Has anyone ever heard of or used Trim Kids? (the book not the video) My little girl is a little heavy and from what I can see this book helps to incorporate healthy eating and exercise. Actually it will help me do it for her. I don't want her to read it or even know that I think she is heavy.I remember how damaging that can be. Any feedback would be great.

Havent seen or heard of it over here.

My oldest son is a little chubby at the moment, but I have the feeling he's about to shoot up, and he's going to be a BIG boy, his dad is 6ft 3 and I think he may be going to be taller than that.

I just try to encourage lots of organised sport, both boys play basketball twice a week and Aussie Rules during the winter, they have an hour or so of sport a day during school too - either formal PE or the lunchtime heroes competition where they play footy, soccer, bombadier (dont ask me what this is) etc.

And I just dont have junk in the house.

Both kids are in extra activities. My older daughter is blessed with a metabolism that won't quit. My little one ( she is 8) tends to be chubby. She is very active but eats too much sometimes. I really hope that she grows into her weight but in case that doesn't happen I want her to at least settle the gaiing down. I don't want her to got through what I have over the years.
