Can anyone tell me how much a 16 year old boy, 5'9, should weigh? Also, how big should his waist be? My son weighs 180 lbs and wears size 36 pants. I know he's overweight, but I'm not sure just how much. If anyone can help I'd appreciate it.

I need help. This has more to do with being a parent then it does about my overwieght daugter. Her name is Elixa, and she is a spoiled brat. I had two girls before her, and even though I am a small, unstrong person, I was a little hard on them to cover for my husand (died shortly after my last daughters birth). Any way, after my 2 oldest joined the army, I went easy on my last daughter, and I let her slip. I dont know what happened, but she became spoiled rotten, and I wasn't able to fix her. She got what she wanted, as much as she wanted, including food. (Click here to see rest of message).

Hello, I want to talk about my very obese daughter named Sara, who is 213. She is the biggest child I have ever seen or known, and she is just getting bigger and bigger, and now she's thirty five inches around the waist. I have tried to put a diet on her, but we've only made small progress. You see, all her life she has stuffed her face with food, and only recently have I tried to stop her and put her on a diet. But I was too late..(Click here to see rest of message).

Hi Everyone! I am new here but so glad I found this site. My son is 9 and 4'9" and weighs 110, actually he weighs 107 now. I just thought I would let you know what we have been doing and hope it helps. Last week when my son finished school I decided it was time to start getting healthy and I discussed this with my son. He seemed happy to make the change so that made it easy. I never really call it a diet, just being healthy. We totally changed the way we eat. We measure out our servings, we choose light and lowfat foods. We also got some weight watchers smartones desserts so that he wouldnt have to give up having treats. He does not dink sugary beverages. He only has 1/2 cup of O.J. with his breakfast. The rest of the day he drinks water and has 3 cups of skim milk a day.

In one week he lost 3 pounds and is still happy to be following a new healthy lifestyle. This weekend we start an excersise program. I think that helping your child to be healthy and lose weight it really has to be something that the family does together and to measure your portions and servings! Hey even I lost a couple pounds! I know how hard it is for children to lose weight and tell them that they cant have certain things when other kids are allowed but we have to be strong. We are only doing what is best for our children. I wish all of you luck and success and if anyone wants me to post some samples of our mealplans I would be happy to do so. Lets keep on supporting each other for our childrens health and happiness!Heather (view less)

My son is 13 and weighs 230lbs. I dont know what to do anymore. Hes much bigger then me and has a larger clothing size(size 34 jeans). I dont know where to buy him clothes anymore. His sister works for McDonalds and brings him home two burgers, two fries and a soda and he eats it all. I cant stop it because im not home at the time. Instead of going outside he sits on the couch getting bigger and bigger. For lunch at school he dosent eats what i give him and buys pizzas and candy from the machines. Whenever hes out in public he tries to suck i his huge belly. At school he has friends but says that hes the fattest in his grade. I am actually not overweight and he wasnt like this before. Sometimes i dont think that he cares that hes fat. I dont know what to do anymore, PLEASE HELP!

I can't believe I am even considering this but I guess it is on my mind and this seems to be a very safe place to get advice from other parents who truly understand my dilemma. My daughter is 11, weighs 137 and is 4 ft 9 in. She is extremely athletic & plays a variety of sports along with cheer classes and twice weekly private tumbling. She has always been alittle bigger than other girls her age and, of course, I have always been concerned with health issues but most importantly I've been more concerned with her self esteem and overall happiness.
