could be a thyroid condition, could be medications or other drugs you may be taking. could depend on what your diet is. You may need to get blood drawn to test for possibilities on the reason behind the weight gain. and check side eefects of medication, if you are taking some

see your doctor- you may have an overactive thyroid\n\nthe best thing to do for weight gain is to add muscle- it weighs twice as much as fat and is much healthier! \n\nsusan

I had the same problem when I was younger. I couldn't gain weight no matter what I did. If you doctor is telling you that you are under weight and it is for your health, check and see if they can make you an appointment with a nutritionist, someone that can put a diet plan together for you. The down side to being able to eat whatever you want and not gain weight is that you develop bad eating habits. I'm 30 now and still the right size for my height, age, but now I worry about cholesterol, etc. If you can't get to a nutritionist, try a diet with high protien, meats, fish, chicken, etc. Then make sure to add at least one vegetable at every meal. Stay away from high fat foods thinking they will put on weight faster. Also, try to keep dairy in your diet if you can.\nGood luck.

Don't forget that muscle weighs more than fat, so you may be gaining muscle tone, in which case, looking at the scale is not going to help you gauge your progress.\n\nOr, if you aren't gaining any muscle, you may have a thyroid problem.  Sometimes, a person's thyroid can not produce the hormones necessary to aid in weight loss.\n\nAlso, before you see a doctor, how long have you been working out?  Some people have unrealistic expectations for how quickly they will lose weight.  It can take two weeks or more to see a difference at all, even if your friends did the same thing and lost weight more quickly than that.  Everyone has a different body with a different metabolism.\n\nWell, take all that into consideration, and if ya don't like it and you're doing everything right, see a doc.\n\nGood luck!

hmmm....there could be many reasons why this is happening. It could just be the way your system works, or it could be a medical problem like overactive thyroid or even Crohn's disease.  Please make an appointment with your doctor and discuss this with him/her.  It's probably nothing, but they're the health care professionals and this is their field of expertise.  I would strongly recommend finding out why this happens to you.

If we're talking about large amounts of weight, then no.\n\nIf we're talking about small amounts, then it's not "normal" but it's not something to worry heavily about.  If you are working out and building muscle, that can cause a bit of weight gain - but it's good weight.\n\nHowever, if you find yourself leveling off or gaining and losing the same 5 pounds for a long period of time, take a good look at the way you're eating and how you're getting activity.  If you run everyday, eventually your body gets used to it and you don't burn as many calories.  Try to get in a few different types of exercise for the best results.  Also, make sure you're getting all of the nutrition that your body needs - try taking a supplement if you're not already.

You are not fat and like many people. I also eat only once a day that is all I have time for or if I am home then I will eat smaller meals for lunch. You are acaully under wieght for your height. I am 5'3" and weighted 110. The average size for a person my height is 120. But I have been this side since I was 12. Now at 26 I have just started gaining weight. But you do need help if you think you are fat before you stop eating all together. Because it sounds like you only eat once a day because you think you have a weight issue. If you are worried about gaining weight if you eat then eat more fruits and vegs. and stay away for fatty food eat smaller meals drink plenty of water and take a walk everyday.

Have you made any changes in your diet recently? Do you eat healthy foods and exercize regularly? It might be a problem associated with the birth control pills, or it might be a coincidence. In either case, that sounds like a lot to gain in one month. I'd ask your doctor if I were you.

Ok, Iam not an expert, but due to my hectic training schedule, I was not able to eat properly, and I lost a lot of kilos. Iam already lean, now I became even more lean! Then I asked for methods to gain weight.\n\n                   The first thing you should keep in mind is that gaining weight is not the only sign of health. If it is, then why are so many people out there go to gym everyday and sweat like pigs to lose weight?! Your doctor diagnosed and didn't find anything wrong, right? And you know very well that you are healthy as a horse. Then what are you so worried about? You should be proud about your amazing slim body. Many people out there dream about a slender attractive body... :-)\n\n               If you still want to gain weight, try thick banana milkshake, and milk mixed with enough protein powder everyday.\nTake in a lot of dairy products(but be careful when you take in the butter). Go to a good gym, where a good instructor can give you advice on gaining body mass.I don't think non-veg is gonna help gain body mass. It just makes you obese.\n\n               "You are just 29, and you alredy have a good family, now why are you so worried about being lean? Be proud, man, just enjoy the life...." ;-)

If you have recently lost a significant amount of weight, or have increased your exercising a lot, these may be a few causes, but I would talk to mom/guardian and go see the doctor if it doesn't come

Could be a whole laundry list of reasons why this might be happening from your blood sugar being too low, not following a balanced diet, to something more serious.  Best bet would be making an appointment with a Health care professional that can properly answer this question for you.

Try looking on www.differentu.com and look under weight management and look at nutritional shake mixes. They say weight loss but will also help you gain it just depends on how you use it. All you have to do to gain weight is take a shake with every meal you eat and thats it. You can add all types of things like fresh/frozen fruit, yogart, ice, etc. So check it out and see what you think. God bless you and I wish you the best!!

Same here... I've been losing weight by making some easy changes.\n\n• Don't skip meals (this one is important)\n• Drink lots of water\n• Don't eat too late (basically, don't snack before bedtime)\n• Find good ways to deal with a sweet tooth- I've learned to drink a diet A&W root beer to help with mine!\n• Exercise- this one is pretty obvious. Just fit it in whenever/wherever you can, because every bit counts.\n\nAlso, because your weight gain has occurred relative to a change in your life (going overseas) look at what the actual culprit is. What has changed in your diet/nutrition/lifestyle since you have been there? \n\nGood luck.

This is a result of your metabolism increasing (basically  your muscles are demanding more food for energy).  Just be cautious of what you eat and at what time.
