My DD 17 needs to lose some weight, roughly one stone, she does not want to go to meetings as she is too embarassed.
What do you recommend? We have done Dr Dukan but although she lost weight she did not like it. I lost my 4.5 stone on Atkins but I think she is too young for it.

Why did you think it was ok for her to do Dukan when you think she's too young for Atkins? Dukan is a far more extreme diet because you are reducing both carbs and fat to really low levels.

Why not try Weight Watchers online but not go to any meetings?

Just get her to log everything she eats and the exercise she does at www.myfitnesspal.com

It's free and what's more it EDUCATES you about the calorific nature of different foods and how much you need to move to stay healthy.
