Dolores Plunkett and Cora-Lei Marquez are leaders of in their tribe, the Yavapai-Apache Nation. They are watching her people succumb to obesity and diabetes and is desperate to turn around the health of herself and her family, including daughter/sister, Delight, and Cora-Lei's son, Brandon.

Cora-Lei’s husband Brian has been in Iraq with the Marines for the past year and the family have rallied round to support her and their three kids. The extended family eat together regularly, with sisters and cousins dropping in for snacks and desserts, and the family’s diet is whatever is quick and convenient, which also means unhealthy.

Six Weeks Later:
The tribe gathered to show off the new Plunkett-Marquez family. The first out was Delight, who looked thinner and happier. She lost 30 pounds and can now run around and play with her four-year-old son. She also cut her blood sugar level by 30 percent. Brandon looked totally different! He lost 52 pounds in six weeks. Dolores couldn't even work out six weeks ago. Now, her blood glucose and cholesterol levels had dropped and she lost 18 pounds. Finally, Cora-Lei came out looking beautiful — and 33 pounds lighter. She is now down six dress sizes! The Plunkett-Marquez family created a 5-week program with local trainers for their community.
