Does she excercise? She should be taking in as many calories as she burns with excersise. I would get her onto a diet that limits her fat intake and have her do some physical activity for at least one hour a day. No junk food, no fast food & cut out the dairy for at least long enough for her to loose weight. Dairy can be a problem for kids her age because of the fat and the hormones in it. You should talk to a doctor &/or a dietician. A lot of it could be her changing body, pueberty, etc, but 220lbs is pretty big and an obese child will be an obese adult with a lot of risks of heart problems, diabetes, etc. Be very strict/firm with the diet & exercise and you should follow it too so she isn't alone. Your whole family should do the same program. Don't focus on body image though, focus on her health. Girls her age tend to go to one extreme & if she focuses on how she looks she might get depressed or have an eating disorder. Check your whole family's eating habits and change them. Make sure you're eating a balanced diet. Lots of fruits & veggies, proteins with less fat, high fiber cereals or breads & lots of water. If she drinks juice get real juice not the sugary red ones. Something caused her to get this heavy. Try to make the diet & exercise fun so she doesn't hate it, and get involved in it too. Go for bikes rides together, take walks around the park, or do mall walks with her. Try to gear it to her interests. She's at a pretty difficult age so try to be understanding, don't nag, but make the healthy food she eats fun for her, maybe let her help cook it too.

First off, I would recommend visiting a doctor. Try an internist endocrinologist. Maybe she has hormonal imbalance. Evaluate your family history, do you have other "big" people in the family, that maybe could be genetics, or its some body imbalance, or simply lack of healthy foods or exercises. I'm not here to judge but you have to work harder to help your baby. Shes only 11 and weighting 220 lbs. Get her motivated. I bet she likes to play, get her to join a sport, get involved in physical activities with family and friends. Make a deal with her, such as if she could lose 1 pound a week, you could buy her something small to show her achievement. Maybe you could stop buying foods that contribute to gaining weight. Hope this helps!

I think you should tell her that she is going to get sick if she don't lose weight and also you can only feed her good stuff like vegies and someother stuff.You can also tell her that she should only eat one plate of food or one in a half.Good luck

Well I'm a teen and all though I'm at the average weight for my age, even just some "nonchalant" (so to speak) comments can really cut me deep... like when my mom or someone says "Suck in your gut!'... so I guess I'm gonna say is although I don't have any medical advice; don't let her know how desperate you might be to fix her... oh yeah: and ask her how SHE feels about her self. Hope that helped..

IF this a real question. You need to take your daughter to an Endocrinologist and get screened for endocrine problems. If that's not the problem then maybe you need to stop feeding your child so many calories. How about exercise too?

First is your daughter overweight or big boned? When I was younger my mom always told me i was overweight. However, I was just a "big" girl i was a size 14. Played Basketball and Softball and was in shape. Now I'm considered A knock-out w/a J-Lo Booty.
Your daughter may already be self-conscious of her weight and you may be adding to the pressure. There could be a couple of reasons - low self esteem or simple boredom.
your daughter may want help but is afraid to ask you. I know because I also have an overweight daughter. But because of my mom I encourage her to me in sports and not nag her about certain things. Trust me my mom took me to "special" clinics for weight loss - I'm 5'10 and I lost so much weight I looked sick.
Get her into counseling or get her involved in sports. This could be the easy awnser.

Check out what medications she is on. I bet her metabolism is messed up by some prescription drugs. Otherwise, the problem could be genetic. Are either of you obese? If so, walk together, swim together, & do whatever you can together to lose weight together. It is nearly impossible to lose weight on one's own. Also, put big mirrors up all over the house & in the cars. Nothing works better than a mirror! Fix her hair up pretty & she will want the rest of her to look pretty. Encourage her, but don't criticize her. She may have a Thyroid disorder. Take her to a doctor to see if this is the problem, or if anything else medical, like diabetes, is in the way of her losing weight.

If you are serious, you need to see a doctor and if the doctor's advise makes sense, then follow it to the letter. You need to get her a full medical check up to make sure she doesn't have any metabolic disorders. And don't forget to address her psychological health, so have her see a therapist if she has an eating disorder and to help her deal with any negative body or self image problems she has. Good luck. And remember to love her no matter what and make sure she knows that.

