[lilli30101968]

I am trying very hard for my 9 years old daughter to loose weight specially the belly she is very active does gynastique and cycle from time to time and I watch what she eats not on any diet she is not loosing any weight . Anybody can suggested any sport or what can I do for her to loose the belly . thanks

Summer holidays sounds like a perfect time to get more active as a family. There are lots of day camps run by the local authorities that are sport-based. How much exercise does she do currently? A hour of gym once a week will not make up for sitting around the rest of the time. Does she walk/scoot/cycle to school? What sports does she enjoy that you could plan for next term?
What is a typical day's food like now?

She does 1h gymnastic a week and walk or cycle to school . She eats at school presume healthy and at home its small portions .

So what other sports does she enjoy that you could build in to her week? Swimming? Dance? Cycling as a family at the weekend? You're supposed to aim at minimum 60 active minutes every day.

Is she eating a lot of processed food that might be high in fat and sugar? What does she have for snacks?

Why do you think that she has become overweight in the first place?

Have you spoken to your GP or HV about it? I think they generally don't try to get kids to lose weight but to maintain it whilst they grow taller, but I'm sure there are lots of sources of advice they could point you to.

What does she eat in an average day?

Unless the walk to school is a long one then that's not a lot of exercise really
