Just wanted to say Hi. I'm struggling with weight loss and so is my thirteen year old daughter. We were in weight watcher but due to economical struggles we have not bee able to go for about 6months . We have fallin off the wagon.
Not watching what we eat or writing down not exercising etc. I have gain six pds back since and my daughter was really not losing too much. I have to get us both back on track!!! I weight around 218 and I am 5'4 . My daughter is around 288 and 5'7 we really need some friends.we has been struggling for years with eating problems. I still cook normal meals but just try to make healthy versions and have lots of fruit and veggies at home . I still do allow junk of some sorts in the house. It doesn't matter what I have here my daughter will over eat!!!! Even slim fast replacement bars she will eat two or three in a day. I'm bad because I'm not setting a good ex sample by not excising etc but even When I do she does'nt want too. I have tried dance dance revolution. exercise tapes , walking treadmill etc she will do a little maybe 10 min then stop. She Doesnt' do any thing her self . She is afraid too walk the dog or do anything without me. She doesn't have many friends, not interested in group sports , never learn to ride a bike, too heavy to balance herself. She does have a physical disability, that affects her fine and gross motor skills but not enough not to be able to exercise and loss the weight. It would help her to be able to do more without the weight. As you can see my concern is mostly for her. I have set example but she doesnt follow them. She has been to doctors her blood work is all within normal range, they have told her she could die from being morbidly obese, yes it scares her but doesnt see to motivate her at all. She will tell me she know she needs to lose weight and wants to but then doesn't do anything.We tried to win a scholarship to one of the WEllNESS fitness camps for kids, but never heard anything back and to send her without a full scholarship is almost $9,000 for 8 Weeks. So any suggestion would be greatly appreciated .
