[quote=Anonymous]OP, again, this amount of weight gain in 2 months is normal for a 15 year old -- peak growth spurt years. Also, I suspect your child is just about to gain another half inch or so in height. My son had an eating disorder so I paid very careful attention to his height and weight gain. I noticed he'd put on about 5 pounds (always around his torso and waist) and then lose it almost overnight... but grow about one half an inch. He needed 5 pounds for each half inch! I think they burn fat to build the extra bones or muscle they need or something. You might find your child is a little taller, and lost 5 pounds, if you kept weighing him, but absent an eating disorder there's absolutely no reason to do that.[/quote]
