I encourage her to eat more and I make her big dinners but she barely eats any of it and she is looking thinner and thinner every day. She refuses to go to the hospital with me. What more can I do?

You are an adult and she is a child. You must insist that she get treatment for anorexia or bullemia which could kill her. Take away all privileges and make her go.

She is a minor so you can take her to the doctor, whether she likes it or not. You have not stated her height, but unless she is very short (ie 4'6" or so) she is likely at the point needed for anorexia diagnosis of losing 15% or more of body weight or for children still growing, refusing to maintain a healthy weight which falls at least 15% below normal. Take her to a doctor. They can commit her to hospital if need be, which they may given her low weight.

It sounds like you need to plan an intervention for the child. She is sick and needs help. It sounds like anorexia, but it could be something else. She needs to see a doctor.

she may just have really fast metabolism. I'm 20 and weigh 96 and i dont look anorexic. Best idea would be to take her to the dr. but dont just keep negative things in mind. It could be somthing as simple as that. Good luck to you both
