Why Is it that my daughter is 13, 4 foot 11 and wont gain any weight?? Lol Im almost jelous of her! She eats like a pig but the weight doesnt seem to stay on her! Even though she is petite I still think she could use a cuple extra pounds. Her Docter agrees too that she should weigh more for her height and age.
13 is a great age of development and you do need pounds to develope. So with out those puonds im worried she wont. Should this be somthing to be concernd about?
I just want her to be healthy.

Since her doctor agrees, maybe you could suggest a thyroid panel (TSH, t3,t4) just to be on the safe side otherwise she should be just fine. She's still growing so she may gain naturally. Have a great day.

don't worry about it my sister is skinny as a rail but if she's healthy then don't sweat it as she grows and her hormones begin to change she'll fill out a little and if she's eating like u say she is no worries enjoy the size she is now you'll probably be wishing for days like these when she gets her full figure lol :-)

well she may have a very high metabolism. I f she is like a stick like one of my friends and does not gain weight there is drinks that help people gain weight.

If she isn't bulemic or anorexic then it's probably just her metabolism, after she gets older she'll start to gain some weight, but i think it's normal

I had the EXACT SAME THING!!...ha
It has alot to do with her metaolism. If you are that concerned then take her to an endocrynologist to take some blood samples and see if she is low on growth hormones. This will show dramatic improvement. good luck! =)

HGH = human growth hormone. Kids are loaded with it. Old farts like me and you don't have any like we used to have!
