I do t know what to do. My 9 year old daughter is obese. Her father and I broke up 3 years ago and she has been gaining weight ever since. Her dad says nasty things about me and gives her all the sugary and fattening treats she wants which makes me seem evil as I wasn't allowing as much. Now, I have started giving her more to eat as I know she will just sneak it otherwise. She is really fat and has recently developed a prominent waddle. I feel embarrassed when people stare at her. Her clothes are too small but I cannot afford to keep buying her new ones as she grows out of the at such a quick pace. Can anyone help me?

My daughter has always been overweight, and I've never had the heart to sit her down at tell her that she's fat. I really should have. Within the past year, Ellen has gained a little over 115 pounds...going from 342 to 466. I didn't really notice it until she came down for school one day and her clothes didn't fit. Her favorite shirt was so tight it clung to every roll on her body and showed the bottom of her big belly, and her jeans wouldn't even button, so she zip tied them shut. Not only did her clothes not fit, she began to have trouble walking. The other day we were at a mini golf place and Ellen sat down and took about 10 minutes to catch her breath. I think I'm going to take her to the weight clinic soon, I'm worried about her. She gains weight everyday. I've started weighing her and tracking the amount of food she eats. I've even resorted to measuring her growing, fat body. It's scary how gigantic Ellen is. Please if you have any advice tell me!

My daughter recently has been putting on weight at an alarming rate. I do worry about little phoebe. I always catch her in the kitchen in between meals. I think it is time for a change in diet for this whole family and cut down on buying unhealthy foods.

My son is 12 years old. He plays on the schools basketball team, soccer team, and started going to the gym a couple times a week for cardio. However, he weighs 180. He is almost 6 feet tall and already wears a size 11 shoe. The doctor has never even mentioned his weight. Even though he is active I am starting to get very concerned. Any suggestions?

My daughter is 11 and weighs 122 pounds she wants to lose weight, but it is not working, she always snacks at night. I think her legs are fine, she doesn't, but I have noticed that her stomach got a little big lately. How can she lose at least 30 pounds. (That is how much she wants to lose)

I am a grandmother of a wonderful grandson. He is trying to lose weight. I live far from him and try to help him. My daughter is so busy with the younger and older children that he tends not to get the same attention. As a midďle child result he holds alot of his feelings.( I have to also say as a baby he was pumped up with alot of steroids due to medical complications.) PLEASE is there anyone that can help him?

I have four boys, but only my youngest son has a weight problem. He is currently 4'11 and 197lbs, so not just chubby, but sadly very obese :( . He has always been this way, short and overweight, whereas his older brothers are all much taller, very into their sports and healthy weights. It breaks my heart seeing the difference between them, but other than my 18 year old son, they're not very supportive towards him or helpful in getting him to lose weight.
Anyway, Inbetween the constant battle to get him slim down, I have a question that no doctor has yet been able to answer. David (my overweight son) eats too much, but so do all his brothers too, and all the food in my house is healthy (except for a locked cupboard of goodies). He doesn't get a lot of his own money so he isn't tempted into buying junk (he agreed to this as well and gets me to save his allowance now). Anyway, even...

He doesn't get a lot of his own money so he isn't tempted into buying junk (he agreed to this as well and gets me to save his allowance now). Anyway, even with this, he doesn't lose weight! We're been seeing paediatricians and dietitians since he was five, and still he keeps ballooning up. Most plans he's put on start off with him losing a pound the first week, nothing the next and usually by the forth week he's started gaining the weight he's lost back! I lose my cool, he says it's pointless and the cycle just repeats itself. He's had bloods taken in the past and there's been no issue found with his hormones or thyroid. There is though a history of sporadic obesity on his dad's side. His father is not at all overweight, but both his mother and brother are. It makes me terrified to think that this might all be genetic, and if it is, there's nothing I can do to help him. I can't stand the thought that he's going to be so fat all his life and that he might have all kinds of health problems in the future. Does anyone else have genetic obesity in their families but they've still managed to lose weight? Sorry for the long post. (view less)

My son Theodore is overweight/obese he is currently 4"11 133. Someone of his friends who is the valedictorian at a very good prep school (did this skipping a grade) saw that our son was overweight and was pick on by other friends. He also told me that he saw that he wasn't breathing normally. So a few weeks after that my wife and I are out of town and Theo had a checkup at the doctor so we have our friends son bring him and the doctors told him and his family that he has many obesity like diseases linked to the test they did. I encourage him to go outside but the never does he just sits inside all day watching T.V and when that friend comes over a very good soccer player (2 year up on #2 team in country) ,lacrosse and basketball player is kind of getting upset that he never goes outside. I need help to fix these problem such as losing friends and the health problem!!!

