The lowdown: Two stubborn and overweight sisters aged 13 and 14 grapple with sibling rivalry as their family tries to reverse a lifetime of coddling and over-indulgence.
Their downfall: Jenessa and Elyssa fight about everything, which their parents worry is because of the low self-esteem they both have due to being overweight. Both girls are scared about their dad’s potential to have a heart attack because he is so overweight and unhealthy. This is a family in crisis. Mike and Estelle cook unhealthy meals and provide a bad example when it comes to eating. Plus, they have a hard time saying “no” to their kids. Learning to be parents instead of friends will be a major but vital challenge on this family’s road to good health.
Fitness Goal: 4km bike ride and 3km hike
