| Home: Deerfield Beach Joseph is just 26 years old but feels older because of his weight, tipping the scales at almost 500 pounds. He says he's tired all the time, and has tried losing weight on his own without success. With a son on the way, he wants help to be in better shape for his son, so he can be a better dad. He says he tired of being big. |
Home: Coconut Creek Karen is a single mom who cares for a 13-year-old disabled son. She has devoted most of her time to his care, sometimes forgetting about her own needs, including health and fitness. Now, as her son becomes more independent she's ready to tackle those issues, but she needed a little help.

Home: SW Miami-Dade Terrell was selected Manager of the Year, but says his weight has blocked people from seeing his worth. Both his father and grandfather are diabetics, and he sees that in his future. He says he has the heart to succeed, but needs the help he will get by taking part in this challenge. His goal: Self confidence. |
