wow, so important.  My DH is endocrinologist and I didn't know this!  (I'm sure he does)   I sympathize, OP.  I have always been super thin, and my DD started gaining weight around age 15 also (when she first got her period, now that I think of it)   I can't say a thing to her, ever about weight.  She is athletic, and yes, alot of it is muscle.  But some of it appears to be overeating, which most (?) of America does very well.  I won't say any more, because the discussion here seems to slam on those of us who think its not great to be overweight[/quote]

does your DH treat teens or know a pediatric endocrinologist with a waiting list under a year? [/quote]

Try Pediatric Specialists of VA (PSV). We got in quickly and easily. But I admit that it is possible that they "triage" and schedule appointments for things like diabetes and other serious metabolic disorders ahead of general concerns about childhood weight issues. I am not sure. Keep in mind that any general family care doc or pediatrician can order all the blood tests needed to determine if there is an underlying endocrine issue.[/quote]
