Dr Phil's Ultimate Weight Loss Race

[dare2dream]

Dr Phil is full of words of wisdom and plenty of other stuff but when it comes to losing weight I will take all the motivation I can get.

Monday starts his 7th season and on Wednesday he will be introducing his Ultimate Weight Loss Race. 5 teams have been chosen to participate and on Thursday's show a team of two audience members is surprised to learn they will be competing also. The teams will race across the country and complete challenges along the way. This sounds so fun, a weight loss Amazing Race across the US.

Here is a link to his website outlining shows for next week. I'll be watching. What do you think?

I'm watching this too. It looks like a lot of fun and like Brenda said Dr. Phil has a lot of wisdom. I actually have his weightloss book, I think I'll get it out and read it again.

Oh shoot, I missed the first day too, I'll keep an eye out for it next week. Thanks for the info.

I think it was on Wednesday and Thursday. Wednesday was just meeting the 5 groups. Thursday was them going on their first "race" which was a scavenger hunt around Hollywood.

I get email from Dr Phil about the next weeks shows. Would you all like me to share when a Weight Loss Race show is coming up? Maybe if just a few folks are interested I can PM them if they would like me to remind them about the show.

Installment three of the race will be broadcast this Wednesday October 1. From the reminder email we have this synopsis:

Wednesday

The Ultimate Weight Loss Race, Part 3

Dr. Phil continues his biggest weight loss project to date, with six teams of two competing in a race across the country to drop pounds and inches. After the first grueling challenge in Hollywood, the teams check into the Dr. Phil House, where many surprises await. Head trainer Robert Reames explains their new personalized meal system based on Dr. Phil's Rapid Start Plan, but can the teams resist the House's plentiful snack foods? Then, after their first workout with their trainers on the beach in Malibu, Dr. Phil flies in via helicopter to review Key #2 of his 7 Keys to Weight Loss Freedom: Healing Feelings. Richard confronts his emotions over the painful loss of two loved ones for whom he hasn't properly grieved. Can his brother, Jeff, convince him how much he's loved and needed? Dr. Phil admonishes Phil and Tiffany for the negative names they call each other, and confronts Lauren about how much she criticizes her twin, Joe. Will the competitors stop medicating themselves with food and learn healthy lifestyle realignment? Join the weight loss movement, and vote for your favorite teams and trainers!

Hey did you know that Kim Lyons who stepped in as the Red trainer when Jillian left is a trainer with Dr Phil now? Why did Jillian leave anyway? I'm glad she is back but she is being tough this season so far. I felt bad for Kim that she was shoved off BL when Jillian decided to return. It's all about ratings baby. I hope Kim can help the team she is working with now.

On Dr Phil the winner of the first challenge got to pick their trainer from the group of 6 that Dr Phil recruited to help him. Of course Kim was the first one picked because the winners had seen her on BL. I am looking forward to getting to know the other trainers and the teams too.

I'll be watching. I bet CharityLynn will be too. Anybody else?
