Before you post a reply saying that your child is overweight or that you want them to lose weight, please first check our Weight Calculator. If the calculator says that your child is healthy weight, please do not post a message saying that they are overweight or that you want them to lose weight.  This offends the kids who really are overweight.  Thanks a lot.

If you are an adult and not a parent, type your child's age as '0'

Check here if you are a teen or preteen and type your age in the Child's Age box

From Allison, child's age 12

Hi everyone, my daughter who just turned 12 gained alot of weight this past year. at her check last year she weighed in at 194. this year when we went her weight is at 225!! that's 30 lbs. now i'm really starting to worry. her doctors are worryed to. she gave us a book to help us make healthier choices. it shows which cerals are better less suger. so when i went shopping this week i bought cheerios,fat free milk,fruit ,salad stuff. i'm trying to keep it as healthy as i can. we watch the serving sizes to. also now that the weather is warmer we go for walks. but what i need to know is reducing the suger, eating the right serving, and exercising, is that enough? i need to really pay attention now i don't want her to be an overweight and unhappy through her teen years or adulthood. please help! any advice would be appreciated.
