"Kim" - At 279 pounds, Kim (Honolulu, HI) is an up-and-coming fashion designer who doesn't feel she's taken seriously in her industry because of her weight. She hopes to go from being a behind-the-scenes seamstress to a model on the runway. Her emotional journey will be featured in the episode of "Extreme Weight Loss" airing on TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1 (10:00-11:00 p.m., ET/PT - new time period) on ABC. Fashion consultant Tim Gunn, internationally known dress designer Michael Costello and Chef Rocco DiSpirito guest star.

The hit show "Extreme Weight Loss" is a unique and riveting, docu-series about weight loss that takes viewers on the unprecedented 365-day journeys of courageous and resilient "super obese" people. Kim's full bio is posted at ABC.com.

In addition to working one-on-one with Chris and Heidi, the EWL participants will also spend the first 90 days of their weight loss journeys at the renowned University of Colorado Anschutz Health and Wellness Center in Aurora, CO. Chris and Heidi, along with CU Anschutz Health and Wellness Center Medical Director and CU School of Medicine Associate Professor Holly Wyatt, MD, will guide participants on their journeys to safely lose up to half their body weight, as well as the emotional baggage that often holds one back. The CU Anschutz Health and Wellness Center offers some of the country's most advanced research and science-based expertise, focusing on a comprehensive weight loss approach, including fitness, nutrition and wellness services.

Separately, "Extreme Weight Loss: Destination Boot Camp" - where people work with some of the top medical experts from the show, was recently launched at the CU Anschutz Health and Wellness Center, which operates the program.
