After any weight loss, the body has to have time to recover. Over the next year, his body will adjust and the skin will tighten on it's own. There is nothing to "fix".
Reply:there is not much you can do. over time his body adjusts to the skin and it will tighten
Reply:Is he losing the weight through diet alone? Add strength training to his routine. He should be getting cardio already, but if he isn't, do that too.
Reply:The good thing is that he will get taller and stretch the skin.


You can't fix it but growing and exercise will.
Reply:Elena, honey, who is this more important to--you, or your son? You've posted question after question--are you looking for some right answer? Next time you ask, and I'm assuming you will, will you please tell us how tall he is? We can't tell how overweight he is just by his weight...





Like I said before, I don't believe in putting pudgy kids on diets until they are done growing. But I have no problem exercising them thoroughly. Join a gym. Start him working out. His weight won't go down, but his shape will look a whole lot better.
