She is only 11 y.o. Weight should not even be a matter of concern unless she is obese or on her way....do you plan healthy meals and are you conscious(sp) of high carb intakes and sweets overload???? Protein, a little carb and fruits/veggies should be at all meals. Spring is here take family walks after dinner for exercise get physically involved without the emphysis on weight so much. Do not make her self-conscious of her weight but make her aware of good health, clear skin good personal hygiene and drinking lots of water (this will help with fat build up and clear acne-free complexion and healthy intake to flush out system....but she only needs to know that it is healthy for her)....do not harp about it either (been there done that and my daughter infortunately has had her share of problems and drugs due to low self esteem....because i worried too much about her having a weight problem like i had had when i was young)get her involved in sports that she likes, like league soft ball vollyball youth football cheerleading etc etc......positive input really helps tons......good luck...girls need so much positive input and let her build a great close relation with dad too....that makes a world of difference....he must get involved with her....moms are great but a father daughter relation is awesome when it os a good one.....L.
