Paige

Age: 14
Start weight: 132 pounds
Height: 5’2”
Percentile score: 88.00
The lowdown: Paige is overweight, lonely and depressed. Her life at home is hard and full of strife, and she is desperate for things to change, and to become happy with who she is.
Her downfall: Weight and self-esteem issues have already isolated Paige, aged 14, and her sister Chelsey, aged 18, from their peers and their always-simmering anger is also alienating them from each other. Paige’s addiction to macaroni and cheese and her aversion to “green” foods pose a massive threat to any hopes of a healthy diet.  Gail, an already overwhelmed single mom, reaches the breaking point when her elderly father becomes ill, and practically refuses to help the girls in their desire to get healthy. Gail’s resistance to any kind of advice or help divides the family and alienates experts, sabotaging the family’s progress and sending the girls back to square-one.
Fitness Goal: 3.5km hike and 22m rock climb
