Absolutely. We were keeping my kid the correct weight all year. All of a sudden we couldn't. He is hitting that spurt and there was no way he was going to make the weight for another 3 weeks. Also, this boy has nothing to lose. I know I will hear that he needs to just make the weight. He has tried but I am not a fan of making them starve. If they can survive on fruits and vegetables the day of weigh in, I am ok with that. However, that was barely possible this last week. I am glad and so was he that he was able to move.
