How much should he weigh?

Eliminating ALL junk food is a good idea until he is at the normal weight, if you are trying different ways to get him to a healthy weight and they are not working, take him to a physician.

Dear concerned mother: I have a 7 year old brother and he only weighs 55 pounds but he is a bit skinny. An avarage 7 year old should weigh no more then 70 pounds. You should take him to the doctor to get a chelestoryl test (blood test). That weigh you will find out by the doctor how to feed him. I would definately lay off the junk food and when he asks for ice cream or something like that say no how about an apple. And putting apple on ice cream does not make it healthy. You should also take him to a therapist because once he hits grade 4 or 5 people will start to make fun of him. DON’T WORRY THE DOCTOR CAN GIVE YOU SOME BETTER TIPS. I THINK THAT IS WHAT YOU NEED TO DO…

Love Helpful

p.s becareful what you feed him if he gets much heavier his chelestoryl can get so bad he could get a clogged artery and have a heart attack

when I was 12 I was 160 pounds. It wasnt because I ate junk food or didnt play sports but simply because I overate on healthy foods. If he eats a healthy lunch than comes home and eats like 4 apples thats not helping.

sounds like someone overfeeds their children…

If he is active and not eating a lot of processed junk then you may want to have him checked for Cushing syndrome. Please do research it ad it is very rare but can be very serious.
