Fox 2: Father & Son, 12, Lose Weight Together

A father and son turned to Medical Weight Loss Center for a free eight-week "Pro-Teen Plan" and were featured on Fox 2 news. Pita, hummus, lettuce and chicken, 12-year-old Detroiter Chris Chunn has come a long way. "One summer, I just found some new foods and liked them," he said. "I kept eating them, and I got heavy." The weight crept on, and the kids got cruel. "They would call me fat. They would make fun of me," said Chris Chunn. "When people would get in a fight, they'd say, 'Oh, leave him alone or he'll sit on you.'" "You're always an easy target when you're a heavy child," said Al Chunn. For dad, it was particularly painful to see his son suffer the same taunting he had endured decades earlier. Read the full story and watch the video on the Fox 2 website here.
