My daughter is 15. She is 186 lbs and we have a huge problem. She was doing okay on her diet. She doesn't drink any sodas or anything. But on Father's Day her and a group of friends were jumping on our trampoline into the pool. Well it was going well for about two hours. So my husband and I said we would be back around 8 because we had to pick up my son from his friends and go grocery shopping. Well about 6:30 I get a phone call from one of my daughters friends saying she is being rushed to the Emergency Room and her boyfriend is in the ambulance with her. Well I get to the hospital about 20 min later. They wouldn't let me in the ER so I talked to her friends. Well it seems she jumped into the pool and her ankle missed the pool and hit the edge of the pool. After 2 hours of waiting a doctor comes back saying she needed surgery. She broke it in six different places. Then she went into... (view more)My daughter is 15. She is 186 lbs and we have a huge problem. She was doing okay on her diet.

She broke it in six different places. Then she went into surgery for about four hours. After that she comes out. Her friends see her first then I do. She was still sleeping. I talked to the doctor, he said she won't be able to walk on her foot for 4 months. She came home this morning with her friends. I was wondering if any knows what I could feed her or help her do to loss weight before school starts. She can't walk and her crutches prevent her from doing alot to. Does anyone have any advice for me? I really need someones help. And would achohol help her gain weight. I think she drinks but I've never caught her. But a lot of her friends do and she parties with them so I really thinks she does. Please help me thanks. (view less)

My daughter is 12, and she weighs 166 lbs. I am extremely worried for my daughter, and she is always depressed after eating. It breaks my heart to see my child like this. I want her to be happy and feel good about herself! Every time I suggest exersizing, she gets angry at me and won't come out of her room for at least an hour. I'm just trying to help, but I don't want her angry and sad. Please, tell me what to do!

Since the new year my son has put on 30 pounds. It came as a bit of a shock after going to the doctors yesterday. It seems though that he doesn't care at all that he has gone from an average 130 to 160. He has outgrown all of his pants and most of his shirts. I'm trying to get him motivated but it seems like he doesn't care -- like he almost wants to gain weight. Help me before my child becomes obese!

Is it common for boys to out grow there pants in about a year? And I don't mean by height, I mean by the waist size.

I wanted input from some other parents about this. My son has always worn his pants around his belly (as opposed to under it like to let his belly hang over), but he has recently put on alot more weight and the waist size needed to go around his belly as opposed to under his belly is much larger. I told him that I think he should wear his pants lower but he said it makes him look fatter if his belly hangs over his pants. How do your boys wear their pants? Any insight?

My daughter is now 12 years old, right at 5 foot and about 165lbs. She had her tonsils and adnoids taken out when she was 7, and has just piled on the weight since then. Over just the last 2 months, she has gained roughly 20lbs. She has deep deep purple stretch marks on her arms, boobs, butt, waist, legs, and back. I have had 2 children, and my stretchmarks are not as bad as hers. We monitor EVERYTHING that she eats. We control portions, we don't eat tons of junk and this poor little girl is more active in sports and dancing than anyone else I have ever seen. There is not anytime of the year or in a day where she is not doing something. She even has afterschool chores to do for at least an hour, just to keep her busy, so that she isn't wathing too much TV. She is only allowed to watch TV for 1.5 a day.

We don't play video games, or just sit around all of the time. She is always on the trampoline, on her bicycle, on her workout bike, chasing her 4 year old sister and the other neighborhood kids around, or participating in one of several sports leagues that she is signed up for. We have even enrolled her into a youth Navy program, which meets once (sometimes twice) a month, and they have PT exercises just like the regular military. The runs, situps, pushups, chinups, all of it- just not quite as long as the big guys. We are taking her for testing later this week, but we are at our witts end. What else can be done for a child that does watch what she eats, and does have a regular workout schedule? Is it possible that something bad may have happened when she had the surgery? Please, if anyone else's child has gone through the same type of surgery, and their child is overweight, please reply so that I know that it may not be our lifestyle. Thank you. (view less)

Hi! Did you know that if your child loses the weight before puberty he/she is less likely to suffer from many self-esteem problems for the rest of their life.

My son is approximately 75 pounds. He gained the majority of his weight after having his tounsils and adnoids removed. I don't keep twinkies in the house and he really isn't that big of a junk food eater. He consumes about 200 calories at breakfast and around 500 at lunch. He's become self conscious about his weight and it hurts me to see him this way and I don't like discussing it in front of him. He is the kind of child that will obsess over this as he already has some gross and fine motor skill issues that appeared once he turned 4. He could no longer run properly, had problems holding a pencil...etc. These problems did not exist prior to the surgery but there is nothing neurologically wrong with him. He has OT and Therapeutic PE and is currently in Pre First due to his motor disfunction--not his cognitive capabilities. He loves sports but gets winded and frustrated because he is very...

Our schedule is insane and it's very difficult to get exercise because we are tag team parenting. My husband is in the military and works days and I work in the evenings. I'm just really frustrated and was wondering if someone else out there has had a similar experience. (view less)

I previously wrote worried that my son was having prob. with elevated liver enzymes, well a change in diet and discipline and now his levels are NORMAL. AND he lost 1/2 pound. He doesn't like what I serve and refuses to eat. I found that if I stick to my guns and refuse to prepare him a special meal he eventually will eat what is served! He is eating alot less crap these days and playing outside alot more now that the weather is so beautiful. I am thankful for this board and the folks who offered me advice. we still have a long way to go.
