My daughter is 13 years old and weight 230 pounds how can i help her loss weight!


Question: well at this stage she is so big for that age that it will only take a bit more to tip her over the edge and by tip her over the edge i am of course referring to death. this will probably be quicker and less time-consuming than to try and lose all the fat.

  • Do what you can to be an excellent role model. Never keep junk food at home, even if you yourself are skinny. I know they will eat it at school but do what you can to limit it by keeping your kitchen full of healthy food. Always have a fruit bowl around that she can help herself to anytime; otherwise, limit snacking. Cook every night instead of ordering in food from restaurants.

    Now see if you can get her moving. If she doesn't like team sports, find something that is fun like gymnastics or ice skating for her to try. When the weather is better, there's biking or walking.

    It's really hard to help an adolescent lose weight without making her feel awful about it. So try to approach it from a "I want to help" perspective as much as you can, not a judgmental perspective.

    the meals that your prepare make sure they are not processed food... healthy home made meals with veggies, protein and fruit. Give her healthy lunchs as well.
    For excersise, go for walks in the evening or take classes together ( mother daughter yogo or pilates etc)
    Do family activites together, hiking, cross country skiing, skating. Little things will make a BIG DIFFERENCE
    hope this helps :)

    Do not buy or feed her anything that is fried. That alone will make her lose weight. The best thing it will do, though, is teach her what is fried. Most people don't realize that potato chips are fried, for example. If she finds the will to control her eating in that area, that discipline will also lead to her being discriminating on what else she eats. Teach her a little discipline, it will go a long way to her being a healthier child.

    sign up to a gym and go there everyday or everyother day and take all the junk food out and put fruit and stuff. Just don't eat a big plate of food all of the time.

    I was gonna say exactly what Leah & Skatin' said. They are right on the money. Healthy eating habits & active lifestyle, BINGO!

    whatever you do, ask the doctor,
    and involve the whole family.

    First, I would take her for a check-up so she gets the direction right from the doctor. Start by not buying ANY snack foods (including sugary cereals) or soft drinks for the home. Limit television time and remove video games and tv from bedrooms. She needs to get exercise even if it's just walking.

    Don't tell she's fat or that she needs to lost weight. Nothing is more irritating that a diet cop. It will only make her resent you.

    Instead of telling her to lose weight, ask her how you can help her. Be supportive.

    As someone who has faced his own weight problems. I have found it helpful to take small exclusions from my diet - I don't drink soda, coffee, or beer anymore. Nor do I eat chips or other fried foods, but I have not given up ice-cream or chocolate, though. That way I still get to indulge a little, if I want to.

    I have also reduced my meal sizes - first by 10%, then after a few weeks, by 20%. This is much more manageable than skipping meals altogether.

    Exercising helps a lot. I'm too lazy to go the gym, and walking is too easy and too boring. I do, however, enjoy biking or swimming.

    Here are a few tips for your daughter:

    1. You MUST exercise if you want to lose weight and keep it off, so do something every day, even if it
