Hello everyone,
I'm an overweight single parent and I need help. I have 2 boys 13 and 11 who are both dangerously overweight. I've mainly ignored my boys' weight and assumed it would get better. I know I'm not a good role model being obese myself at 265 lbs and pretty short. This year has been hard on everyone and I didn't really notice that we were eating more at first. After about a month into lockdown we were pretty relaxed about things. Wasn't getting them to get dressed. Pj bottoms and no tops was pretty common, even I wasn't bothering with getting dressed. We were using skip the dishes or door dash most days. Going through a few boxes of soda a week. Again I was doing a great job at ignoring the issue. I could see the stretch marks but I figured they were old or just signs of growing up, not out. We were eating dessert every day. Ice cream, cakes, things I usually didn't buy... (view more)

My son is 16 and 270 pounds at 5'9. He had an asthma attack in the beginning in October and we went to the hospital, where he ended up weighing in at 262 pounds. I didn't know that he had gotten so big. His doctor says that he needs to at least lose 80 pounds, but I don't know where to begin! Over the past month, I have tried to get him to eat less, but he refuses to do so. He always says he is hungry and I do not want to feel hungry as that is a bad feeling.
Since paying attention I notice that he is really big. He is out of breath doing much of anything at this point, all he wants to do is sit, watch TV, play games and eat. Heading from the car to his room on the second floor he gets very out of breath and struggles to climb the stairs. Even bending over gets him red in the face.
He does eat a lot, but I don't think it is an insane amount. I work very late and usually for... (view more)

This is not my child, but it is my friends younger sister. She is really big (about 230 lbs) and I'm quite concerned when I phone her older sister, I can hear the furniture creaking in the background. Her sister came up to me today annoyed, saying that she ate a whole 10 slices of chocolate gateau on her own, her older sister and her mother only had a slice each and her dad didn't even taste it! She sat next to me in the car once, and it went so far down I almost s

My son is overweight. It is hard for me to see it as I’ve always been big (6 foot 2 and 400lbs right now) myself and to me he just looks a bit chubby, but according to his doctor he is obese and needs to lose 100+lbs, which is definitely scary to me as he is my only kid and his mom died around two years ago and I want the best for him.
He is 16, 5 foot 8 and 245lbs. Around a year ago he was around 185lbs, so he has definitely been packing on the pounds. He is very self conscious of his weight, until we were at the doctors recently I hadn’t seen him with his shirt off for over a year, and I was shocked with how big he is, I guess baggy clothes can his a belly. He is fairly active, often biking around our city, but he is not really focused on team sports and the like, so I don’t know how to really help him lose weight.

Parents, I just want to share my experience as
a dad, A year ago this weekend my son Leo passed away. He was 12 and a half and in 7th grade. He had been a slender little boy, then gained a lot of weight and was 225 pounds at age 12. During the summer of 2019, he was involved in a science explorers program at his school, and he grew about 2 inches taller and lost 20 pounds without trying. A year ago today he woke up feeling sick to his stomach and didn't eat. He threw up the soup I gave him for lunch and I took him to the pediatrician that afternoon (luckily I got an appointment).
The pediatrician examined him and told me Leo probably had a mild gastroenteritis and said with a big grin on his face "he's probably just been eating too much cookies and candy". I didn't say anthing. The doctor said it would pass in a few days. Two days later, Leo was still sick and I called the... (view more)

I just weighted my daughter and she weights 600lb. Her girlfriend who I am now legal guardian of is as big at 500 lb. I dont know what to do. My daughter hips and butt is so big she can't fit through door ways without turning sideways. Both girls help each other with basic tasks like changing clothes or putting on shoes.

Do anyone have any advice for how to stop from sneaking food or hiding thing and how to address these issue? I find food in my sons room almost every week and he say that he buys it so me and his dad shouldn't care and it starts huge fight between him and his dad so nothing gets done. Does anyone else have these types of fight with their kid?

My daughter Phoebe has gained 55 lbs in the past year. I noticed some weight gain before COVID, but since COVID the increase has become more rapid. Looking back, she was a healthy weight until she was 8, when her BMI started gradually increasing. I managed to get her on the scales yesterday and she weighs 230 lbs. She is only 5'2". I have two other daughters (one older and one younger) who have always been a healthy weight and neither me nor her father are overweight. We did investigate whether there was a medical reason for her weight gain, but everything was ruled out. As I suspected, she eats too much and exercises too little. I can't get her to move and we limit the amount of junk food in the house, but she still overeats on healthy food and it's hard to control, especially now she's a teenager. We try to talk to her about it, but she just tunes us out.

My daughter Emma has put on lots of weight recently at the start of 2020 in January she was (5,5 short for her age really) and weighed 169.4 pounds and now as of yesterday after I begged her to get on the scale she weighs 194.6 pounds! And as I work quite a lot with long hours she is in the house by herself and I come home to find the cupboards raided and all of the crisps and chocolate and cakes eaten in the house I’m worried and am not sure what I should do.

My child is only 14 years old and is 250 pounds. All she does is watch tv and eat food the other day I found food rappers under her bed in her clothes. My daughter gets out of breath a lot she struggles getting up of the floor and getting out of bed I have to help her. She has broken 4 beds jumping on then and 3 toilets sets. I told her she needs to lose weight but her bad keeps giving her food and I tell him to stop and he ain’t having non of it. I told her the other day we was going to the beach and she was wearing a bikini and she is quite big and I had to help her off the floor. She is only 14 and a size 22 and she wears clothes what a size 10 girls wear but she says she like it. I know it’s wrong but I get embarrassed I know I shouldn’t but she’s big and wearing bikinis and tank tops. I need help I try and tell her but she doesn’t listen.

My daughter has gotten really big but I always ignored how big she was getting. I did not realize how big she was until I watched her need to catch her breath after just climbing a couple stairs. Now her girlfriend lives with us permanently and she is also huge. I weighted them the other day my daughter weights over 500lb and her girlfriend weighs 425lb
