    Sorry I was not looking at the right child. However she still only looks a bit overweight. My 9yo is a bit overweight as well. Her ped. has told us to make sure she has healthy foods and proper portions but weight loss is not the goal. We just try to have her maintain her weight. Over the summer she has been more active and had a growth spurt and now appears thinner but we are not making her lose weight. And she does not count calories but is aware of which foods are better for her body and what will serve her better to keep her full and help her body be healthy.
