Kenny and Christy are the focus of the eleventh episode of Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition Season 4. Kenny is a 40-year-old man from Missouri who weighs 530 pounds, while Christy is a 36-year-old woman from Oklahoma who weighs 380 pounds. Both have struggled with weight issues since childhood and are now facing serious health problems.

The episode starts with trainer Chris Powell visiting Kenny in Missouri, where he lives with his wife and two children. Kenny has already lost 100 pounds on his own, but he wants to keep losing weight so he can be a better father and husband. Chris challenges Kenny to run a mile with him, but Kenny quickly becomes exhausted and has to stop. Chris is shocked by how hard it is for Kenny to even walk, let alone run.

Next, Chris travels to Oklahoma to meet Christy. She lives with her husband and three children and has lost weight before, but always ends up gaining it back. Christy is intimidated by Chris at first, but she quickly realizes he has a kind heart and genuinely wants to help her. Chris takes her to a local gym for a workout, but Christy struggles with the equipment and feels self-conscious about her weight. Chris encourages her to keep going and promises that he will be there for her every step of the way.

Back in Missouri, Chris takes Kenny to a boxing gym for a workout. Kenny is hesitant at first, but he quickly gets into it and enjoys the challenge. Chris sees a lot of potential in Kenny and thinks he could become an amazing athlete if he keeps working hard. Over the next few weeks, Chris pushes Kenny to his limits and helps him develop the mental strength he needs to keep going.

Meanwhile, Christy is struggling with her diet. She has a history of emotional eating and finds it difficult to stick to a healthy meal plan. Chris works with a therapist to help Christy deal with the emotional issues that have contributed to her weight gain. Christy also joins a support group for women with similar struggles, and the other women help her to stay motivated and inspired.

As the weeks go by, Kenny and Christy both make amazing progress. Kenny loses an astonishing 239 pounds, while Christy loses 156. They both look and feel like completely different people, and their families are overjoyed at their transformation. Chris is proud of everything they've accomplished and knows they have the tools they need to continue on their weight loss journey.

The episode ends with a celebration for Kenny and Christy. They are surrounded by friends and family, and Chris reveals their final weight loss numbers. Both are thrilled with their results and are excited to continue on their journey towards a healthier, happier life.