Accept her as she is so that she doesn't feel pressured.
Provide healthy food at home that she can always choose - like fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and such.
Listen to her, so when she asks for support in her process you can help her how she wants to be helped.

Perhaps it is not about diets but about things that are bothering her mind.
She might be stressing over issues which she is not vocalizing, meanwhile you think that she is in a perfect emotional harmony. Furthermore, she might be realizing that she is physically "different" from her other slimmer friends and this can make her even more depressed.
I suggest that you read some books on this matter and/or visit a psychiatrist.
Good Luck

You're kidding yourself if you think you've done all you can. Does she eat lunch in school? If so, start making her brown-bag it and make sure she doesn't have spending money for snacks. You can't possibly watch her every second of the day. She has to want to lose weight as much as you want her to. Offer her a non-food related reward (new clothes..trip to an amusement park) for reaching a goal that you both agree is close enough to achieve. Then keep setting new goals. Kids will respond to positive feedback. What kind of language do you use when you refer to her weight problem? Maybe you're contributing to her reluctance to lose weight by making it your problem instead of hers. Maybe she's using this to rebel against you. Get outdoors with her and walk every day and have heart-to-heart talks. I wish my mom had done that sort of thing when I was overweight as a kid. Instead, she bought me "diet" candy and cookies that tasted awful. I lost the weight on my own when I was 18 and finally decided I wanted to look better. It has to be her decision, but you can guide her to more nutritious food choices. Check out the book "Don't Eat This Book" by Morgan Spurlock. It'll open your eyes to all the hidden fat and calories in processed foods, cereals, and fast food. Good luck to you both!

In your attempt at everything have you taken her to a doctor? Maybe there's a specialist you can see who could either perscribe pills she can take or a diet camp program you can enroll her in.
You might also consder taking her to a psychologist. Maybe she has issues replacing/confusing emotions with food.
Other than that, just try watching everything she eats and don't give her money so she can buy junk food when you're not around. The imporantant thing is to get her healthy without tearing her down and making her feel like crap because then she'll just eat more. Maybe the two of you could exercixe together - maybe join a gym or go walking together?

Lock the cuboards and the fridge. And be very strict that she eat only during meal times. Prepare low calorie meals and stock the house with low calorie healthy foods. Exercise with her also. Don't let her go it alone. Get out there and exercise with her. She probably also needs medical attention. And don't ever give in to "Mommy I want McDonals." Followed by pouting. Make sure she burns more calories a day than she consumes. I know you can do it. Good Luck.
P.S. Only allow an hour of T.V. and computer a day. Don't letter sit inside and gain weight all day. Make her go out and play. Wether she goes and rides bikes or jumps on the trampoline, Or just plays with neighborhood kids. Just don't let her stay cooped up inside. You could also look at getting her enrolled in a fitness center. Alot of them have programs for kids. And if they don't, they still have pools and rock climbing walls, ect... that can be fun and a workout. Good luck I hope this helps.

Don't buy any carbohydrates. She can only eat what you buy. Cut out all carbs for a few weeks. No bread, potatoes, corn, rice, cereal, pasta, fruit, tomatoes, beans (except green beans) and peas. Lots of meat and green vegs. No fruit juice or soda in the house. Have her drink 8 glasses of water a day. Go for a walk with her every evening, it's good time together.

I'll try not to sound sarcastic. But you are the adult and you have to behave like one. You need to stop buying the wrong foods for her to eat. You need to get her moving. You need to get her to a doctor and have a full physical done on her and get her moving in the right direction. You are about 80% responsible for her current obesity. Again, You are the adult act like one. Don't give in to whining and moaning from a child, it should be glaringly obvious to You that she cannot and will not make the right choices for herself. So yet again, be the adult you are and take charge. Sell the TV, video games and the radios, then get her and yourself into a health club and go everyday. You can do this because your in charge, not her.
Good luck and remember You are in charge and You are the adult, act like a responsible one!
