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:

our dieters at the 25 year reunion was

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

The final dieters are:
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.
