Funny you should ask--I was working on this last night. You probably 
already have these on you list, but just in case, try:

MedlinePlus: Obesity in Children
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/obesityinchildren.html

CDC: Healthy Youth
http://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/index.htm

and their Childhood Overweight page
http://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/overweight/index.htm

and statistics for individual states and cities
