Dance Your Ass Off

It takes a lot to get me excited about a television show.

Wait, actually, I take that back, judging by the fact that I've been excited by some of the most terrible television shows to make it to primetime.

But I am EXTREMELY excited about a new show on Oxygen called Dance Your Ass Off.

The Oxygen Network is a buried little secret amongst the big, bad tv channels, but if you watch it at the right time, you may just find a treasure like this show. Essentially, it is Dancing with the Stars with a group of overweight contestants.

In the first episode, you were able to meet all the contestants, who come from assorted backgrounds and ages. There are both men and women and each "fat person" gets a professional dance instructor/partner to dance with on the show. All of the contestants live together in their own lofts and meet with personal trainers, nutritionists and doctors. At the end of each episode, the contestant performs for a live audience and judges. The judges then give them a score, before they are weighed. The percentage of weight lost that week, coupled with their dance score provides them an overall score, of which the lowest scoring contestant is eliminated each week.

The majority of the contestants weigh in the 200-lb. range, though a couple of them weight a little bit less. Karla weighs less than me and Angela weighs pretty close to what I weigh, which makes me even more interested in watching their progess and keeping them as role models for my own weight loss journey.

I was telling my friend about the show and she didn't see it the way I did. She thought it was more of a "mean joke" than an interesting concept for weight loss.

In my opinion, and I think I have a fairly outgoing personality, I don't know that I would be able to go on national television with my belly out and "shake what my mama gave me," as one contestant said. I find it admireable.

What do you think?

P.S. The show is on Oxygen, Monday nights at 10 p.m.

Looking to expand the line, Bowerman began nike dunk experimenting with the concept of athletic shoes with rubber spikes. By pouring a liquid rubber compound into his wife's waffle iron, Bowerman created an innovative running-shoe sole. The company unveiled nike air max featuring the Waffle sole for athletes competing at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Eugene, Ore., in 1972. A succession of shoes, many based on the waffle outsole, followed. Some of the most famous are the Waffle Racer, Air Force One and official nike shoes. Frustrated with credit limits at local banks and a general lack of faith in his vision, Knight finds a new method of creative financing. Through the Bank of Tokyo, a trading company called Nissho Iwai introduces BRS to import letters of credit and lays a foundation for future rapid growth. With the help of dunk sb manufactures its own shoe line and the Swoosh Design trademark is created. The night before jordan shoes boxes are to be printed, Johnson dreams the company new brand name, NIKE, the Greek Goddess of victory. A soccer/football shoe is the first NIKE model to hit the retail market. A nike shox to promote the shoe becomes the first apparel item.

It's air max shoes sale never goo d news when your business adviser calls out of the blue and says, Wes, we need to talk.That's what happened to me one spring morning not long after I'd arrived at my office. I own a small air max 2010 sale agency that handles speaking engagements and literary rights for Christian entertainers, authors and leaders. I started the business in my 20s and it grew to about a dozen employees, earning me womens air max 2010 enough to provide a comfortable living for my family and to send my kids to college.That year, though, the company hit a rough patch, so I'd hired a business consultant to give me some ideas nike air max 2009 for improvement. He's the one who called that April morning.Wes, he said, your company is in more trouble than you know. We need to get together. Soon.Before I could ask what was wrong nike womens air max 2010 he told me he had already been in touch with my banker and my accountant. How about we meet at your house tonight? I stammered out air max 2009 cheap an okay and spent the rest of the day in a knot.That evening, Ken, the consultant, Ed, my banker, and Tom, my CPA, sat down in air max 95 cheap my living room. Normally they were laid-back Southern guys. Tonight they looked deadly serious. Tom pulled out some spreadsheets nike womens air max 95 and other documents. Wes, he said, do you realize how deeply your company's in debt?My eyes widened. A while back I'd transferred much air max 90 of the day-to-day running of the company to two people I trusted. One was my chief operating officer. The other was Tim, my vice nike running shoes president. Tim had joined the business eight years earlier soon after graduating college. The COO had been with me 14 years. We were a team and close friends besides. Most weeks we spent nike max air far more time with each other than we did with our families.The bottom line, Wes, said Ken, is it's pretty clear these guys are taking advantage of you. We need to do some more research, but at the very black air max 90 least you're going to have to let these guys go. Legal charges may even be in order. Dami
