The lowdown: A cheeky but insecure 11-year-old boy battles his junk food fixation alongside his shy, overweight sister and his overwhelmed single mom.
His downfall: Liam says that he is motivated to make changes and lose weight, but his attitude and home situation aren’t exactly helping. He rules the roost at home, and mom gives in to his every whim with very little resistance. Because mom has poor time-management skills and little knowledge of healthy cooking, she resorts to fast food and sugary treats to feed her family. When the family show up ill-prepared for the long distance bike ride that they chose for their fitness goal, his mom is forced to choose between giving in to exhaustion or finally stepping up to set a good example for her kids. Will Liam’s mom prove to be his biggest support, or his biggest saboteur?
Fitness Goal: 44km bike ride through Skaha Lake Park
