  Ok so now he is finally down to his goal weight of 120 lbs and he is 5 foot 10 and a half and I am just so happy for him but now I'm worried if he might be a little to thin because I remember before he lost any weight when I would give him a hug I couldn't fell any of his bones but when he went to weigh himself this morning he came running to me and said he finally reached his goal weight of 120 so I gave him a big hug and it was weird because I remember when I used to hug him and how it was harder to reach around him and now when I hugged him he just so much smaller and I felt his rib cage for the first time in years so then I asked him to take his shirt off and when he did he looked so skinny because his belly was completely flat and I noticed that he had on a pair of shorts that were snug on him last year and now he had to cinch them in with an elastic belt because his other belts dont fit him anymore and he must of noticed me looking at them so he said hey mom look how lose my shorts are and as soon as he unbuckled his belt the shorts fell right off of him and so would his boxers if he wasn't holding on to them and I just stared at him and at how thin he was and I was wondering do you think he is healthy or should gain weight because I can see his rib cage and his hip bones and I dont know if that is healthy or not

  If they are not to fat but have a little extra meat on then then yes you shouldn't put them on a diet because my son was a little chubby at about 12 and he used to wear husky pants but once he hit his growth spurt he thinned out alot and now wears slim pants

  If he woulnt eat vegetables then don't give him anything else exept water and milk and eventually he will become hungry enough and will eat then that's what I did with my son and he went 4 days without any food and believe me I did start to worry because I could start to see some of his ribs but on the 4th day he came up to my and said mommy can I have some vegetables I'm starving and that's when all my hard work paid off
