She is a very picky eater so it has been very hard to encourage her to eat healthy foods. She enjoys all of those high fat foods. What can I do to help her trim down? I have looked at the OI (my daughter's disability) page but did not really get any solid ideas. I really want to do something for her that our whole family can be involved in. She is 41" tall and weighs about 70lbs. It is really hard to know because we would need a wheelchair scale to weigh her very often. I have tried to find out what her calorie intake should be for a person her size but all of the charts are geered towards women 5' or taller.

We are now trying to get our doctor involved in a weight loss plan hopfully they will not look at me like I'm crazy, because I am really afraid that this problem will become life threatening for my daughter before to long. It has already made her afraid to be moved because she is constantly in fear of being broken. Thanks for any help you might be able to give. (view less)

My beautiful little daughter Anya aged 7 years is starting to get quite plump and although we are sensible to what she eats and try to ensure she gets plenty of exercise what can we do without giving her a complex about staying thin ?

My daughter is really getting overweight. She eats almost constantly,, nibbling on any food in sight. But when I try to talk to her about it she gets furious at me. Anybody know how to talk to your teen about being overweight? Thanks a lot.

My son eats constantly. He says he's always "starved". He's getting heavier and heavier, over 200 pounds now. I can't keep any food in the house, except stuff that is not fattening. I have to hide it or he eats it. ANybody else have this problem?
