For those alumni who were fortunate to meet Dateline producer, Susan Adams we have a link to remember all the hard work and dedication she put into her stories. Susan passed away last year from colon cancer. Please see:

REMEMBERING SUSAN ADAMS, PIONEERING DATELINE PRODUCER

The airdate of our dieters at the 25 year reunion was February 13, 2005 ! See Dateline Diet Challenge II story.

Our 25 Year Reunion was a good time for all those who attended !
Our slide show presentation of years past was a success
because of those folks who sent in pictures. Thanks Again!

The final dieters are:

John Memorich	INTENSE EXERCISE
Carrie McQuiston Newman	SOUTH BEACH
Lorri Hodson Pecoraro	GET WITH THE PROGRAM
Dawn Stephenson Singh	VEGETARIAN
Jim Wentland	THE USDA FOOD PYRAMID

As you can see we have replaced ATKINS with
THE USDA FOOD PYRAMID. After evaluating who wanted
what and listening to people's diet stories and food interests we
felt a better contrast would be a diet with a higher fat content
(SOUTH BEACH) and low fat approach (USDA FOOD PYRAMID).

It was extremely difficult to select the final five.
Edison had roughly 35 applicants, all great.

As who wanted what:

All 10 of the men who applied wanted INTENSE EXERCISE.
Almost all of the women wanted GET WITH THE PROGRAM.
Only 3 people wanted the VEGETARIAN diet.
