Hey, How is everyone doing? My boys weight is going up again. I hoped he would lose some because of Sommer but he is staying inside all the time and just doesn’t stop eating

My kids in a similar boat, he's also over 300 pounds, sweats a lot, doesn't get up much, pants and wheezes a lot from even mild exertion etc.
He's been very lethargic this summer too

Hey Lukas, I am also on Discord. What is your name on there?

Great! Let's talk on discord. My username is: howdoesthisw0rk

Yeah sure we can talk on discord or telegram or kik

I see. That is still okay. They are doing something together and that is the most important thing. They are not alone in their room.
Most of my son's friends are sweating and kind of out of breath all the time. Even though they just went upstairs to my son's room. There is also a lot of snacking going on too.
Would you like to talk about our sons somewhere else? Sometimes I feel like it's easier to talk to other parents than it is to be alone.
 
Reply from Lukas, Child's Age 17 - 08/02/24  - IP#: 217.165.96.xxx
Yeah
Yes they are all pretty much sweating and out of breath all the time
And are most of the time just sitting inside playing games together and stuff. And of course a lot of snacking

Ohh they are pretty big! But it's nice that he has bigger friends. It makes it easier and more relaxing. They probably have the same interests. At least with my son and his friends. He also has bigger friends. Do they often hang out together? Are they somehow struggling too? Like out of breath and stuff?
I don't know about the other parents. I wonder about that too. I would also like to talk to other parents. I only talk to one parent from here sometimes on discord. He has two older sons. They are also happy with their weight.
 
Reply from Lukas, Child's Age 17 - 08/01/24  - IP#: 5.195.230.xxx
Yeah I think so too
Yeah my sons friends are also bigger, some of the just a little chubby and some are also quite big
Only of of them is bigger then my boy but I don’t know for how long
Do you know how any of the other parents are doing?
Not many are active here any more?
 
Reply from Thomas, Child's Age 13 - 08/01/24  - IP#: 104.28.60.xxx
That is a lot of weight gained in that short amount of time. But it's good that he's still confident. Someone as big as our sons shouldn't be ashamed of their weight. I'm happy for my son too, he's confident with his weight. He walks around shirtless like your son. I think it has to do with his friends, he has a lot of friends who are a little heavier. What about your son's friends? Are any of them bigger?
My son also has those red stretch marks. I think it has to do with rapid weight gain.

Hey, so I had my sons at the doctor today
And he weights 340 so a 20 pounds gain in 6 weeks.
But he doesn’t seem concerned at all.
He still walks around shirtless and it seems he is confident with his body so that’s good
Even though he has a lot more of those red strechmarks all over his belly.
Does your son also have strechmarks?

I see. Covid has hit a lot of people in terms of weight gain.
Tell me about your son's new weight if you want.
I think you should not worry about it as long as they are happy and healthy.
 
Reply from Lukas, Child's Age 17 - 07/31/24  - IP#: 217.165.96.xxx
Yeah that’s right
My son was always a little bit chubby but with Covid his weight exploded
I’m having a doctors appointment with him tomorrow, the last one before he gets 18 so I’ll see how much he has gained.
Yeah as long as the are happy that’s all that matters

I understand that. It's good to want our sons to be happy, but we still worry. I know the problems your son has. For example, my son gets out of breath quickly when he goes up the stairs to his room too. He has also been eating a lot lately. Fortunately, he often goes out with his friends and does things. Even though it often involves eating. Most of his friends also weigh a little more. But they all seem happy. Still, sometimes you worry about how big he will get.
Before COVID he was slim and played field hockey. But then, of course, everything stopped and he didn't play field hockey anymore. He gained a lot of weight during and after COVID. And is still gaining weight today.
He is currently 5'8.
What about your son? Has he always been overweight and gained weight continuously or has he gained a lot of weight in a short period of time?
 
Reply from Lukas, Child's Age 17 - 07/31/24  - IP#: 5.195.230.xxx
How tall is your son?
Has he been gaining weight consistently over the years or was it like in a short time a lot of weight?
 
Reply from Lukas, Child's Age 17 - 07/31/24  - IP#: 5.195.230.xxx
Yeah quite a bit.
I don’t want to stress him about it but sometimes I think maybe he should loose some weight. But I want him to be happy and I think he is . But I see how it gets harder for him to like walkt stairs and stuff. And he is just being in bed or on the sofa most of the time and keeps eating.
I want him to be happy and if he is that’s okay for me but it is sometimes kind of scary to see how big he is getting and how he’s just laying around and getting out of breath from getting up from the sofa and walking to his room upstairs
Does your son show some of those behaviors?
Like getting up as less as possible and just eating as much as possible ?
 
Reply from Thomas, Child's Age 13 - 07/30/24  - IP#: 104.28.130.xxx
My son weighs about 300 pounds right now. He is fine with it.
Does your son seem bigger than he did six weeks ago?
 
Reply from Lukas, Child's Age 17 - 07/30/24  - IP#: 217.165.96.xxx
What’s your boys weight?
 
Reply from Lukas, Child's Age 17 - 07/30/24  - IP#: 5.195.230.xxx
Yeah that’s what I think too
The last time I had him at the doctors he was around 320
But that was six weeks ago

Hey, we're doing fine. I hope you are too. My boys weight is kind of stable, I think. Even though he does a lot of stuff with his friends that involves eating. But it's summer and he should be having fun. I don't worry about it.
If your son is happy and healthy, you should let him be in peace. Do you know how much he weighs right now?
