[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Her weight is not the issue, its the weight loss and changed eating habits.

My 13 yo also weighs 80 pounds. But that is her normal weight - she gains a little each year as she grows. [/quote]

My 14 year old [b]weights 87lbs and is 5'7[/b]".  She has always been skinny, so this is her normal.  I would worry about the emotional issues attached to the changed behaviors.[/quote]

I reported this post and requested that admin call for a police welfare check. This is <1%ile well beyond the realm of normal, into extremely dangerous. I pray this comment's numbers were a typo. [/quote]

Not a typo!  Bring on the welfare check.  I’ve taken her to the doctor every year for a well checkup since she was born.  Actually, she goes to the doctor for everything.  I’ve spoken to them about how to make her gain weight and after years the Dr said “this is just her curve. As long as she’s growing up, let’s not worry about her growing out”.  She was born a premie, so we’ve monitored this closely since birth.  Seriously, this is genetic.  Her grandmother and aunt were the same way.  She eats normally.  My husband is 6’ and weighs 140 - he eats like a horse.  My younger child is also 1% for weight, she’s short for her age so it’s less obvious.  I’ve taken her to the doctor specifically about her small size and the Dr looked at me and simply said “aww this one takes after mom.”. I’m also very petite.[/quote]
