Todays a busy day fo...

Todays a busy day for me it is my daughter 14th bday she is growing up so fast but the one thing I hate is she is built just like her mom she weighes almost 200# and is only 14 I help her with what to eat but we all know how that is. ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGG.... got to run I drive a school bus and school is out early today pba day........ bye for now!!! goood morn big sis dawn it was nice visiting with you guys this weekend O M G you are looking so GOOD !!!!!!darcie

Darcie, Curves might would be a really good option...and one that the two of you could do together. She might would also do well with TOPS or Weigh****cher's since both of them include peer involvement and group support...and teens are so very peer oriented that it might would help her. Sherri

I weighed about that at 14. For me, I wish my parents had made sure there was better food in the house, no soda and junk food. I wish they would have encouraged me to get involved in exercise, too. Maybe you could try to find activities she has an interest in. That's what I'm doing now, with my horseback riding, and dancing lessons this summer. If you can afford them, some kind of private lessons, might be less intimidating. I know that's true for me. Linda Vicory

i agree with sherry curves would be good idea and it is something you can do together. start slow and make if fun for her. maybe even work out at home get some music she likes and have her corigraph(sp) moves to it that involve a workout and have her teach you the moves i know when my daughter was 14 the dances they had even then made me look like a fool and sometimes its ok to let the kids laugh at us . might give her the edge she needs to keep it up. and in the same turn one week you get one with dances from our time. it would give her yet another good laugh. i found that if you keep it fun they tend to stay more interested and keep with it more. i hope this helps vicki

Poor girl!! My little sister got into the 190's at that age. When she was 15, she quit Coca-Cola and started drinking water. She is 160 now and down in the 160's which is a really healthy weight for her at 5'7" The water also helped her with her acne!! That was a big plus and really boosted her self-esteem more than the weight loss. Hope your little girl has a happy birthday!! It's hard being 14. Kids eat so bad, and junk food is so good. Maybe she can maintain for a while and see the light in a year or two. Talking to a 14 year old about healthy choices--GOOD LUCK!!

Hey lil sis- it was great seeing you all and spending time with Karlie bug! What to do for Kort, thats a hard one! Does she really skate at the skating rink? If so, she likes that and it is exercise! I agreea about the soda, only diet or limit the amount of reg, that is how I started with Markie, but he likes diet so no big deal now!I have all of the weigh****chers points stuff if you decide to do that! Give her a HUG and tell her Aunt Dawn said HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! Love ya sis- hugz Dawn tell Andy hi too!
