[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 686877, member: 1550"] I went to WW and lost 50 pounds, but didnt cheat once and worked out every day. Its not as easy as just going and learning. Plenty of people go and don't lose weight because they cheat and dont work out. It is hard to lose weight and requires motivation and dedication and a strong will. Sound familiar? I dont think we can make our kids lose weight any more than we can stop them from using dtugs. If you dont have junk food in the house, big deal. She is old enough to find food elsewhere. If it were me, I'd leave it alone. The only person who can decide to eat better and move more is herself. If she cares enough, she will do something, not until. Certainly give her WW vouchers if she will go but I'd have limited expectations. Another thing...you dont want to make her care so much about her weight that she turns around and develops bulemia or anoexia, which can kill young people. Take care abd id choose my battles ;) [/QUOTE]
