Inspired by the "The Big Challenge" series that aired in 2007 on
kids and obesity, and the Surgeon General's report that advocates
obesity is more prevalent and pervasive among Blacks and Hispanics;
King presented a pedometer challenge to her granddaughter in 2008,
who was 8 years old at the time. Notable results were observed. Her
desire for outside activities increased immensely. Attempting to
reach her daily goal of 12k steps became additive. The pedometer
was viewed more as a game, than a tracking tool. King shares
frankly concerning her and her families battle with obesity and the
associated complications of Type II diabetics, heart disease, sleep

being able to ward off Type II Diabetes thus far. In an eye opening

complications as King confesses...this book will leave you hopeful
