A Hobart couple that plans to wed on Sept. 4 have been chosen to participate in "Dateline NBC's Bridal Weight Loss Challenge."

Courtney Prathaftakis, 22, a Rochester native, and her fiance, Nate Sass, 23, will try to lose weight with help from a sports doctor. Her goal is to lose 50 pounds, while he will try to lose 30.

NBC correspondent Sarah James interviews the brides. NBC will air a show in late November or early December on the participants' weddings and their weight loss.

Prathaftakis and Sass both weighed in at 228 pounds at the start. They have begun working out for a couple months and have joined Weight Watchers.

This isn't too surprising since I remember reading a while back that Indiana is one of the top 5 most obese states. Good luck to the couple!
