You can excercise regularly as it increases your metablolism.

Eat smaller portions of food more often throughout the day. Picture this: Eat 5 smaller meals a day, which would add up less than the food you would eat regularly. This is the most natural way of speeding up metabolism. Easier way to do so would be the help of supplements but I would advise not to since these pills would totally mess up your metabolism in the long run, and it only works for the duration you take these pills.\n\nIf you want to speed up your metabolism in order to burn more fat, cardiovascular exercises and weight training is another solution.

Changing your diet can help also!  It sounds like you are doing the right thing with weights and exercise.  However, changing your diet to ingest less sugars and complex carbs will increase your metabolism which will make your body burn more calories.

there are different approaches to this... But the best way is the healthy way. Do some aerobic exercises u enjoy so u wont get bored. Do some weight training too, enough to tone muscles... toned muscles promotes higer metabolism. Watch what you eat in terms of calories. good luck.

Just leave yourself the way you are.  You are just a bit skinny and that is sexy.  You will naturally gain weight as you get older, trust me.

diet and exercise.  It won't be quick but it will work.  Fast weight loss ruins your metabolism and makes it harder to lose weight.  If you lose it too fast it will likely be gained right back also.  Good luck.

Bet you physically jump when startled, too, don't you? I used to do it. Type A personality, very tense, jumpy, rattled easily, emotional? The only thing that worked was slowing down my metabolism, extra Vit. B compounds, and anti-depressants. Recently I started taking a new cholesterol med and the jumpy and shaking the leg is back. I will be asking for a change in meds but you could cut back on sugar, caffeine, nicotine, and find lots of activity to keep you moving, until you can start to get your sleep regularly. Continue to pay attention to what your body is telling you, try to slow down (take longer to eat, walk slower, dress slower), anything you can slow down enough and long enough for it to become a habit. Sorry, but the cure truly is a long hard road, and you'll probable get there when you get old anyway.

Alot of weight is actually turned into body mass, aka muscle. You obtain this thru exercises and diet.I have battled the high cholesterol and high triglycerides for several years. So I have had to cut back on starches which turns into sugar that turns into fat. So start watching your saturated fat content. Also you do need a daily regiment of some for of exercises and increase this each week by 10 minutes. Burning calories and the weight does come off you thru sweating and bowel movements ext..And then some of it turns into fuel for your body. If you have a low metabolism, then the weight will stay on, so get your metabolism back up.

Yep, but it is probably mental though, which is normal. Either your too busy. Or your stressed out about something very dear to you, like a death, break-up, or just flat out stressed out big time. Find a support group of your choice, it may help!! If you do nothing, You will gain weight if you don't gain weight, then their may be a problem to check out with you doctor that you like. Good luck and try to make yourself eat at least 5 small meals or snacks a day, this boost you metabolism.

When was the last time you hada  complete physical? Check out your Thyroid, it may be underactive = slower metabolism. Im not an expert (yet) so go see one!\ngood luck.\nbe sure to mention youre a vegetarian and for how long. \n\nOne more idea- Genetics & lifestyle.

Try staggering your diet and workouts.  It may be that your body has hit a plateau and adjusted to your regimen.\n\nTry a new approach.  Alter workout times.  Another suggestion, is using intervals during cardio.  Walking for 1 minute, jog for 2, walk for 1, and so on for the length of your workouts.   Try increasing the incline or resistance level as well.  \n\nAlso, try scaling back on carbs in the evening.  You don't have to cut them out, just eat the bulk of your high-content foods during the day.  Increase fiber/proteins, these will also jump start your metabolism.

Cutting down on caloric intake and exercising should help.  It will be slow - but take it on slowly and it will eventually show great results.  : )

Seems like you have a fast metabolism like me.  I think your best bet is to begin lifting weights and eating lots of protein in order to put on a little muscle.

You may be a little over weight but as long aa your happy with your self then dont worry about it to much. But since it sounds like you are, here is my advice. Since you are already active, try cutting back on what you eat and how many caories you eat. They say its best  to excerise 3 times a week 20 mins a day min. Also have your doctor check your thirods, this is what helps your metabolism and sometimes your thirods for some reason could be slow or not working.
