Hello everyone, I'm back again with another update on my son. Just to reply to some old comments, I started restricting video game time and making him go out to exercise but something tells me hes not actually exercising. He doesn't come back sweaty or hot, and is usually wiping away crumbs. I've asked but he wont say what he was actually doing. Hes still getting bigger, its hard for him to squeeze into the car now. Hes now opting to sit in the back so he has more room. Whenever something embarrassing happened(liking popping a button or breaking furniture), he was definitely embarrassed but never did something about his weight. My brother and my father tend to make passing comments as well about how tubby he's getting, but he doesn't seem to mind. No family history of obesity, most people seem to discourage his hefty weight. He was pretty chubby before his mom passed, but has since ballooned to an enormous size. Any suggestions on how to tackle my boy's expanding waist.

Just an update on my 2 boys. They both started school last week, Leo in 7th grade and Lane in 6th. At their physicals last week, Leo is 63" and weighs 200 and Lane is 56" and weighs 206. We were referred to the Pediatric Obesity Clinic near us because even though Leo has lost weight, he is still very heavy and Lane has just...

Hey everyone, I've been on this board a few times in the past reading about other parents' struggles with their obese children and how to manage their weight, but I think it's finally time for me to post something; my son's weight has spiraled out of control lately, and I would really appreciate all the advice you can give.
I'm writing about my son, Isaac. He's 16 years old and is 6'3" tall. He's always been a big guy (one of the tallest in his grade) but recently he's been getting pretty chubby. I just found out a few days ago at a doctor's appointment that he was already 312 pounds; just last year he was only around 260! Over the past few years, his appetite has steadily grown; nowadays, he always gets seconds for dinner and sometimes even gets thirds. I also suspect that he's been eating fast food behind my back; he has a car now so he can drive to fast food places on his own...

He's also been getting winded pretty often recently; sometimes when he walks upstairs, he breaths kinda heavily. Honestly, I'm worried about him! I've struggled with obesity all my life, and all I want is for him to live a happy and active life. School is starting soon, and he's on the football team so maybe he'll get some exercise then, but over the summer he's been doing nothing but eating, hanging out with friends, and playing video games in his bedroom. I really want to control his portions so he can lose some weight, but I really can't control what he eats outside of the house. What should I do? (view less)

Please see my previous post for more info.
My granddaughter went back to school recently. She was very excited for the open house and the school encourages the whole family to come so I went, along with my daughter, and granddaughters other grandparents. While we were there, you could see just how large my granddaughter (I’ll call her Ava) was compared to the other children. Her other grandparents approached me with their concerns. Her grandfather is very into running, and he said he tried to get Ava to run with him, but she said it hurt her stomach too much. She was winded before they even got started. When she’s with them, they also try to make her healthy meals, but she won’t eat it. We don’t know what else to do. We want her to have a good childhood without a huge belly in the way. My daughter knows this. I’m sure at her pediatric apoitmnets it has been brought up.
Does anyone have any good fun workouts for little kids? Also any good places to shop? She never gets the cute clothes because the children’s sizes aren’t usually big enough.

Just to shed some more light on my situation. My son is around 290 lbs( and getting bigger. His stomach hangs out of his clothes. Hes had some mishaps because of his weight. A button popped at dinner and he bent down once and split his pants. Hes broken some flimsy furniture before too. I have an old baggy sweatsuit that is huge. XXl sweatpants and xxl sweatshirt. He wore it all the time because it was baggy and now... its tight. His stomach hangs out of the bottom and his rear end peaks out the top. I dont know how he got so big he outgrew sweatpants but I'm so worried. I've tried just about everything to get him to lose weight but nothing seems to work. Can anyone help?

I need help. My son has gotten way too big recently. His mom passed away when he was younger and since then hes...filled out. Hes now 16 and almost 300 lbs and I dont know what to do. He eats and eats and eats, gets seconds at dinner, buys snacks after school. Hes hidden food from me before and he refuses to exercise. I try to get him to go for a jog, but he just wants to stay inside and play video games. I'm worried about what will happen if he gets any bigger. I have to buy him new clothes because he gets too fat for his old ones but still wears them around the house, so I have to see his buttcrack and fat belly every morning. He gets puffed after walking up and stairs and I think hes starting to waddle. He doesn't listen to me no matter how many times I try to restrict his food. He also has a job at pizza hut and I think that's contributing to it, as I find empty pizza boxes in his car and recycling bin constantly. I just want him to be healthy and not so big but he seems to be on the fast track to obesity.

