Hi my parents allowed me to get big and now I am 715 pounds. I would suggest you change your whole families diet and do active healthy activities together so she can lose the weight now.

Her stomach measures 72 inches? Are you sure? That's SIX FEET AROUND. You say she weighs 211. How tall is she?

Probably the best starting point would be to click on the "Parents" icon on the front page, and read the page titled "Solving the Overweight Puzzle" which is designed specifically for parents of overweight kids. This page provides an overview of the common causes of overweight and obesity in kids, vicious circles, being a good role model, and tips to prevent children from overeating.
