Wilmington Parent Magazine’s Fit Family Challenge presented by Wilmington Health is underway! We are excited to announce the following families have been chosen to participate in the challenge. So let's learn a little about them and their motivation to take on the challenge:
Christine & Rocco Villari, children: Sophia – 7 yrs. old, Stella – 5 yrs. old
Rocco Villari has already lost 50 lbs. on his own! Now Christine would like to follow in his footsteps and lose the next 30 lbs. with him! Having 2 small children doesn’t allow much time to cook healthy meals and exercise. The Villari parents would like to set a good example for their girls, but need some guidance along the path towards living a healthy lifestyle.
Brittany Wilson, child: Autumn – 3 yrs. old
Brittany is a busy single mom that is literally on the go from morning to late afternoon. That calls for a lot of fast and processed food, and she rarely finds time to cook at home. Her goal is healthy eating habits with regular meal planning, and more exercise.
Amy & Michael Riggs, child: Mason – 5 yrs. old
The Riggs family loves to be active and try new things! However they have a bad habit of not exercising and eating unhealthy foods. They all share a love for sweets! Little Mason is active and mom would like to be more fit so she can keep up with him without being tired or out of breath. The Riggs are excited about supporting one another on this journey while they work towards a healthy lifestyle together.
Heather King, children: Ella – 8 yrs. old, Ali – 5 yrs. old, Kate – 3 yrs. old
A challenge and end goals are just what this family craves! Heather is a single mom of 3 fabulous, active little girls. She works full time and is on the road for work a lot! The constant struggle to find time to work out and cook at home has become overwhelming. This mom is looking to break out of an unhealthy routine so that her children will never struggle with their weight, as she did as a child. They are looking for small changes that can make big differences.
