The lowdown: An obese, fun-loving 16-year-old girl decides to stop the wishful thinking and start setting goals to shed the weight - but can she overcome her biggest fears and reap the rewards of being brave?
Her downfall: Adrienne likes big portions and can’t say no when it comes to her favourite, unhealthy foods. Her mom, Michele, knows that she needs to stop coddling Adrienne excessively, or else Adrienne is never going to be able to take charge of her own life, or her weight. But, it’s hard to do that when Adrienne becomes resentful when she’s pushed to make a sacrifice or to try harder.  As a goal, mom and daughter together decide to take on a challenging long distance, open water lake swim which is made even more daunting by Adrienne’s lack of stamina and her overwhelming fear of fish. Can she stop the negative self-talk and face her demons in order to reach her goals and live up to her full potential?
Fitness Goal: To swim 2km across Okanagan Lake
