Hello, my building’s gym. Why did we ever break up?
If you, like me, are struggling with New Year’s weight loss resolutions, ABC’s hit series “Extreme Weight Loss” is holding an open casting call between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. in our area at the Anschutz Health and Wellness Center (12348 E. Montview Blvd.) on Feb. 15.
With the rising rates of obesity in America, the show says it is extremely important for everyone to know about this opportunity to get healthy and lose weight.
“Extreme Weight Loss” documents the makeover of courageous obese people who, in 365 days, set out to safely lose half their body weight and ultimately reveal an amazing metamorphosis.
Trainer and transformation specialist Chris Powell (below) guides each of the participants through their journey. By assuring that they have the proper nutrition and exercise, Powell helps individuals whose lives have become out of control because of the weight.
In each of the two-hour episodes, the participants undergo a transformation of their bodies, but also of their lives.
Anyone who contacts me (and subscribes to this column) who is interested in auditioning, will get a front-of-the-line pass for the open call.

Even though our own Gov. John Hickenlooper and the Washington state guv Jay Inslee refused to make a Super Bowl wager, Denver’s Punch Bowl Social founder Robert Thompson and Washington’s Garage Billiards owner Alex Rosenast have pledged to donate $1,000 to their winning team’s charity of choice.
“I volunteer to send Alex a case of Orange Crush soda, win or lose,” Thompson said.
“Win or lose, I’m trying to get a dinner set up for Robert and (Seahawks cornerback) Richard Sherman,” Rosenast said.
After Sunday’s 43-8 Broncos loss to the Seagawks, a charity will be selected by the winner and the $1,000 donation will follow.
