Sounds like: You need to keep a close eye on your daughter. As wanting to maintain a healthy weight isn't unreasonable, but that's a rather significant amount of weight to lose in a short period of time. And it really depends also on what her present height/weight are and how she is losing the weight. You may want to start by at least broaching with your daughter why the sudden weight focus.
