A couple of points. First it is a myth that exercise will develop big muscles (on a woman). It will give tone, and good shape, but there are hormones involved ( the main one is testosterone), and in the lower levels in women it does NOT lead to big muscles. Even if it could, it wouldn't happen overnight, so you'd know when to lay off anyway.\nYour size and metabolism are largely genetically dictated (assuming you lead a normal healthy life). For myself, I wonder why you want the change? I'll bet there's millions of women out there that would love to have your "problem".\nI say, be happy with who you are. work on that, not the weight-gain issue.

see a nutritionist. while eating a lot may help you a bit, it is also not healthy (junk food binge=tummy ache), especially if you are naturally skinny-you might end up just getting sick. it's also in the genes, so check if your relatives are skinny. if they are, chances are, you always will be on the slim side. oh, by the way, i know that there are exercises that can help you gain weight. ask your nutritionist about this too. =) good luck, and MAN DO I WISH I HAD YOUR PROBLEM! hehehe.

Start with eating a bunch of vegetables and fruits.  Don't drink pop, instead have some healthy orange juice or something pertaining to nutrition.and have some sort of meat..and that should just about do it.  I wish I could actually GAIN some weight.  *tear* its no fair.

You need exercise, hon. Put those wonderful kids in the stroller, and go for nice long walks every day, at least 2 miles. You already know what you  aren't supposed to eat, and I'm sure you know you need to drink at least 8 glasses of liquid every day. You just have to remember, moderation, Don't pig out on one thing, or only eat salads, it doesn't work and only makes you crave what you shouldn't. Also, eat slowly, and only 2/3 to 1/2 as much as you normally do. It will take you a long time to lose the weight, but taking it off slowly will ensure it stays off. If you slip up and just have to have a treat, don't feel bad. Everybody craves something once in a while. Good luck.

I was always underweight when I was younger as well. When I was in my early twenties my metabolism completely changed and I automatically morphed into a normal weight. The best advice I can give you as far as gaining weight is to ask your doctor. Your doctor can give you advice as to how to gain weight in a way that wont cause any health problems.

I have the same problem, but that happened with my pregnancy. I gained a lot of weight, almost or better saying: unhealthy weight. Anyway, this is what you should try: don´t eat after 18:00 hrs, don´t drink coke etc, just water (they even found out that juices have more sugar as coke does), try to move a lot and of course: no junk food. Try to eat a lot of veggies and fruits. And with meat: chicken. Best way doing this: chicken with salad like ceaser salad..... \n\nAnd you should forget about those weight watcher and other diet stuff. Because if you lost the weight and you eat "normal" again, all that weight is coming back. Also, try to do lot of exercices, the most of them, you can do them at home, if you have a ps2, I recommend Kinetic.\n\nHope I could helped you a little bit...

i used to have your problem. 2 years ago i was extreemely underweight but i have since gained 40lbs (mostly muscle since my body fat percentage has remained the same). There is no such thing as being unable to gain weight. You just simply arent eating enough. if you are the same as me, then you would need to be eating 5-6 high protein full meals a day accomipanied by 3x a week weight lifting. click on my name and look at my replies in other threads if you want to know more.

For one thing, stop comparing yourself to everyone else and second, you sound pretty darn perfect to me. I am 40 years old and 5"4ft and weight 113 pounds, I have weighed this much since I graduated from high school. Some people just grow faster than others and then a lot of catching up will happen. Just think how much healthier you are than they are. All that junk food will eventually catch up with them and they will be the ones saying they wish they looked like you!! Just be happy with yourself now because I bet you are way prettier than they are.

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!!

you seem like you're light for you age, and not overweight if i'm correct that 49kg is about 100lbs. but crunches are always good, here are some other excercises that work:\n\nthere is a machine that you can buy but it works just as well w/ a bar w/ two 5kg weights on the ends. sit on your knees w/ the bar in front of you and grab the handles and roll forward until you are almost flat and your arms extended. and roll back w/ the bar to your knees... then repeat. you can't really do too many of these but they really hurt the next day.\n\nalso, lie on your belly like you are starting to do a push-up. get up in a push-up position except of being on your hands go on your elbows and hold that position. your back and butt should be flat and the only things touching the ground should be your elbows and your toes. hold that for like 30 seconds at a time. you really feel that the next day too. these really work well. hope this helps.

get some high protein stuff like "boost" or "ensure" and drink those. also get some "protein shakes" that are like powder and can mix with milk and stuff to make weight gaining drinks. or just eat a ton of food all the time. i have and incredibly fast metabalism and im incredibly skinny even though i eat more than everyone i know... but to gain weight, those protein and calorie drinks are good stuff.

Ok, that converts to 140 pounds so you are slightly underweight.  The only ways to gain weight are to increase your muscle mass or to eat more calories than you burn.  I don't think you want to gain as much as 80 kg....73 kg would do it.\n\nSo, exercise to bulk up or increase the calories you normally consume in one day but keep them as healthy calories (no fats or fried foods) so you don't clog your arteries.

If you want to increase your weight from 39kg to 55kg there is a way. \n\n1. Everyday eat also of fat food like chicken, TB or anything that make you fat one.\n\n2. Do not do any exercise when you go out. Example like when you go to swimming with your family then you tell them you don't want to swim. If they want you to swim then you go inside the water there and stand move a little bit. If you move a lot that will burn fat.

you can take weight gainers. like high soy protein shakes to help bulk up. you can get that at gnc or wal-mart. i would get heaver weights. take it up to 50 lbs or buy few more dumbbells to add on what you have. also you can do pull ups/ chin ups and use your body weight to help that way.more weights will do the trick.
