Your son might still be over weight because he is eating more calories than he is burning. Even if you are not feeding him a lot of food, he may be sneaking from school or at friends houses. I think you shouldn't get mad at him, but just get him exited about nutrition. That is what my parents did and now I lost thirteen pounds and got a bunch taller! Maybe if your son gets exited about losing weight, it will start to com off.
