Although my daughter is not really overweight, her BMI is toward the upper limit for her age and she is showing some symptoms which concern me, such as eating for emotional reasons and always wanting more sweets, etc. This book has a pretty interesting story of 3 kids who go through the Shapedown program, divided into weekly chapters. It also has very do-able goals for each week, such as limiting television, eating dinner as a family and taking a walk as a family. The family decides together what the goals are, i.e. how many nights to have a family dinner, how many hours of television. This book was all I had hoped for and more!
