in a nutshell......my 13 yo grandson is moving in. he is 5' 9" and 221lbs. my wife went buy his school clothes and the pants size were 44. we both talked to him and he says he is ready to trim up. i was figuring to cut his food intake.... no pops and no sugar! and brown bread and rice. he is coming to the gym with me today, he cant come in the weight or sona area, but i will have him on the track and basketball court. and i will get his butt outside and away from the computer games. any suggestions would help.....thanks
