doesn't matter what age you are...you lose weight by exercising.  if the girl is already gaining weight and refuses to exercise, just sit back and watch her get fat.

Yep, enroll her in a sports activity she would enjoy.  Such as  softball, soccer, swimming, anything.  If she is just a little heavy and 10 yo, she should not be worrying about her weight.   She should be having fun.  The best thing is to be active and enjoy.  \n\nMom take your daughter for nightly walks, good bonding time. You can talk about anything under the sun.  Don't do it as a way to get your daughter to lose weight but a way for you and your daughter to build agood relationship.  If you begin this habit now, she might be willing to continue it through those rough patches.  \n\nKeep fresh fruit and veggies in the house.  Get rid of the junk food.  It helps no one, and I mean no one.  Model good eating for your daughter.  Don't force her onto her own diet but have the whole family eat healthy this summer.  \n\nMy biggest concern is yoru daughter developing that terrible habit, judging herself byher looks and how thin she is.  It is a nasty habit and extremely hard to break.  She is only 10, she does not need to worry about it.

first off she needs to want to! if she doesn't want to then you are wasting your time! \n\nSecond she needs to go see her doctor! The doctor will tell her how much weight she can lose and how fast. \n\nLosing too much weight too quick is not a good thing and can make you sick!\n\nKEEP HER AWAY FROM DIET PILLS!!!

No Such thing as a quick diet, she must limit her chocolate intake,  I am a personal trainer, I love chocolate, but I enjoy it more if I know I am not overdoing it,  it is a treat not a daily meal, if she wants to lose a couple of pounds, then start getting some exercise, tell her 2 treats a week that's it.

First I want to say.....WAY TO GO!!!\nIt's very hard to lose weight, you should be very proud of yourself!\nSometimes when a person loses weight they gain a lot of attention they never had before. Sometimes the person who loses weight gains more self-respect and pride. Sometimes when someone loses weight, their attitude and demeanor changes. Some people feel threatened when someone they know has gone through a major weight change, whether they gain or lose weight. Sounds like your friend feels threatened by the change in you, whether it is your weight or maybe your attitude has changed....maybe you are too confident and they feel less important to you.\nAnd maybe, she's just jealous of the fact that you have changed and she isn't getting the same attention as you. If that's the case, there really isn't anything you can do to make her feel better about herself.\nTalk to her about it, ask her what's bothering her. If you find out that she is envious of the new you, you have to decide whether you want to keep the friendship and work on it, or let her go her own way if there doesn't seem to be a solution.\nGood luck!

She goes to the gym 5 hours a day and has a couple of personal trainers who push her during exercises. Also, she has a personal chef who cooks low-fat, low-calorie, low-everything food. Honey, if your day would also only consist of staying healthy and making sure to eat right all day, it wouldn't be hard to lose weight like she did. Unfortunately, regular people don't have that luxury.

Are they her issues or your issues?  If it is bothering her, take her to her peds doc and ask for advice.  She isn't going to listen to you--trust me on this. I have a teenager that would listen to another 13 year old, rather than me. She will have to make some changes in her life, that you can help her with, such as choosing the right food, and exercise.  But she is going to have to be disciplined to follow through with the regimen.  Which is why I asked whose issue it is.

She more than likely will lose weight. The only problem is she will lose muscle mass first. She will become weak, but still have alot of fat on her body. She is overweight, but not by too much. At 260 lbs, she is still able to exercise and eat right. Please get her help asap! She deserves help as much as a 70 lb bulemic girl does!

Try some diet alternatives. Morning and evening walk is must and swimming is also an good alternative for excercise. Just try to involve kid into some physical exercise. Read below and do something for your kids.

I answered a question very similar to this a few days ago .... I've put part of that answer here as well ....\n\nThe first step is to talk to her (calmly) and to her teacher to see if you can figure out what is going on.  You may need to get her to talk to the school guidance counselor if her school has one.  You can't begin to fix this until you know the reason for the change, and you probably can't fix it without involving other people.\n\nObviously something has changed somewhere with your daughter's life. Children don't suddenly change drastically in their behavior and in their approach to school. Neither do children suddenly become "lazy". We need only watch kids playing or doing stuff they like to do to realize they are not lazy. \n\nSome things you might check out are whether she is being bullied at school, for example. Is she happy at school? How does she get along with her teacher? Her classmates? Has she changed schools? Has there been a change in her life at home? A separation? A new baby? Is she hanging out with a new group of friends who don't care about good grades?  In order to address this problem, you need to find the cause of it. \n\nAnother area to think about is that there is often quite a jump academically from one grade to the next, especially into high school.  Kids are expected to be much more mature in their apporach to school and learning in general as they get into high school.  She may be having a difficult time adapting to that change and to the different expectations.\n\nShe is 13 - so hormones may be beginning to take over.  Pay close attention to what she does when she is using the computer.  How much tme is she spending on line, using the telephone, watching TV, video games, etc.?  Is she getting enough rest?  Does she seem tired or disinterested?  Has there been a change in other behavior, as well as in her grades?   Has she been losing weight?  YOu need to know all this to figure out exactly what might be going on.\n\nMy gut reaction is that there is something going on that you don't know about ... what you have described is not typical, and you should get to the bottom of it and find the cause. Yes, sometimes teenagers rebel by doing things that can cause a lot of aggravation for parents, but this change in your daughter seems rather drastic. \n\nI hope some of my thoughts have helped you.  Good luck.

