Question

I'm not sure how to help my overweight cousin, she's 12, and 150.1 pounds, and at a height of 5'2. I'm trying to help figure out a food and exercise plan. But i'm not sure what to do. Help? Preferably an exercise and food plan would be nice.

Answer 1

Have her write down all that she eats in a week (day by day). And make sure she includes the calories. In order to lose weight, she needs to cut 400 calories from the amount she eats daily. Walking is a really good way to lose weight. You can walk as a family as well. Usually when people are overweight, they lose weight faster than someone who isn't over weight. Also, cut out any other drinks besides water. I hope that this helped. :)

Answer 2

Well make a food chart of how much she needs and show her tell her to look over it be for she eats to make sure everything is balanced (that's what helped my friend) also just getting her to fun around the house with a friend or you like a race would be nice also as an exercise also on rainy days she could do a crunches game were she would make goals each week on a chart to see if she could beat or meat the amount of crunches she did on a daily basis btw the gym might be a fun thing to do with friends I did these things with my friend and it worked
