In the current season of the hit series "Extreme Weight Loss," there will be three special companion piece editions -- "Love Can't Weight" -- in which hosts and trainers Chris and Heidi Powell help three obese couples get in shape, both physically and emotionally, for each of their weddings. The couples spend their first three months together at boot camp, and then they are unexpectedly separated for the next three months -- not able to see each other until their wedding day! "Extreme Weight Loss: Love Can't Weight" will premiere on TUESDAY, JUNE 23 (9:00-11:00 p.m., ET/PT) on the ABC Television Network. This new format will air for three consecutive weeks.

The LCW premiere episode features Tiffany & Cain (New Orleans, LA), who used to be the thin, athletic, life-of-the-party couple. During their four-year relationship, they have gained a combined 150 pounds. Cain wants to lose weight so he can find the confidence to propose, while Tiffany wants to find the confidence to say "yes." Their full bio is posted at ABC.com.

Featured as each couple's "Wedding Dream Team" are David Tutera ("David Tutera's CELEBrations" on WE tv) who will serve as wedding planner; Rocco DiSpirito ("Extreme Weight Loss" Healthy Food Coach and bestselling author of "Cook Your Butt Off!") who will cater the weddings; and "Duff" Goldman (owner of Charm City Cakes and Food Network star) who will design the wedding decadence. Additionally, soccer great Mia Hamm (two-time Women's World Cup champion + four-time Olympic Gold medal winner) will guest star in this episode.

For the LCW special companion piece editions, the format will consist of two phases: (1) participants will spend the first 90 days of boot camp at the University of Colorado Anschutz Health and Wellness Center in Aurora, CO, to hit their three month goals and learn to work better as a team; (2) they will then spend three months apart, working separately to reach their individual goal weights and learn how to exist independent from each other. 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 and weight loss management 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.

"Extreme Weight Loss: Love Can't Weight" is produced by 3 Ball Entertainment. JD Roth, Todd A. Nelson, Matt Assmus and Brant Pinvidic are the executive producers.
