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'

From Allison, child's age 16

Help! I can't believe I'm even writing this, but I don't know what to do. My 16 year old daughter is extremely overweight, and I don't know what to do. She had her yearly appointment today, and she weighed in at 302 pounds. I can't believe this is possible. I know she's been gaining weight for the past year, but I am flabbergasted. I knew it was going to be bad because she just looks so huge and bloated. I thought maybe I was just being overcritical but obviously not. What can I do? The last time I mentioned her weight, she ended up gaining 20 more pounds in five weeks.Her father refuses to take her out anywhere with him. I know she is bothered by this, but I can't find a way to mention it. After the doctor today, she said that she's glad that she's too big to do anything strenuous. What can I do?
