My daughter is 12 years old and 140 lbs..... I need to know something that can help her lose some weight... like, 40 pounds. I am afraid she might get diabetes!
Thank you very much!

I agree with the girl above. Stock your fridge with lots of fruits and veggies and make sure she gets a lot of protein, such as chicken breast, fish, and turkey breast.
Also incorporate a lot of exercise into her diet. Maybe you can take her out for long walks to the park or something or take her hiking.
Just make sure you do not pass your insecurities on to her. Beware because in the future she might develop a eating disorder.
Hope that helps =)

OK, you should have her join atleast 2 sports. If you don't have the money work out with her, maybe take a jog, or take her to the park, if the weather is too cold take her to a local YMCA. If she doesn't feel like going anywhere or neither does she, you can five her healthy snacks, like granola bars, salad, etc; this will help her with her eating habbits, and size.

fill the fridge and pantry with organic and lowfat or fat free foods. thats a start. then maybe do an exercise workout WITH her to encourage her. Ask her if she wants a dog so she or you and her could play with it!!
also if she completely sops drinking pop altogether then she will loose alot faster.-- that is if she has already been drinking it!