I believe our daughter's eating disorder is too much for me to deal with. My daughter is having her menstral period and she is craving sweets to the tenth-degree. She rode my bike to meet a friend and came back with a half a bag of marshmallows. I saw them and threw them in the trash. She said that I owe her $2.oo, hollering that we are ruining her life!...and started shaking the trash bag to retrieve the individual pieces of marshmallows from the trash. I am at a lost for what to do anymore. Please advise.

Hi. I'm not a parent but I am a child who is overweight. I was a little skinny until I was around 8 or 9 and I gained a bit of weight and I don't know what happened. I am now trying to lose about 20-30 pounds because I am 4 feet and 10 inches (147.5 cm) and I last weighed 128 pounds and I was weighed last month. I haven't lost any weight that I can see but I also haven't done much about it. I am looking for some diets to try that aren't very extreme and or some exercises I can do. What are somethings that worked for your children? Weight is something I feel is a scary topic and I want to feel good about myself again. I want my life back and I think my health should be coming first. Thanks for listening and thank you for helping.

I just wanted to give y'all a happy update. In 2014 I wrote on here about my obese daughter becoming pregnant. At the time she was around 300 pounds and by the time the baby was born (overdue at 41 weeks) my daughter had lost 20 pounds by making a lifestyle change for the sake of her daughter. Obviously, it is hard to be pregnant at any age, but being obese, and 16 at the time…it wasn't easy. She started eating healthy foods and cut out the junk, and she started going on walks early in the pregnancy. She said she wanted to loose weight to be able to take maternity pictures and see the bump because she carried a lot of fat in the belly area. Even though she only lost around 20 pounds, it made a difference and you could see her bump and she got to take the pictures she wanted. They are very beautiful and she looks clearly pregnant not just a girl with a fat belly. Some people thought it... (view more)I just wanted to give y'all a happy update.

They are very beautiful and she looks clearly pregnant not just a girl with a fat belly. Some people thought it was wrong of me to get pictures done for her considering her age, but I was just happy that anything was motivating her to loose weight (Even if it was a baby and cute pictures for Facebook). She would have continued to loose more weight ( her doctor said all of this was ok) but since she was already out of shape and she was carrying another life, she found it hard to exercise by doing the walking she had started at the beginning of her pregnancy. It made her out of breath and it was hard for her to walk with her big pregnant belly (very different from her obese just fat belly) because it made her waddle, so she had to stop around 4 months. She even had a hard time getting around at school and had to get permission to use the elevator. If we went out shopping, it took us forever to walk around the store, but all these little things helped! She was a little discouraged because she had a hard time seeing the weight loss since her stomach and breasts were expanding, but she was always happy on the scale and that her stomach was hard and not flabby. She didn't mind eating healthy, she just rubbed her belly and remembered why she was doing it. So by the time she had the baby, she had to be induced and to this day she still says that was the hardest thing she has ever done. Having the baby naturally was a great strain on her because of her weight and this has motivated her even more to stay healthy. She is not having a child again for a looonngggg time, but now, she has continued to loose weight and teach her daughter a healthy life style. Her daughter is now a year and a half old and I am happy to say, my daughter is down to 170 pounds!!! She now shops in normal stores, is able to do everyday activities and do things with her daughter. She is by no means skinny, but it is a world of difference. She is still loosing and even her old obgyn is impressed. Now the next time she has a baby in (when she's married lol) she will fully enjoy it cause she will be healthy. This isn't me saying to tell your daughters to get pregnant even though that worked for us. It is just a happy and inspiring update to motivate y'all. (view less)
