The best way to motivate a teenage girl to lose weight is to find activities that she may enjoy that allow her to have fun while being active. Teenagers are generally motivated to do things that interest them, kids in general. Therefore, providing her with various options, such as dancing, swimming, or bike riding, rather than just the typical treadmill routine. Also, providing a pediatric friendly and safe app that she can use to log her meals and physical activity may be helpful. Teenagers are very attached to electronic devices. Therefore, allowing her to use her smart phone to help in her weight loss journey can also be helpful.
