Im 28 nearly 29 and Im sick to death of people telling me i need to eat a good meat pudding!!! All my friends that know me well know i eat like a horse. I love my food and always have. Im havent got anarextia and i DONT chuck my food up afterwards. I eat normal food sometimes be it the bad stuff and sometimes the good stuff. I enjoy it all. Even my doctor/nurse tell me i should put on a few more calories but the simple term is I CANT!!!!!
Im 5 foot 6 and acording to my height and age im underweight. The MOST ive ever weighed is 8 stone and that was for about a day lol. Im now and usually between 6 n half to 7 stone. Im very active as this comes with my career. My GP said i may have an overactive Throid and a high metablosium. There are pills i can take or have an opertation but i dont want either of these.
Im healthy and very raely have any problems and hardly ever get a cold.
My arms are skinny and so too are my legs and i hate this about me. CAN ANYONE HELP ME???

I had the same problem ALL my life. I am 5.6 ft. and always weighed max. 45 kg's!
Firstly, I had my thyroid checked, and was put on Eltroxin for it. This def. helped with my weight, as it was under-active (strangely enough) Also, do you smoke??? If you do, this is a HUGE factor in weight gain. STOP smoking. I picked up 30 kg's in 3 months! OK, so I had to lose some of it again, but I now look GOOD. Smoking subdues your appetite.
Eat alot of fruit. Yoghurt's and starch (Potatoes, rice, bread) Eating junk food (hamburgers etc.) will not help you! Eat yoghurt's or cereal in the morning, at least 2 / 3 fruits during the day (not more than 2 bananas a week - it clogs you up!!) and if possible a potato or / and some veg at lunch time. Then eat a full meal at supper time. (between 5 - 7pm) Snack in-between if you must, but if you eat like this, you won't need in-between snacks. There really is light at the end of the tunnel. If you wanna contact me for more info - feel free!

If you are eating healthily ( with a little junk thrown in for good measure) and getting plenty of excercise then there is not a lot else you can do, be happy being you, I'm sure you are gorgeous. If it makes you feel any better I am at the other end of the spectrum as I have an underactive thyroid. All weekend I have friends telling me I don't eat much. They don't but may as well finish the sentence with "considering how big you are"!
They don't mean any harm, but like you it really affects the way I feel about myself.
Good luck and happy body image!xxx

Wait.. what? 9lbs in just over a week?! The healthy option is loosing between 1-2 pounds a week, but if your too restless to look skinny and wipe away all your probelms, because being skinny really solves everything doesnt it? So my friend ask for some "tips and tricks" from your friends at the pro ana community. Glad to help.

I don't see your problem. You say you're happy with your weight and don't want to take pills to put on weight yet you complain about your arms and legs. You can't have it both ways. Either you put weight on carefully whilst doing an excercise programme based around your arms and legs or you stay the way you are. You obviously have issues that need addressing and you should look a little closer to home rather than to a bunch of strangers on a website for the anwsers.

You're between 85 and 100 LBS, OK so what?
But I question that Dr or GP, he was of little help.
I was like you, but as a guy a little heavier 130 never over 140.
Until my by-pass and they socked me with antibiotics.
With in 3 months I gained 20 LBS and Now 2yrs, I'm 160+
as long as YOU think your healthy, be at peace with your self.
I know 'I' would enjoy your body. I would love to take you dancing. I could easly sweep you off your feet.

Please just be happy with the way you are! There are so many 'ideals' these days! Could you ask someone out for an eating contest and embarrass them? (and get your tea for notthing at the same time?). I would just recommend some exercise with some small weighths to bring out some muscle definition on your arms and legs. I am sure loads of guys find you really attractive if you are slim!!! If you don't have a partner, go get 'um!

First of all, you shouldn't worry about what other people think of you. If you think you are perfectly happy with your weight it doesn't matter what they think. if you doctor is telling you that you need to put on some weight for health reasons, then maybe you should. Your doctor gave you some suggestions, maybe you should just try the pills out. Ask about the side effects though, and the long term affects...

I don't know, i have the same problem. I'm 5'1 and i weigh around 110 pounds. I have thyroid disease and i'm on medication. My weight goes up and down all the time. Oh and i forgot to mention that i am 25 . Yea i am small for my age but i can't help it. Maybe try to get on a womens daily vitamin and drink plenty of milk. Hope this helps.

There are 2 issues here, people who are skinny commonly have high BMR, basal metabolic rate, that means there body burns off calories real fast. that's just way your body is and you cant do much about it. If its thyroid problems, mainly its overactive thyroid then simple blood test can exclude thyroid problems, if its overactive then your GP can prescribe medication to slow it down, Only good news about having thyroid problem is that you are entitled to free NHS prescriptions for all medications, small benefit for people who pay for their prescriptions in UK. If problems is under nutrition or malnutrition then simply start eating more

dont just become lazy and eat junk food cuz that makes u feel gross. i suggest eating more foods with GOOD fat like meats and peanut butter. and if u dont like looking so skinny try to build some muscle by lifting weights or even just doing the motions until u feel a slight burn or tingle. do this every other day instead of every day because it just breaks down ur muscle instead of building it up.
p.s. i wish i had ur problem