Hi all,
I’ve written on here a few times about my daughter. When I first wrote here, it was 2014, and she was 300 pounds at age 16. Then i found out she was pregnant and things started to turn around. She lost weight, had her daughter and continued on that path. Eventually she was down to 170 pounds after my granddaughter was about a year and a half old. I was so proud. It’s amazing how many things you can do when you’re normal size. We were able to go to our first concert together( we had tried before but she couldn’t fit in the stadium seats, and she was too embarrassed to stay), we sat in booths at restaurants. We even took a trip to Disney which was filled with so many great firsts. She didn’t need two seats on the plane or a belt extender, and she was able to fit in rides with her daughter. She was thriving in high school because she was able to take the steps, participate in ... (view more)Hi all,

We were able to go to our first concert together( we had tried before but she couldn’t fit in the stadium seats, and she was too embarrassed to stay), we sat in booths at restaurants. We even took a trip to Disney which was filled with so many great firsts. She didn’t need two seats on the plane or a belt extender, and she was able to fit in rides with her daughter. She was thriving in high school because she was able to take the steps, participate in gym, and able to sit in an actual desk. Being a mom didn’t ostracize her- it really changed her for the better.
Well my daughter is now 21, and things have changed again. When she was 18 she graduated, and moved about two hours away with her daughter to attend college. She was very busy with classes, working and being a parent, so we didn’t have a chance to see each other in person until she moved home for winter break. When she came in the door I was shocked. She had gown from being slim (probably down the 145 by the time she left for school) to being chubby again. When my daughter gains weight it goes to her chest,stomach and face first. She was spilling out of her bra, so the next day we went shopping for one. She went from a C to a DD. Her jeans didn’t for at all, so she was living in leggings. She said she didn’t want new pants because she was going to loose the weight. I was a little sad that she had regressed, but she promised next semester she would turn it around.
She came home for summer, and I tried to cook healthy and be active, so I think she lost a little, but not as much as in the past. She went off again for the next semester, came home for thanksgiving, and was once a gaining ballooning in her weight. This time, it wasn’t just her, but my granddaughter too. She wasn’t the normal toddler chubby, it was more. I told her I was worried, and she brushed it off and said she could parent her own child.
Well flash forward to now. My daughter is 21 years old, has graduated college, and her daughter is in school. In her graduation pictures, the gown in straining against her body. To me she looks even bigger than she was in high school. She came over last week, and when she got out of her car I was shocked. She has three chins, her cheeks are so puffy that her eyes are little slits. Her body is just big all over. Shirt was too tight, and her belly is huge again. I asked her how much she weighed,and she just said in a short answer that it was over 300 and she didn’t want to talk about it. She said she was really happy with her life right now, and her weight doesn’t define her. My granddaughter is also very large for her size. She’s wearing a xxl in the girls section, and even some styles in that size are too tight. She’s not even 6 years old yet. I had her step on the scale (i made it a game, i don’t want her to have a complex), and she was 94 pounds. She has a big belly that she’s constantly pulling her shirt down over, and it gets in the way when she plays. She can’t run fast, and when she’s playing with dolls, she has a hard time bending over around her stomach. I took her out shopping for new clothes, and she cried in the fitting room when I buttoned the little jean shorts because they were pulled over her belly and digging in. It was the biggest size the store had. She pulled them under her tummy and liked how they fit then. She honestly looks pregnant. I’ve never seen a child like her.
When they were over, we went to my neighborhood pool,and I’m sad to say I was embarrassed. My granddaughter wore a cute one piece, but it still didn’t hide her size. My daughter wore a high waisted bikini,and I tried to talk her out of it. She had stretch marks, skin and fat hanging everywhere. Neighbors didn’t stop staring. Someone even asked if she was pregnant again, and I almost wish she was, but she’s not. I’m worried for them both. My daughter has never been this size. She’s wearing a g in her bra, a (tight) 4x in shirts, and I dont know what she’s wearing as her pants size. Anything stretchy really. My poor granddaughter has trouble breathing, walking and playing. She shouldn’t know a life where her stomach gets in the way of daily activities. She doesn’t even fit in her car seat properly anymore. I don’t know what to do or how to help. I feel like I failed them both again. (view less)

So my 14 year old has a long standing weight issue, he is 5 foot 8, so tall, but 190lbs as of January.
We try to help him eat a healthy diet, but whatever we do he insists he is still hungry. Any tips as to how to moderate his eating habits?

Sorry this is a little off topic but I need advice. My wife died 7 years ago when my sons were 5 and 3. The younger one, Lane is having a real hard time with tomorrow being Mother's Day.For the past week all Lane talks about is his mom, why did she have to die (car crash), what was she like, etc. I answer all his questions but it's never enough...

