ORIGINAL: littleone35 I should have been more clear he has lost 3 pounds i guess i am just looking to make him lose it more wuickly Your concern for him is probably warranted, but only "he" can make the choice to make the necessary changes. Your support is wonderful, but "he" needs to decide for himself to lose weight. You're wanting him to lose weight may not be enough for him right now. Losing weight "quickly" is not the way to keep it off. "Losing" weight is quite easy...it's "keeping it off" that is difficult. If you want him to lose weight, and be healthy, it might help if you both educate yourself on nutrition, and begin a fun exercise program. Don't work to get him on a "diet"...maybe work with him to make lifestyle changes. Paddling someone for not following a diet usually only creates resentment and a red bottom...it won't curtail eating, in the long run (and in spankos, it might actually prompt MORE eating ). K
