My son is 12 and he is about 5 ft 3 in and he weighs 140, he keeps talking about LA Weight Loss, can he do it?

Answer 1

It really depends on the policy at your local LA Weigh Loss.
Most will allow a minor to join with parental consent AND with the doctor's written consent.
You really need to talk with your local LA Weight Loss dietitian AND your doctor.

Answer 2

I am a 17 year old male, 5 ft 2, and i wiegh about 110 (healthy weight), instead of going to a gym, try a slight change in lifestyle, try this:
First thing- don't change how much you eat (unless it is WAY WAY to much), start out by changing what you are eating. If it comes in a diet option, try it. If you are drinking 1% milk, try skim (or the next percentage down), avoid juice (liquid calories are way to easy to consume and hard to get rid of).

Second thing- Watch out for when you are eating these things, often times it is better to have smaller meals and snack throughout the day.

Third thing- NEVER EAT FAST FOOD. It is essentially a slow acting poison on your body and can lead to more health problems than you can think of.

Fourth thing- if you don't exercise, start out going for walks in the park or somehting, then bring it up to a light jog (once you are comfortable), then slowley bring up the intensity.

Fifth thing- Evaluate everything you put in your mouth, (i.e. avoiding higher fat meats like ribs, pork.. try fish instead or dear or chicken... then general meat rule is that the fewer legs it had as an animal, the better it is for you). Also, think about what goes into you ask yourself, "Should I be eating this?"

Sixth thing- You don't have to be doing all this 100% of the time, treat yourself, but recognize your priorities when it comes to it and don't let "treating yourself" get out of hand.

Answer 3

No. At 12 he doesn't need a weight loss company....he needs his parents to not buy him junk/fast food, sodas, candy, etc. YOU control what he eats. YOU control how much exercise he gets. Get him away from the TV and computer/video games.

He doesn't need LA Weight Loss.....he needs YOU to be responsible.

Answer 5

He needs you to turn off the TV, computer, and XBox.

He also needs to go out for sports, ANY SPORTS, at school. You pay taxes for it, take advantage.
