How Can A Child Loose Excess Body Weight?
..my nine year old daughter has always been overweight. She didn t even loose those usual few pounds in her first few weeks of life!! She has also always had hairly legs and has a lifelong problem of leaking urine. Could this be hormone related? I have tried all sorts to help her loose weight but it dosn t seem to shift. She is very active and has brilliant stamina.
