Teens on Weight Watchers?
925086
As a mother of a 14 year old, i can answer your question.  If you are considered overweight and your doctor will write you a note, you can join weight watchers at 13.  Weight Watchers is not a diet, it is a way of life.  The program teaches you how to make good choices and portion control.  My daughter and I have both been on the program.  It really works.  The best part is, you do not have to give up anything.  You just eat smaller portions and record your points so that you are accountable for what you do eat and you can keep track. You are normally allowed around 24 points a day.  For example, if you go to subway and have a ham and cheese sub with all the veggies you like, a bag of baked lays and diet soda or water.  It is 9 points for everything. 1 cup of cereal and 1/2 cup 2% milk is around 4 pts.  In addition to recording your points, you can go to the meetings once or twice a week.  They cost abour $10.00 a week and last about an hour. My daughter and do not go to the meetings.  We just follow the plan.  She is also a teenager and feels uncomfortable, so its ok.  As long as you follow the plan, it really works.Just make sure you use all your points.  Some people try to get away wih 15 - 20 pts a day and that is not good either, because you body will start to store fat.  It is ok to do this once and awhile.  For example, it is Friday and you are going out to eat with your friends on Saturday.  You can use 19 points on Friday and that way you will have 29 points on Saturday, instead of 25. I hope I am not confusing you.  This website should really help you!  http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Meadows/6172/points.htm\nGood luck, honey!  You can do it!

No they should not.  Try googling the case of the 2 15 year olds that got fat from McDonalds and their parents sued.\n\nhttp://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,63698,00.html\n\nhttp://students.washington.edu/enema/articles/bauls/mcdonalds.htm

Correct me if I am wrong, but I dont think Weight Watchers is a calorie based diet.\n\nObviously calories do matter, but I dont think there is a related point system calories v points.

I'm not too sure of an actual age, but I do know that they are not recommended for youths.  They are still growing, and those pills can do some damage.  I also know they aren't really recommended for anyone, as it is NOT a healthy way to lose weight.

Points are determined by your weight and age. You can call a local Weight Watchers Diet Center and ask OR if you have  the Weight Watchers Points "How to begin" brochure, guidelines will be in there.

Weight Watchers works as well as you do. If you are committed to working at weight loss and willing to follow the program and keep with it, and go to the meetings, then yes it will work. My mother and aunt lost a combination of 80 pounds. I joined for a year, but wasn't as commited. While I lost 20 pounds when I followed the program and went to the meetings, when I stopped I gained it all back and then some. It really does help to have support. If you don't have anyone at home or work to give you moral support, then weight watchers is a good substitute.

Weight watchers is great. I've seen a lot of great results from friends that have gone through it. That is the only plan I would ever go with.

Weight Watchers is great because it teaches you how to eat REAL food - whether you dine out or eat at home.  I never wanted to join a weight loss program where I was stuck eating their food. Who can realistically live that way for any length of time?\n\nI have lost 20 pounds and I have 15 more to go. It doesn't come off super fast (1-2 pounds per week), but it stays off.

Keep an eye on her. Make sure she eats and don't let her leave too soon after she eats. When she says shes fat tell her she isn't. A lot of teens girls can eat and eat and not gain a pound. But just watch out.. if you notice her skipping meals or such talk to her about it. If that doesn't work, get help.

Teen smoking is down, but there is another problem and part of it stems from the kids not smoking and that is teen weight gain.  They all quit smoking and started eating.
