weight requirement/doctor's note?

  • My daughter is 13, 5'3, and 136 lbs and she wants to lose some weight. Does she have to have a doctor's note? Also, is there a requirement weight-wise to be in the program because she technically is NOT that big. Thanks in advance!!!!!
  • If I remember correctly, you must be at least 5 pounds above your optimum weight, and have a doctors note for kiddos under 18. I'm thinking her goal would be about 115 or 120, so that works, but she would still need the note. Good luck!
  • Yes, you'd have to have a doctors note for any kids under 18 and if her own personal goal weight is above her targeted weight with what's set in the guideline charts then my leader said a doctor's note is also needed. Good luck to your daughter!
