Two women age range 20-50 who want to lose 15-20 pounds
Two diabetics
Two people age range 20-50 who want to lose 100 pounds

What about people between 40 & 50??

by Krisserin on May 5, 2009 at 9:56 AM

We've actually changed this to 20-50 for all categories. Thanks!

My thoughts exactly!! Was the 41-49 age group excluded purposely?

by dawnibrook on May 5, 2009 at 9:05 AM

I haven't seen how long the Face Off lasts. Does anyone know?

by Krisserin on May 5, 2009 at 10:19 AM

The dieters test each diet for six full weeks.

by aahlight on May 5, 2009 at 9:19 AM

Are they paying for the weight watchers?

by FreakFlag on May 5, 2009 at 9:57 PM

I'm wondering that too. I used to do it and it can get expensive.

by redlady53 on May 5, 2009 at 10:14 AM

I think the 40-50 age group is included in the 20-50.

by barbie316 on May 5, 2009 at 10:58 AM

What is the Best life diet and what are the costs involved?

by Krisserin on May 5, 2009 at 11:35 AM

You can get more info on the best life diet here:http://www.livestrong.com/article/72-smart-shopping-best-life-diet/ />
We pay for the book, the dieter will pay for the food. Thanks!

Hey. How about me? I am 70 and need to lose 28 pounds. I started to use theDaily Plate and lost 5 pounds in 6 days. Riding Scarab recumbent trike and walking and hiking a lot.

Can I still be a candidate if I'm breastfeeding?

by Krisserin on May 5, 2009 at 2:10 PM

I don't see why not?

by aedansma on May 5, 2009 at 12:56 PM

I have a video response i want to send in, but I don't seem to find the video response at the bottom right of the video - i only have resize and embed :( Can someone explain how to find the send a video response button? Thanks in advance :)

by aedansma on May 5, 2009 at 1:01 PM

had to search for the video and see it on a diff. screen but found it - so disregard :)

by Krisserin on May 5, 2009 at 2:11 PM

Alright! Just make sure you send the video response via youtube!

by Divaliscious on May 5, 2009 at 4:55 PM

I sent my video - super easy to do, thanks for all the directions and links...will check them out...(video response is lcqmusic :P)

by Krisserin on May 5, 2009 at 5:19 PM

Awesome! It's so exciting we have so many people pumped for the next DFO! I'll check it out right now.

by anpetey on May 5, 2009 at 6:22 PM

Is it possible to enter if I am only 19? I am a college freshman who managed to gain the "Freshman 15" and I'm trying to work it off!

by toxicsparky on May 6, 2009 at 6:31 PM

What if I want to loose 50 lbs. Boo! No Fair. LOL

by shil on May 6, 2009 at 11:05 PM

What does the dieter have to pay for?

by Krisserin on May 7, 2009 at 11:19 AM

All the dieter has to pay for is their food. We buy the books and pay for the WW meetings.

by jenngraney on May 8, 2009 at 12:05 PM

I sent a video response yesterday - how long does it take before it shows up? Are some of them held back? Thanks!

by Krisserin on May 8, 2009 at 4:55 PM

It should be up now, go ahead and check and let me know if it isn't.

by jenngraney on May 8, 2009 at 10:14 PM

THANKS KRISSERIN -- HAVE A GRET WEEKEND!! wow -- the opening shot -- the pic before you select the video - I look retarded... haha.

by amg_353 on May 9, 2009 at 12:15 PM

When do you find out if you have been selected? Also about breastfeeding, it is recommended you eat a certain amount of calories to provide the baby with the right amount of nutrition, diets are not recommended for nursing or pregnant women. As long as you eat health breastfeeding should help you burn calories and lose weight

by Krisserin on May 9, 2009 at 4:38 PM

That's good to know thanks! Our nutritionists will be helping us select the dieters so I'm sure they'd know what's safe and what isn't more than I would =)

We'll be notifying the participants late May.

by licarrit on May 11, 2009 at 8:23 AM

I sent in my video but now I am wondering if there was info that the selection committee needs that I might have left out? Is there anything specifically, you guys want to know about each candidate?

by jenngraney on May 18, 2009 at 10:46 AM

I was wondering why the last question wasn't answered and if there are still only 11 videos out there? where oh where is krisserin?

by Krisserin on May 18, 2009 at 11:53 AM

I'm here! I'm right here! =)

We need more people to submit video responses! We're waiting to get a substantial amount before we start reviewing them. There isn't anything specific we are looking for--just people who fit into the categories we defined that are super pumped about participating and are already active users on the site. Doe's that make sense?

by Krisserin on May 18, 2009 at 11:55 AM

Also--sometimes editors make mistakes. I know that does doesn't have an apostrophe. Please forgive =)

by jenngraney on May 18, 2009 at 12:04 PM

Makes sense..............and I am super pumped!......editors make mistakes but don't often admit them...haha......good job.

by lesliechal on May 19, 2009 at 1:03 AM

When do we find out when people have been picked? Ohhh the anticipation!!

by Krisserin on May 19, 2009 at 11:31 AM

We are starting the Face Off next month. We need more participants!

by licarrit on May 19, 2009 at 6:03 AM

I'll work the boards I am on regularly!

by Krisserin on May 19, 2009 at 11:31 AM

Thanks so much!

by Amuse-Bouche on May 26, 2009 at 10:29 AM

I need to lose one hundred pounds and am 51 years old and willing to try this........however the date today is May 26.........and I've never done a video before. I do have a digital camera and I could go through the pains to try to make a video -- but don't want to if it's too late already. I have need to lose this weight as I have hypermobility syndrome and now four joint replacements. Please Respond with advice as to if you have your over 50 year old person already ... thank you!

by starryday727 on May 27, 2009 at 5:49 AM

Do you still lose more participants? I was thinking about putting a video together but just noticed that the cutoff date has passed...can I still do it?

by starryday727 on May 27, 2009 at 5:49 AM

sorry, still *need more participants

by licarrit on May 28, 2009 at 9:01 AM

When will you let us know if we've been picked?

by Divaliscious on June 29, 2009 at 11:57 AM
