THE DATELINE BRIDAL DIET CHALLENGE -- FRIDAY, JULY 22

'DATELINE NBC' PRESENTS: THE DATELINE BRIDAL DIET CHALLENGE

Five Brides. Five Diets. Will They Stay True to Their "Dateline" Vow?

NEW YORK -- New York, N.Y. � July 21, 2005 � The first Dateline Bridal Challenge kicks off this Friday, July 22 (8:00 PM/ET) with five beautiful brides-to-be trying to trim down and shape up for their wedding day, all in six months or less. They're all in their 20s and range from an accountant who has been overweight her whole life, a sales rep with a serious fast food habit, a store manager who never exercises, a nurse with the nighttime munchies, and a young mother, who for the first time in her life, is finding herself overweight. Dateline's Sara James reports.

For the challenge, each bride set a weight loss goal of 25 pounds or more, and had the following five weight loss methods to chose from � Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, South Beach, Bridal Bootcamp, or the Wedding Dress Diet. With cameras rolling, "Dateline" chronicles their ups and downs while dieting and planning for the most important day of their lives.

David Corvo is the executive producer of "Dateline NBC."
