I have been trying to support my daughter (she's 16, 5'4") i have recently learned that she weighs 229 lbs, carrys most of her weight in her big belly. I know she is embarrassed by her weight, her brothers and sisters and her father and I are very thin, and she is always gaining more and more weight. we try to exercise, but she is so embarrassed to be working out, I can tell mostly its because her belly wobbles alot. any advice from any of you whose children have larger bellies?

Boy, tall (75 inches, 6'3", 254 pounds), active, plays baseball every fall and spring. We (the parents) encourage a healthy lifestyle but certainly do not push it down his throat, I am one or two pounds overweight (at 46) and his mom is slim so we are relatively good role models. However, the problem recently is that his brother who is 3 years younger and looks up to him a lot has picked up a lot of his eating habits and is getting a little chubby. What to do?

My daughter weighs 170 lbs at the age of 12. She is quite strong and admits that she is embarrased about her weight. I caught her standing on scales when she did not know I was looking. She does eat healthy although she does have the occasional junk food. I am concerned that she could go diabetic as both her mother and I are. Her mother has had a serious weight problem and has bariatric surgery. I think my daughter will have the same thing too one day.

I am very concerned about my 16 y.o. daughter. she always has been big, her last dr. appt weighed her at 198 pounds!(she is 5'4". I was so upset with her that she she weighed almost 200 lbs, I know I was very wrong and I apologized for that. Now, I am afraid shes has put on quite a bit more this year, but she REFUSES to go to her Doctor. her chest and her stomach are so incredibly large, I am always overhearing comments of strangers and even family ask if shes expecting a baby. I am so ashamed at myself because there are manytimes I am so humiliated, shes such a beautiful girl, its sad for me to see her holding her great big belly and eating all time. last week, we were painting the house so we all slept in the den, while she was sleeping her pj's had rolled up and I was in shock to see her lying there on her side, and she just had this enormous belly literally SPILLING out in front of her. i think she has to be 240 or maybe 250 lbs. she wont exercise because of the size of her chest, its very difficult for her. please any advice for me?

Hi! I have posted here before about my daughter. She is quite obese (last June she was 4.8 and weighted 208 pounds - but since then she has put on quite a few pounds again.) and I don't know how to help her anymore. She eats constantly and is getting bigger and bigger. She refuses to be weighted and so I don't weight her.

i have a 12 year old dd and her doctor has recommended weight watchers so im going to do this with her but i feel she needs kids her own age to help her and to cheer her on she is very sweet but just addicted to food and sometimes sneaks food without even realizing what she is doing. i have 4 girls from 14 to 5 and they are very emotional so if im dealling with one the other 3 feel left out just wanted my daughter to know that yes there are other children her age going at this to and that she is not alone
