Dr. Peeke reflects on her experience with the five Fit to Live participants. Shown at the right, they are (from left to right) Kela, Luis, Dennis, Christine, and Michael.
Out of hundreds who wanted to participate in my Fit to Live show, I chose these five people because it was clear from the audition videotapes that each one of them was at a pivotal time in their lives and they really wanted to change. They certainly represented a cross section of America, with a variety of careers and living situations. Most importantly, I felt that they were ready to take themselves on and do the work it was going to take to become Fit to Live.
