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 Sara, child's age 9

My son is very self-conscious about his weight. he is 48" and 109 lbs. He refuses to go to any swimming activities unless he can keep his shirt on. And he says he's "fat." I feel so bad about how he feels. He loves all food and I try to help him make healthy choices and to eat slower but he does end up sneaking food. Plus he is very inactive. He is not interested in sports, he's a bookworm and computer fan. He has made a New Year's resolution to lose 10 lbs. and actually began an exercise program that I do called Power 90. He is very excited but I can't help but worry about his self-esteem. I have enjoyed reading everyone's posts and would like to get in touch with others for support. Thanks.