WHOA- that is a touchy subject for you. I personally have lost 143 lbs and fell great so I know how you feel about wanting to help others, I do it all the time. Sometimes they are thankful and sometimes they are resentful. Take it easy with her. Like you-nobody else can motivate her. SHE is the only person that can do that. One day she will see a picture, try on a pair of jeans or an old dress and make a decision that she is tired of it. In the meantime you stay on track and set the example for her both foodwise and exercise. She will eventually follow suit because on the inside the jealousy will eat her up. CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU!!!!!!! Keep up the good work!

I don't think she's fat at all!, my friend is skin and bones and thought she was fat, and she was trieng to loose weight, i kept telling her she's not and so did MANY other people, i also showed her the averge weight 4 a 13 year old online and she finally reliezed that she wasn't fat and stopped trieng to loose weight. Maybe you should do what i did and kept telling her she's not fat, try to get some of you guys friends support 2.

A girl I used to work with did the LA Weight loss thing for a while.  One bad thing is that it's really expensive, and you have to buy their food which consists of bars and some kind of drink mix.  I believe you also get to eat real food.  If you have the money and the willingness to stick with it I think it works cause she was losing weight, but then she stopped doing it cause she thought it was too hard.

The quickest way for her to lose about 200 lbs of useless fat might be to divorce you....\nWhy would you get on here and ask that? You had to know you were going to tick a lot of people off...

I like that you are concerned but not being an @ss about this..good job! Now..try and get her interested in working out with you. It doesn't have to be what you are doing...take her on walks, bike riding, hiking. Find something physical that she likes and try and get her motivated to do it more often. Exercise doesn't have to be a chore if you find something you really like. I applaud you for choosing to try and ger her involved in something that will better her health. Good luck with finding something that will work!!

First of all if your child is causing you problems while you are exercising, I suggest that you let a relative, friend, or someone you trust babysit him/her. But if that's not the case then I suggest for you to exercise daily and eat health. Think about how nice you would be looking if you do lose all that weight by summer. \n\nYOUR DIET??????????????????\nIt not nesserly means to not eat anything, but to watch what you are eating.When I say eat healthy that means try to eliminate fried, cooked food or fast food. Instead eat vegetables, fruits, grain cereal, drink water, and eat a balanced meal. Try to eliminate any other drink that is not water because most drinks them have too many carbohydrates or added sugars.\n\nExercising??????????????????\nTry to set a goal for yourself. Do aerobics, exercise videos, running, or mainly focus in your abdonimal area. \n\nTo it to impress your self and because you are a winner and not a failer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\nTry not to give up and have faith in your self. While you are exercising think about all the hard work that's going to pay off when you are in the beach in your bikini. Find ways to motivate your self. Invite some friends to go run or exercise with you.\n\nDo as follow and you will see great results. But if for any reason you don't find the results that will satisfy you, try this other alternative..........\n\nHave you heard of the Atkins Diet?????????????\nThe Atkins Diet consists of you eating as much (certain) food as you want and loosing lots of weight. Of course by exercising too. \n\nThe Plan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\nEat has much meat as you want or any food that has few carbohydrates. You should eat any kind of  meat, eggs, sugar free jello(has to be sugar-free), creamcheese, whip cream, and any kind of chesse. All these foods have few carbohyrates. The main plan is to watch out in the amount of carbohyrates you eat. Don't eat any kind of bread or food that has many carboyrates. Because if you do the diet and end up eating a lots of carboyrates the diet is not going to work and you will not lose weight. I recommend you to follow the diet strictly because it does give you great results.\nHowever if you are interested find out more about the diet in the internet\n\nRemember the best way to lose weight is by setting a plan that will help you stay focused.

What ever you do not beat her. She's going through a stage that most teenagers go through. Try to speak to her to see what is wrong with her?  But if it's just an attitude it cant be that bad.
