make healthy meals,drink lots of water no pop no fast food restaurants and you do not have to go to the gym just run a couple of laps around the block or through the woods or wherever you can run no powerade or gatorade just water do sit ups do any kind of exercises you can think of don't weigh yourself every day just to see if you've been losing because one day you you can lose three pounds and next day you can gain 5 usually its because of  the water one thing you must not do is don't starve yourself that's the worse thing you can do eat small amounts of food like 5 times a day like a sandwich nothing with a lot of calories its better to do this than eat three big huge filling meals that fill you up to the limit try not to do this hopefully this will do the trick remember it wont just magically appear you must exercise and work for it good luck and chew your food with like a lot of chews this will be good for digestive so you wont gain as much weight when you chew your food

it is so sad how someone can just lose themselves! she needs help and she also needs food, when your 5 ft 4 you should NOT be aiming for 95lbs, waaaaaayyyyy too light! there is NOTHING to be proud of about being under weight, too many people have lost their life's that way! poor thing, she really NEEDS to go to therapy or something, i am glad that her mother is concerned about her and she is doing the right thing, it is not your fault if she refuses to eat, she needs support and help to realize what is going on. \n\ngood luck and god bless!♥

It seems that you have more of the problem.  No one will lose weght until they are ready to lose it. So even though you have helped her (which is a great thing), if she is not mentally ready to keep her weight off, then nothing you do or nothing she does will work. It's all a mental thing.  My husband and I are overweight, he is also a diabetic. I try not to force him on anything. We work out together twice a week with a personal trainer and it has helped him out. I just try and give him the support that he needs.  That's all you need to continue to do, give her the support and maybe exercise with her to get her moving. Other than that, if she is a great wife and a great person, you are a blessed man to have her in your life. You need to look at the big picture.

I really don't see a problem with that weight. My daughter just tuned 12 last month, she is about 5'3" also and weighs 100 pounds even. She is quite thin. When she worries about "getting fat" I just have to remind her that she is still growing and needs to eat, but eat good foods and not junk because it is not really how much you eat that puts on the weight, it is what you eat.\nI have also noticed that right before she has a growth spurt in height, she gets a little, I don't know, "rounder"\nand her jeans get a little tight but a couple of weeks later they fit her again in the waist but now they are too short. If she is really worried about it then maybe you could get her to walk or go bike riding with you. I have found with my kids and siblings that they did not become worried about weight themselves, rather it was something somebody else said or did to make them worry about it in the first place.\nGood luck, I hope you come up with something to make her feel more confident.

You are right, what parent would tell their child they were fat!?\n\nDo one thing, next time you are at the doctor's office have the nurse weigh you and then ask the doctor how you compare to other healthy girls your age.  Then you will know if you are just being crazy or if you should watch what you eat.\n\nIf you should watch what you eat, then try this first:\n\nStop drinking sodas!(or pick the worst thing you do regularly, like eat french fries, or drink whole milk and stop that one thing).\n\nThen do this next:\n\nReplace your worst habit with a good habit.  Drink diet sodas (I know sometimes they taste bad, but it is better than nothing, even if it isn't quite as good as drinking a lot of H20).\n\nEasy right!  Just stop one thing and replace it with one thing.  Do it until you feel you love what you do.  It will help you to feel a bit skinnier, and successful.  You are being healthy!  Awesome.  Now, you can try another thing...like....you be creative.....always improving is what it is all about.\n\nOne last thing; if a new food or habit should come along (ie smoking) save yourself the trouble of having to quit it in the future.....don't start bad habits.  Don't start being addicted to cheesecake if you aren't already.\n\nLearn moderation while you are young, you will be so happy with yourself when you turn 30.  Haha.\n\nGood luck my friend

Dude is right. Toss out sodas, chips, cookies. Turn off TV and computer, excercise together.  Get whole grain cereal. No fast food. Even if the teen doesn't like veggies, keep offering. Mini carrots are an easy introduction to veggies.\n\nI am assuming that the teen has been seen by a doctor who has measuered height/weight etc. Try to enlist the doctor's help. Be sure that your opinion of the teen's situation is backed up medically.  Some parents become overly concerned about weight issues.\n\nIf your family needs to chage, do it as a team.  It is tough to change, but it is also very difficult to be overweight.  Show your love and support. Your job as (parent?) is to teach survival skills and lead this person into a health adulthood.

Ask her to meet for coffee, or go to Chic-fil-a and let the kids play while the two of you drink coffee and eat cheescake, that works for me, the cheescake really sells older women, make sure she is not dieting, which she will be.

Maybe you can get her a dance video or something so she gets moving without realizing it's exercise.  If you have the cash you can get her a dance game (my daughter has one) you hook up to the TV and it comes w/ a flexible dance pad and she can groove to the tunes as she earns points.

Something delicious and not to high on calories if she is one of those girls. Don't go for something slimming, she may think you are saying she is fat. Cheesecake is good so is Strawberry shortcake! Chocolate is almost always the way to go.

Well you can't be there every time she eats something, but you can help her with exercise, go for a walk, or ride or do some aerobics or something.\nJoin a sport together.\nMaybe she just needs someone to exercise with.\nIt can't hurt you either!

Don't preasure your child into gaining weight unless she's under weight. If she is 12 or older, she can do light weight workouts. Get more information on the web for proper weight technique. Be sure she eats healthy food, but a lot of it. Don't be fooled by someone who tells you that she should eat unhealthy food and get minimal exercise. That could lead to bad habits that last a lifetime.

My daughter weighed 50 pounds for about 3 years.  My wife just kept a watch on her diet and let her grow out of her problem.

You can't force her to gain weight. All you can do is encourage her to eat right and excercise and be happy with who she is on the inside.

With A Child you really want to take him to a registered dietition.Who can give you suggestions in a safe and scientific way.\n\nYou do not want to try and give him fatty sugar laden foods to gain weight because that is not good for their health in the long run!\n\nIncrease the childs overall caloric intake,make sure you give them a multi-vitamin supplement as well,give them nutritious meals full of whole grains,vegetables,fruits,protein sources like nuts,seeds,eggs,cheeses and meat,make sure the child does not have a thyroid problem and/or food allergies that can be contributing to the problem.\n\nSnacks of dried fruits,nuts and seeds are are high in calories and very nutritious.\n\ncut up apple with organic peanut butter,almond or other nut butters gives them good fats,protein and calories.\n\ncheeses and fruits would also be good provided the child is not allergic to dairy products,in that case you could do almond or other health food cheeses.\n\nwhole grain bread and organic butter is another good option,you could do whole cream cheese on top of a whole grain cracker.....\n\nGood luck!

Just support her.  Tell her that you love her and want her to get better.  She might not want to know more about her illness.\n\nGet well soon for your daughter.