My wife actually mentioned this to me but since she was certainly still in a healthy bmi range and the fact that the last thing a teenager needs is to be less confident about their appearance we decided not too say anything more about it. I didn't think about this much through winter as she spends most times at home up in her room and wore a thick coat when out. It's probably useful to mention she had a boyfriend who we had met and they broke up around Christmas, I don't know whether this had a significant effect but it made her quite emotionally fragile which is again why I didn't say anything even though the fact she had continued to rapidly gain weight was becoming more obvious. The reason why I am writing this now is we had a family party a few days ago and when mia came out in her party dress (a rare tihng as she's a tomboy who wears sweatpants and a hoodie most of the time) I was shocked to see it truly struggling to contain what looked like a pillow of flab that hung slightly over her waistline sucking up part of the dress. She is still petite in her upper body and all of the fat gain seems to be concentrated in her lower belly and thighs which has given her an especially odd look that the dress really accentuated. I'm very conflicted because while she has definitely crossed over a line where her size is at least somewhat unhealthy she has seemed more happy and confident than she has in a while recently and i don't want to ruin that. My biggest worry however is that she will continue the trajectory she is on and come back from her first year of college 300lb, a similar thing actually happened to a relative of mine who is very large and has numerous health issues from it. I am also very confused because she has never really watched what she ate and even though she might be eating a slightly worse diet these days it boggles my mind how my once very slim daughter has almost doubled in size. Would be a big help to speak to anyone in a similar situation. (view less)

Hi all, I stumbled across this page and I writing as I am growing concerned for my 14 year old son Parker. I was always under the impression that my son was your typical active 14 year old boy as he loved to play sports, get outside and run around with his friends. I had noticed that Parker has been gaining some weight since around about last October, where I saw his stomach was then slightly pudgy and had replaced his formerly flat and toned stomach.

(view more)Hi all, I stumbled across this page and I writing as I am growing concerned for my 14 year old son Parker. I was always under the impression that my son was your typical active 14 year old boy as he loved to play sports, get outside and run around with his friends. I had noticed that Parker has been gaining some weight since around about last October, where I saw his stomach was then slightly pudgy and had replaced his formerly flat and toned stomach. Initially I wasn’t concerned as he has always been a normal weight, if not slightly underweight. I admittedly did not pay too much attention to this small gain as my older son Carson who is now 16 went through the same phase at around this age and is now as thin as a rail. However in January I started to grow more concerned as I walked in on Parker getting changed for school and see the poor wee thing struggling with his pants and his belly pushing through his shirt. At this point I had started to get concerned I made a doctors appointment and was a little bit shocked to see that my boy had gone from 13 years old 5’3 and 105 pounds in June last year to 14 years old and 5’5 136 as of January however the doctor reassured me that this was still in a normal weight range for 14 year old boy and that he would soon grow out of it. This reassured me, and up until last week I was sure that this was a puberty growth spurt, however last week Parker came to me saying that his clothes which we went up a size in January were already growing tight on him. Confused I got him on the scales and was shocked to see the numbers land on 163 pounds, my once thin active boy is now very chubby with a growing belly, some love handles and some “man boobs” as they call them. Upon reflection I noticed Parker has stopped going outside as much and wasn’t as interested in playing soccer and basketball as before. It is sad to see my little athletic boy go from running around being one of the best on the team struggling to button his pants and sit around doing nothing. I am at a loss if anyone could help me out that would be much appreciated. (view less)

Not the parent, but an Uncle here. Hello people, kinda wanted to poke in here to ask for advice.
I have to look after my Nephew for the foreseeable future, as my Brother has major amount of traveling to do for his work over the next few months.
I haven't had seen him since he had his kid.
so I was in for quite a surprise when I met Martin.
he's 11, and a normal height for his age
but hooh, boy
the weight is anything but.
I asked him to spet on a scale, which he did after some complaint of having to get up.
346 Lbs (156 KG)
I somewhat struggle to care for this kid, and I'm just expected to do so.
he's somewhat spoiled and expects me to bring the food to his room.
In the week or so he has been here already, I haven't seen him leave the room outside of bathroom visits.
And he struggles to walk that way, I had to put a few chairs along the way from the room to the bathroom.
It feels more like what caring for a kindergarten kid feels like.
do any of you guys have Helpful advice for me?

My sons' checkup with the pediatrician went well. She told me that the blood tests show normal blood sugar and cholesterol and something called an A1C test shows no evidence of prediabetes. Their blood pressures are normal. Leo is 5'1" and weighs 227 and Lane is still 4'8" but his weight is now 145. I talked with her afterwards. The need is to keep them from gaining more weight. As they get taller their weights should match their height.
