Should my mom pay my little brother to loss weight?
My little brother is 9 and is overweight. Everyone else in the family is at a healthy weight so it is kind of hard to put the whole family on a diet when only one person needs it ( There are 4 of us.Two 9yr olds, One 6yr old and one 17 yr old) . To motivate my brother my mom pays his $4 every time he goes on the treadmill. I think this is the wrong way to motivate a child to loss weight but my mom still gives him the money and he is willing to take it. He is slowly losing weight but I still think paying him to be healthy is the wrong approach. Any other ways of motivation.
i guess its a way to movtivate your brother. yes there is oher ways but im sure your mom argreed to pay him.

Fast Weight Loss, is it Good for You?
Can a person lose a great deal of weight in a short period of time and keep it off?
In this day and age, we want everything to happen fast, if not instantly, Fast Foods, Fast Service, Fast Internet, Fast Solutions to just about any problem, so why not Fast Weight Loss?
Is it possible to lose a lot of weight quickly?
Yes.
Is it a great idea?
I don’t think so.
What is it that makes us want to lose weight? For me, it is the fact that I don’t like the way I look and feel when I am overweight. What makes me look so lumpy and ugly – body fat?
So let’s look at what happens when a person loses weight very fast.
When you try to lose more than about 1kg a week, the major part of the weight lost, is made up of water and muscle and that does nothing to make you look or feel any better, actually it slows down your metabolism and we all know that a slow metabolism means that we gain weight easily.
Perhaps, you’re one of those people who really don’t eat much, but still manage to gain weight. You probably do not have a lot of muscle to begin with and a quick loss of weight means that you will lose even more (muscle) – making it easier to put on all the weight you’ve just lost, because your metabolism is even slower.
Let’s face it – more muscle does certainly look better.
So, if you need to lose weight quickly for an occasion of some sort, then go for the “quick fix”, but if you are looking for a more permanent solution, one where you will look and feel much better and keep your metabolism burning at a steady rate, then you should aim at losing weight at a much slower rate!
It certainly is easier to lose one kilogram a week than trying to lose three kilo’s a week. To start off make small changes in the way you eat, drink and exercise, this can make such a difference, like drinking more water instead of sodas, playing outside with the children, instead of watching them play (they will love that), taking the dog out for a walk, cooking a meal at home, instead of buying that fat soaked fry-up or pizza from the drive-thru. If you have to snack make popcorn and have that instead of crisps and have a handful – not a bowlful! Have fruit available instead of chocolates and sweets.
The thing is, if you don’t do something, nothing will happen, so start off slowly and soon you will be feeling fitter and more positive about being active perhaps even going for walks or joining a fun exercise program suited to you.
Losing weight slowly becomes part of your lifestyle and you will be able to follow through, not just suffer for a few weeks and go back to your old habits and in so doing pick up more weight than you lost because your metabolism has slowed even more.
