For three seasons, X-Weighted followed unique and courageous individuals on their precarious weight-loss journeys. The brave participants exposed all in their daily war on fat and their brutal honesty, openness and perseverance made for compelling and inspiring viewing. In season four, X-Weighted turned its focus on a Canadian epidemic - obese families, and season five continues to focus on families desperate to improve the health and well being of their children.
As well as losing sleep about fitting in at school or their first kiss, obese kids are also worrying about diabetes, high blood pressure and depression. Each of the thirteen stand-alone episodes follows a different family in their struggle to effect positive change in their own lives and the lives of their children.
It documents the plans and pitfalls, dreams and delusions, failures and successes of these families as they go from fat to fit. Parents take responsibility for their bad choices, shut off game consoles, step away from buffets and fast food restaurants and drag their kids – kicking and screaming if necessary – into a healthy, active lifestyle. Heartbreaking, astonishing and occasionally shocking – X-Weighted: Families season five is the most compelling and inspiring season yet.
