If laziness is the problem, glue a brick to the television remote so when he is playing couch potato he is getting a little exercise. Better yet! Have your dad help you hook an exercise bike up to his video game system so he has to pedal if he wants to play.

Hey buddy...it's touching to see how you are concerned about your brother.
In the situation, you gotta feel like an army commander, and look at your brother as a marines corps soldier.
For some people its the reward that works, for certain other people it's the punishment that works. I think a commander like you should provide both the treatments to your marine.
Don't make fun of him....it's seriously make him get into inferiority complex. A guy of 12 if gets inferiority complex, his life can get screwed up. Try the following.
Wake up early in the morning, and wake him up too. Go jogging, and take him along with you. If he refuses, then you be strict with him. Remember, you gotta be tough. After jogging, make him do some push-ups, some weights, some aerobics. You will have to do these things along with him, to get him motivated. It's show and tell kinda thing.
Keep a control on his diet as much as you can. A lot of roughage,a lot of water. Only main meals, and no side courses.
If he does all these things correctly, buy him little gifts. This is his reward.
The best way to motivate guys to loose weight is to motivate them towards body building. Create a liking in him towards well toned bodies of body builders.
I m sure you can handle your brother very well. good luck.

Laughing at him is just rude. Getting laid is not the most important thing for him now either. From your question it sounds that you are not very old either. Activities are always more enjoyable with someone else. Why not do things together? You will form a closer bond with him and increase his self esteem which is more important than getting laid at this time. You never know, You might get some rewards for yourself. It won't hurt either one of you only better things can come of this.

No! Why don't you play a game like basketball or football with him instead? get him up and moving. If you make fun of him, he'll only become more depressed and may even eat more. You need to express to him your concerns instead and be as supportive as possible. He's your brother and if you love him you would treat him a you would want to be treated. Try to make his weigth loss a fun thing instead of putting him down. To do this you will need to be there with him. It's not easy to lose weight, or gain it. Be a good brother and help him out.

No, laughing at him will not work. My little sister (who is 28 now) has always been obese and I used to make fun of her for it (well, sorta still do, something like bulbous-vvhore and things like that, though its just kidding around now. Dont go getting upset fat people, she makes fun of me now just as viciously and has called me some names I was proud she was able to think of). Anyway, she has said that me making fun of her weight only added to the problem. If you want to motivate your brother, invite him to join you in whatever physical activities you enjoy and be patient with him. It wont be an imposition if you are truly concerned about him. Make sure you let him know, directly or indirectly, that you enjoy the time you are spending together.

Here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Loose weight) and you will have more engry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads)in one and protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu's even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)

No. Teasing him will not help.
Believe me. I know from personal experience.
For one thing: The kid shouldn't even get laid until his wedding night, but that's another totally different issue.
You can help him by encouraging him, or offering to play ball with him, or go for a walk, etc. He probably wants to lose weight, but doesn't have a reason.

it would be a great idea if you were to become a buddy while he trys to lose weight to encourage him. go on walks or runs with him and help him stay away from the junk foods. laughing will only discourage him and make him more depressed. there are some great starters in here on weight loss and also body building that might give him an aim later

Well laughing at him isn't going to be a confidense booster.What do you mean he has to get laid?At 12? Start off slow by asking him to go walking with you for thirty minutes a day. Then gradually increase your time. Try doing more and more exersizes with him.

Don't make fun of your little brother, it just makes him want to eat more because his big brother is making him depressed. Why wont you take him outside and some friends get together and play dodge ball or baseball, or something where he has to sweat but have fun at the same time.. But don't be mean to your little bro. You wouldn't like it if someone were to do it to you.
