“DietTRIBE” (Lifetime)

One of the surprise hits of last year was Lifetime’s reality series “DietTRIBE.” This show focused on a group of friends who were put through their paces by Personal Trainer Jessie Pavelka in an attempt to lose weight – together. Now it is time for a new series of shows with a new group of five friends, and this one starts off as enjoyably as the last one.

The five friends in this show include two sisters. Three of the ladies are married, one is divorced, and one has just entered into a relationship. All of the women have their own personal reasons for wanting to lose weight. 

Jessie starts off the training by saying he wants Stephanie, Tiffany, Mary and LaNessa to lose fifty pounds over the course of one hundred and twenty days. Rita, who is shorter than the other women, is assigned a weight loss of thirty five pounds.

In order to reach these goals the women are going too have to change their eating habits and their drinking habits. They are also going to be put through a grueling physical activity program. Can they make it? Well they think they can.

But then Jessie adds another goal. He says that at the end of the program all five of the ladies are going to take part in a triathlon. This means they had better get into great shape because a triathlon is one of the toughest events to master.

Jessie handles the physical training and nutritional advice for the ladies. Psychiatrist Stacy Kaiser is there to discuss their fears and motivations. Some of her sessions with the women get pretty intense but it is all part of the overall program.

Will these women meet their goals or will they get fed up and toss Jessie in the ocean? To know the answer to those questions you will have to watch the eight episodes of “DietTRIBE.” Based on the first two episodes that were previewed it is going to be a fun and a dramatic ride.

So join Jessie, Stacy and the five brave women of “DietTRIBE” on October 2 at 9PM on the Lifetime Channel. The five friends are working hard to lose the weight so you should be there to support them.
