Before you post a reply saying that your child is overweight or that you want them to lose weight, please first check our Weight Calculator. If the calculator says that your child is healthy weight, please do not post a message saying that they are overweight or that you want them to lose weight.  This offends the kids who really are overweight.  Thanks a lot.

If you are an adult and not a parent, type your child's age as '0'

Check here if you are a teen or preteen and type your age in the Child's Age box

From Jean, child's age 12

I'm new to the site and would appreciate any suggestions on how to help my daughter. She was always underweight/thin for her age and height until she was between 8 and 9 years old. At first we just assumed it was puberty, but now we're not so sure. She has continued to put on weight at an unheathy rate. Her Doc just suggests the usual, portion control and additional exercise. We've tried just about everything we can think of, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Does anyone know of any health conditions, etc. that might be causing her rapid weight gain? I'm becoming very concerned for her health! Thanks!
