"Run For Your Life" / "The Final Weigh In" - It's the seventh week of the competition, and it's time for the experts to say goodbye to the contestants as they ready to tackle the 5K race, but with the pressure at an all-time high, not everyone decides to stay on the finale episode of "My Diet Is Better Than Yours," THURSDAY, JANUARY 28 (9:00--11:00 p.m. EST).

In an interesting twist, the competitors hold the power of elimination where trainers can be sent packing if their teams do not feel that they are hitting their fitness goals. Strategies like the "cLean Momma Plan," which promotes burning calories through performing different household chores, and "The Wild Diet," which combines a high-fat diet consisting of foods primitive man would find in the actual wilderness with high-intensity workouts, give contestants' an edge in the race to reach their goal weight.

Throughout the journey, contestants will be presented specific milestone fitness challenges, designed by celebrity trainer Anna Kaiser that will test their progress along the way while learning tips and tricks to help them achieve their long-term weight loss goals.
