I have a concern re: these 8 & under kids that are over 125# - my child is one of them, and he wants to go to state - we are dieting so he can drop the weight (not fun) Today my son and I was talking to one of the other kids in his age group about state and he said he had to drop weight to go to state, and we said we are too so we are dieting, this other kid told us he takes a pill that makes him lose 9lbs. in 3 days! I am just floored by this! They are 8 years old! What are we teaching our children and what are we doing to their bodies - I am just as competitive as the next person, but I will not give my kids drugs so they can do any sport unless it is medically necessary - I won't even allow my kids to drink energy drinks!
