depends on the person a lot of people have trouble gaining weight and get those big protein shake things. People like Me on the other hand have no trouble gaining and hardest time just trying to lose. I swear it seems like if I look at food i'll gain weight. But I got the kind of thyroid that makes you gain weight. My mama on the other hand is stick thin shes got the tyroid that makes you lose she use to be kinda big but now she can eat and eat she snacks all day on junk lik cakes and things and dosent gain the doctors are always on to her about gaining weight and have her drinking ensure  but she still doesent gain.

Yes.  Muscle weighs more than fat but gives the body a physically fit appearance. Fat does not. For example;  if you take 2 people who are both the same height and weigh 170 lbs. but one is 28% fat and the other is 40%, the person with the 40% fat will look physically overweight even though they both weigh the same.  So, you can stay the same weight over time but look overweight when you lose muscle mass and gain fat instead.

Honey losing weight isn't about a fad diet. No, it is about a lifestyle change. Not snacking all the time and getting some exercise. I know you want the quick answer but there isn't one. Gaining weight is a lot like putting money in the bank. Every time you eat you are making a deposit into your weight bank...get it. You naturally burn so many calories every day whether you exercise or not, we will call this a bankers fee. Now here is the most important part....evertime you exercise you are making a withdrawel. deposit - fee - withdrawel = what you weigh.\n\nYou have to love you for you and if you want to make chnges do it for yourself. Nobody is gonna do it for you.

It is not so much gaining but the rapid losing for the weigh in.  They will dehydrate theirselves sometimes to make weight and it is healthy to gain that back.

Once you reach a certain weight (lower weight like you are at right now) it becomes harder and harder to lose weight.  You need to exercise for longer periods to help take the weight off (not that you need to) and eating late at night WILL make you gain SOME weight...only because once you eat that late, you usually go to bed and the weight just stays..whereas in the afternoon and evenings when you eat, you usually are active, therefore making the weight come off.  Get on a regular exercise routine, but push yourself to it a little harder each day. (run for 10 mins one day the next run for 15,ect).  Try not to eat after a certain time (7 or 8?)  And eat plenty of fruits and veggies.  Drinks lots of water, too.

You will lose weight if you use up more energy than you get from the food you eat. So assuming you do not eat more than you need, then yes.\nThis is obviously true of any activity. The more effort you have to make, and the longer you do it, the more energy you are using.\nHousework and gardening are excellent activities because they are free and there is an end-product to the effort.

Because dieting has been proven more effective for weight loss than exercise.  Exercise is for maintaining weight.

Increasing weight is tougher than losing. Sometimes even following the right diet does not help because underweight people generally have high metabolic rates. That is the rate of burning food is higher. So nothing gets accumulated in the body.\n\nAs long as you are fit and running you really do not need to worry about your body. Yes people do care about looks but the truth is there is little someone can do about it.

Actually, if you're gaining weight from muscle mass - that's good. You don't really need to alter your diet anymore. After all, gaining muscle is much better than fat. So if everything's good - why do you want to lose any weight when all the weight is attributed to the goodness of strong muscle?

The fastest, and easiest way to lose weight is to eat right and to exercise. But here's the trick, DON'T STRESS ABOUT IT! Stress causes the body to gain weight because it makes you eat more because you feel that you won't lose weight. But you will!\n\nLess Stress = Lose Weight

Losing weight isn't easy. If you lose it easily you will gain it back quickly.\n\nI've lost 35 lbs in 3 months. I work out 4 hours a week. I drink slim-fast for 10 of my 19 meals a week AND I'm on prescription diet pills. It has been anything but EASY.

You definitely do not need to lose weight. If anything, you need to gain some.

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.

No, its a bad idea. Not only will you keep your real weight (as opposed to water weight)  your skin is likely to break out into a nasty rash which will make it tougher to EXERCISE, the real way to lose weight along with a sensible diet.
