[QUOTE="mum2JK&TH, post: 19939, member: 1784"] Tough call. I have the same fear for myself as your sister. At 5'9, I weigh 118 lbs and I have worried non-stop this winter as I gained 5 lbs (was 112). I am healthy and no one in my family has really had a weight issue. My daughter is 11 and pretty close to 5 ft, she weighs 73 lbs. She rides competitively and we've already been told by her doctor that she'll probably be later with her period because of it. My fear for your neice would be that her mums worries are passed on to her. Do you know if your neice sees a doctor for regular check-ups? If she does then they will be aware. If you are really worried then maybe call the school and make the worry more general that you have seen a few female athletes at their school that seem underweight and if they have anything in place to make sure that they are healthy.
