hey im a kid, but to help your child if she or he is overweigth do not tell him or her she is fat. because that is just mean, and i know a girl who is overweight and shes still really really pretty. but just pack them a healthier lunch to school and feed them healthier things. encourage them to take sports after school. take them swimming.

Hi Melanie, I myself am 5'4" and I weighed 201. I now weigh 150 pounds and am not through losing. I want to lose at least 25 more pounds.If I can do it I know she can. First of all,is she concerned about her size? Is she uncomfortable at the weight she is? I am asking because she is the one who has to want it, not just you. I know because my son is overweight also and sometimes I don't think he cares. Not as much as I do anyway. Let me know if she wants to lose because I can give you some tips for her and they really do work. I am trying it with my son, and he has lost 6 pounds so far. It's a start. Well, good luck!!!
