Answer 1

I was an over weight child myself, I weighed 200 lbs when I was 14 years old, the best way for your daughter to lose weight with out straving herself or going insane would be: As this is what I did nad I lost the weight in 2 months a whole 100 lbs.

first and formost , she must eat, so what she should be eating is.... a bowl of cereal any kind, not a huge bowl but fill it half full a normal size of cereal, and then use 2% milk as its not as fating as whole milk, and 1% is just gross lol.
She should drink at least 3 , 8 oz glasses of water before every meal,
Then after eating, she should walk every other half hour, half hour home half walk half hour home half hour walk, until lunch time, then eat lunch anything will do a sandwich and chips whatever but not huge lunch . drink 3 , 8 oz glasses of water, before she eats again, then continue the walking half hour home half hour walk etc: until supper then she should eat dinner again anything she would like but not huge a mount, drink 3, 8oz glasses of water before eating, after dinner again walk half hour home half hour etc: until bed time.... now if your daughter is a snacker which most children are this is ok, see if she can eat and likes club crackers or some other cracker type, they are low in fat and great for a snack plain nothing on it, if she doesn't like crackers find a low fat low sugar snack, that she can and will enjoy, and let her snack lightly each time, she won't feel deprived and she won't feel that she is straving either, the most important thing is drinkin lots of water before each meal and inbetween meals as water really helps lose weight if she likes Tea let her drink decaf lipton tea this also helps the fat burning process, as well, Also she can have a decaf diet pop , once or twice a day unless its a 20oz then only one a day.

Walking is the key to losing all of this weight and every half other half hour will help lose the weight and keep it off, it takes 3,500 calories to gain a pound so she has to lose at least that a day to lose one pound keep that in mind, but if you don't loose that mainly calories that is ok becasue you have to consider that the body takes soem of those calories for what it needs so don't worry about carbs or calories .... Now I know she will be in school most of the day which is fine but when she comes home have her start her walking, try to let her walk as often as she can, I walk 15 mins one way and then back 15 mins home, I lost 100 lbs in 2 months this way in the summer time, weekends will be easier for to walk more, its also a great way to think while your walking and hey walk with her, if you can cause company really helps to. Support her, and tell how good she is doing , remind her once in awhile that its working, Its not what you eat that makes you fat it how much of what you eat that does, when she is full let her stop eating , don't make her eat everything on her plate give her small protions and let her have seconds if she is not full, but make the portions smaller for each time she comes for more, as this will stop waste of food for you guys and also will help her manger herself better, eating slower to will help her as well as if she can eat real slow for 10 mins chewing each bite slowly and then swollowing she will realize that she wasn't that hungry or that she doesn't need alot of food to feel full, let eat until she is not hungry anymore, not full to the point of discomfort. is what I mean by that and you will see progress with in two weeks if not right away ...... good luck..

Answer 2

Well, I have a friend who is extremely overweight and a lot of people make fun of her. It's mean, but she just ignores it. That's what your daughter should try. If she has done this repeatedly and people still make fun of her, try talking to the school principal or school counselor. Maybe they can make the kids stop? I know kids will be kids, but its very uncalled for when they make fun of kids just because of weight. Just try telling your daughter that nobody's perfect and she's beautiful the way she is. I hope that answers your question.

Answer 3

Mom when a child is over weight its up to you to correct the problem. You teach her eating habits and the activity level lifestyle. I too have a weight problem (My Mom was a great fattening cook). I was able to teach my daughter proper habits (she is 5'2" and weighs 102). My problem remains with me and I fight it all the time. Talking back and fighting other kids only increases their taunting. Tell her to ignore them, get her started in the right direction with your doctors help. This will be with her all her life, teach her now the long term effects can be harmful (both physically and mentally).

Answer 4

Well you can't do much about the people teasing her, but you should get her to get more involved with sports and exercise more. Also try to get her to diet like eating a little bit less than usual and gradually less and less but let her keep eating a healthy amount of food. Once she starts to loose some weight the other kids should stop teasing her.

Answer 5

Get involved and get her active. Perhaps she needs to be involved in some afterschool activities. She doesn't need to beat anyone up to be respected--I do admire her determination!

First see what the exact problem is and work from there. With those afterschool (or school) activities, it will give her the opportunity to gain friends and that will give her a better outlook!

Answer 6

get her involved in something to help her lose weight by being more physically active. Try swimming or another sport...maybe dancing. Whatever she likes. Don't encourage fighting for any reason. Talk to the school's principal if she feels threatened pysically by other kids.

Answer 7

Can't do much about people..But, you could try to talk her out of getting into a fight. It doesn't gain any respect. And maybe if she's worried about her weight, perhaps she could try a sort of diet?

Answer 8

eat atleast 7 serving of veggies and fruits.... you may .
call it a houseplant but it's worth it.... papayas are a godsend

excercise 30 minutes a day... 10 minutes each time with an hour between each workout... cardio is fabulous and walking around your neighborhood is a great idea... she may even make new friends

try taking her to dance classes

Answer 9

I am a little over wieght, but no one makes fun of me. Maybe you could go with your daughter after school one day and have a talk with her teacher. In my class i have to sit infront of this REALLY over wieght boy, but i dont make fun of him, every one else does. thanks
