[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 597424, member: 2196"] I don't necessarily agree with the doctor either. She says at her height her goal weight should be 120 pounds. difficult child and I are both 5'2. When I was at my skinniest I was 125 pounds and I was a size four and even those jeans were baggy on me. I am very small boned. My ring size is a 4 if that gives you any indication how small boned I am. So maybe I could weigh 120 pounds at 5'2, but difficult child is very large boned. She has wide shoulders and large hands. Telling her to weigh 120 pounds I think is ridiculous. But this doctor is a gastroenterologist so weight isn't exactly her specialty. I personally would be happy if difficult child could get down to about 135. I don't think it's unreasonable at her height and for her bone structure. Right now she is just a few pounds away from 200 which I know is dangerous. So I am going to support her and encourage her for her health. difficult child loves fruit so I am going this weekend to stock up on a bunch of it. I think she will be able to stick with this plan better because she can have unlimited fruit and she is a bulk eater. So she will never have to go hungry. We are going to adopt a life style change to benefit all of us.
