m'kay he is a 5'10, 17 yr. old male. i'll admit he used to be fit yet over the summer he slacked off & wit the help of his diet of sweets, binges, lack of exercise, occasional gluttony etc. etc. he put on around 55lbs. -sighs-
he now weighs around 217+ lbs. (he went from the 55th to the 96th percentile for his weight!) & if he keeps gaining like he has i dunno what to do. the only weird thing is 31in. jeans used to fall off of him. now i bought him a 36 or 38 in. belt & it wont even fit around him completely! he also pronounced lovehandles, back rolls, has stretch marks on his upper thighs & side of his bulging belly (that is starting to hang) he almost have moobs & i can go on & on.
so in your opinion is he fat, just right or underweight?
he's currently @ a boarding school & i'm worried to death he'll come home bigger than ever!! what shall we do??
i've expressed my concern to him but he said he'd be perfectly content with getting fatter & fatter... i'm rather scared!

it's great that you love your child so much that you only want him to be healthy, happy and have the best for him. But you have to remember that m'kay has to want to lose the weight. So do your best and give him healthier foods when he's at home, and really talk to him and try and get him to understand that your concerned about his health and that it could cause type two diabetes and other health related issues, but don't hark on him too much. That will make the situation worse for both you and your son.
give him some stats on health related, obesity issues-guys like stats.

ok in the beginning, supply up capitalising the 1st letter of each be conscious. that's no longer the variety you write in English. I had the comparable subject while i grew to become into in rowing education. i might do weight with greater suitable men, yet as quickly as we went working or rowing mutually any weight I gained may well be burnt off without postpone away. in case you have an fairly variable (like myself) of very quickly metabolism , all you're able to do is keep in stable shape, keep doing potential exercises and wait until eventually you supply up growing to be thoroughly -- then you extremely'll have the means to %. on muscle. there is substantial scientific information to point that education no longer trouble-free in one's adolescents and teen years ends up in greater effective wellbeing, endurance and bigger means for potential in later existence, so do no longer supply upi now in simple terms because of the fact you do no longer appear as if a physique builder. keep at it. in fact, take in rowing. At 108 lbs you're an incredible cox ;)

Expressing concern is a start but if you love your child you must protect him. It's not easy but if he is a minor it is only the parents who are to blame for allowing a child to develop uncontrolled eating habits. The truth sometimes hurts.

Why do you jeep asking this question over and over?
Your life must be very sad. Pathetic would probably be an improvement. Go eat a Twinkie.

Good answer Angie, I'm no expert but he sounds like he is about 25lbs overweight. I think you better start coaching him about what can and does happen to overweight people.
