Dance Your Ass Off: weight loss challenge for plus sized dancers

The premiere of Dance Your Ass Off  hits the Oxygen channel tonight at 10/9 central. The show, which combines elements of The Biggest Loser and Dancing with the Stars, features twelve full figured men and women trying to lose weight on the dance floor. The show is hosted by TONY award winning actress Marissa Jaret Winokur who is best known for her work as Tracy Turnblad in the hit Broadway musical Hairspray. With $100,000 at stake, several robust personalities, and a collective 3000 pounds to lose, the show is sure to provide some jaw dropping booty shaking entertainment.

Each contestant will be paired with a professional dance partner who will train them for their weekly stage performances - ranging from Hip Hop, to Ballroom and even Pole Dancing! Then they'll shake and rattle their rolls in front of a live studio audience and a panel of expert judges: choreographer Danny Teeson, dancer/choreographer Mayte Garcia, and dancer/actress Lisa Ann Walter."

While the dance competition promises to be entertaining, viewers will also watch these finalists learn to make diet, lifestyle and exercise changes in order to drop pounds. According to a release, "Dance Your Ass Off" has assembled a world-class team of weight loss specialists, including Dr. Robert Huizenga (NBC's "Biggest Loser"), nutrition specialist Meg Werner Moreta, R.D. and Crunch trainer Lee Wall. This team will give the contestants a chance to reach their maximum weight loss potential and undergo the ultimate lifestyle transformation."

Check out the show then check back tomorrow for a post show rap.

    Exercise and drink lots of water will always do the trick to a healthier lifestyle. I cheat a little with a couple products I found at helensdiary dot com and have been successful.

    Keep on Dancing!
