete back in the job market.
Please help. How can I become a contestant on your show.
October 20th, 2009 at 12:42 am
Hey! This is a great show. I love to see the people get on the scales and see the weight come off. It changes those people and we in the viewing audience get to experience their change. I have had bad luck with diets. I tried on diet pills and loved it. I was losing 8 -9 lbs a week, every week. But then found out just what it did to me and that was not worth the lost weight: it had damaged my heart. So know I faced the challenge of loosing weight with a heart problem. The heart problem makes it hard to exercise to an extreme level. I would need to learn how to exercise with my condition. I need to get 60 pounds or more off me. The extra weight is hard on my damaged heart caused by the diet pills. I would love your help and would love to be on your show, I know that there is a way for me to succeed with the proper help. I don’t want my life cut short because i am obese. I think this would be great show: The Diet Tribe made up of people who have taken a diet drug and have had extensive damage. Because I can pretty much bet that they too have gained all their weight back, and some, just like me! Please save my life and others like me!

Hi I’m ashley I’m 5’8″ and 260+ pounds. I’m 22 years old with a 2 year old and a baby on the way but I know that even after I deliver I won’t be able to lose the extra pounds. I gained around 100 pounds when I had my daughter and lost very little of the weight. I need help losing the weight and I’ve tried to do it on my own. We need more shows where everyday people like all of us can get tje help we need to better ourselves. I’m afraid I’m going to have health problems in the future. Please help not only me but all these women on here. We need people to hear us.

I’m casting for a new weight loss show that is looking for teams of two who are a combined 100+ pounds overweight and want to compete to be the first team to lose 100 pounds with the help of top health professionals and fitness experts. Teams will have a chance to bet their own money, banking on their ability to lose
the pounds. So ante up and get ready to be RICH and THIN!!!!
