I'm guessing on this one.  If you don't have a health problem causing this, you should reflect on what is different.  Meaning what are you doing and not doing now.  A lot of young adults gain weight just from the freedom of being able to eat what they want when they want.  Also maybe you are not active enough.  Try just eating a less, but healthy.  Adding very small treats, to make it easy to stick to.  Then incorporate excersize.  Start small so you won't hate it.  Soon you will be able to gradually have a good workout.  Don't plan on loosing it in one week unless you would like a heart attack.  If you don't beleive me, do some research or ask your doctor.  Today this doen't sound so hot, but these changes should make you happy.

You failed to share your height, and present weight.  That makes a difference in the calorie intake, etc. you allow each day. Everyone hits a plateau when dieting...sometimes more than once. Eat high lean protein, very low carbs, (try to keep it around 1200 calories per day) continue your exercises, and usually you'll start losing again.  Also, it's important to get at least 8 hours of good sleep a night. Studies have recently found that lack of sleep can actually cause weight gain!

The only way to gain weight in a halal way is to eat more and probably less exercises. i heard there r pills or some kind of honeys that make u gain weight but u have to adapt a certain diet. It all depends on your life style u might be a person with a high metabolism or it might be something genetic that u cant gain weight cz i know people like that they try there best to gain weight they tried everything and they just cant. Just be thankful for what Allah gave u from good health and leave everything to him.

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.

Gain Weight Step 1 - eating!\n\nEating is the first and most important factor that is needed to gain weight. It's simple - you need to eat more calories than you burn. This does not mean eating anything and everything that is not nailed down. Carefully plan your meals with foods that will help you gain lean mass, not fat. I suggest 6 meals. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and three other small meals scheduled throughout the day. The goal is to eat every 2.5 to 3 hours.\n\nFocus on foods such as steak, chicken, fruit, milk, vegetables, cheese and assorted types of nuts. It's recommended to eat 4 - 6 pieces of fresh fruit a day, and at least four tall glasses of milk. Milk is a great, cheap protein source - take advantage of it. A sample snack meal would be a glass of milk, an apple, and a hand full of peanuts.\n\nGain Weight Step 2 - lifting!\n\nAs stated, proper eating is of utmost importance when attempting to gain weight, but if you do not lift weights, the majority of that gained weight will be fat - not muscle.\n\nWhen trying to gain weight, I suggest working out three times a week. You need to lift hard and then recover for the next workout. Focus on the big exercises such as squats, deadlifts, bent-over rows, chin-ups, bench press, & military press. These are the exercises that will turn those extra calories into muscle. You are not going to gain much by doing lateral raises and step-ups every workout. You need the multiple-joint lifts that will shock your system and stimulate your body into growth. Focus on getting strong by adding a small amount of weight each workout. If you focus on strength, size will follow. Case in point, look around at your local gym - the strongest guys are also the biggest.\n\nGain Weight Step 3 - supplements!\n\nTo gain weight, you do not NEED supplements, but they will help you gain the weight quicker. That's what they are, supplements to an already good diet and training program. Think of supplements as the finishing touch.\n\nI like to keep things simple and, therefore, I suggest only two types supplements for those wishing to gain weight. The first is a weight gain shake. The shakes I recommend are ProLab's N Large 2. It's the best value out there. The way N' Large 2  will help is by giving you a large quantity of calories in one small serving. It will provide you with 620 calories in one easy shake and is especially great for people who do not have time for breakfast, or snacks while on the go. Just mix a serving with water or fruit juice and gulp it down in a just a couple of minutes. Get yourself a Shaker Bottle to make it even easier.\n\n\n\n\n(I got these answers from the website below...check it out, it has some great advice)

You don't mention your height or current weight, but my guess is you may not be eating enough for your body.  You could be going into starvation mode where your body will hold on to every single calorie, every single ounce.  I would suggest you shake it up a bit.  Try eating a bit more one day, exercising less another or skipping the exercise altogether for a day.  Change the types of foods you eat.  See if that helps you.  You could also talk to your doctor who'd be able to let you know more specifically why you're not losing.

You are underweight, because your doctor says you are. You need to make sure that your doctor has run tests to make sure that you do not have some underlying medical condition that keeps you from gaining weight. Then get your doctor to refer you to a nutritionist who can help you figure out how you can improve your diet so that you can gain weight in a healthy way that will enable to build muscle mass, not fat. You may also want to start a muscle-building program using resistance training. Being too underweight may prevent you from ovulating normally and might keep you from reaching your full potential height. So please work with your doctor to try to find a way to solve this problem. While a lot of us may envy you, it is not good to be too underweight. Good luck!

Everybody is suggesting you eat junk food to put on fat.  I say that most of the people making suggestions are wrong.  You don't have to eat more, you have to eat more healthy.  I don't know what your diet consists of so I am taking somewhat of a shot in the dark.  First of all, eat fruits and vegetables.  Preferably raw.  Eat constantly, what I mean by that is, eat every hour or two.  No big meals, say an apple now, carrots in an hour with a bagle.  Combine lean meat (protien) with carbs.  For example, when you sit down for a meal have some chicken and a baked potatoe.  If you are eating lots of fat, chances are you body is just flushing then through.  Avoid caffeen becuase it causes you to loose weight.  Drink water, tea, avoid diet soft drinks...in fact, avoid ALL soft drinks.  That extra sugar is speeding up your metabolism.  Avoid white refined sugar and flour.  Switch to whole grain breads and pasta.  Go to the gym.  Muscle is 3X denser than fat so if you want to gain weight, that is the way to go.  Lift HEAVY!  Enough weight that you fail at about 6 reps.  Don't worry about becoming bulky or muscular.  You are a female and your body does not work that way.  I am so tired of that myth!  Finally you might want to consider hormones.  Birth control pills have caused lots of women to gain weight.  If this not an option there is a product called melatonin.  It's available at most pharmacys and health food stores.  They sell it at Wal-mart.  It's over the counter too.  Take that about 30 minutes before you go to sleep.  It's designed to help regulate your sleep pattern for jet lag and people who work night shifts, but I have seen it cause some people to gain weight.  There are no side effects that I know of except it makes you tired and gain weight.  A book I would look in to is Body for Life By Bill Phillips.  Also you might want to look at another book called The Liver-Cleansing Diet by Sandra Cabot. You want to gain weight in a healthy manner, not with pop, chips, doughnuts and lazyness.  I hope this info helps.

If you are underweight, and need to gain to a healthy weight, I can understand this question. If you are a healthy weight, Why would you want to risk your health to gain un-needed fat.! \nIf you are underweight, my advice would be to find out WHY. Make sure you dont have an underlying medical condition, causing weight loss. \nIf this is not a concern, and you just need to add a few pounds, please do it sensibly. Eat larger portions. Add more good carbs, whole wheat breads, brown rice, sweet potatoes, whole wheat pastas, legumes (pino beans, navy beans,etc) as well as lots of nuts, (cashews,peanuts,walnuts, pecans, macadameas,almonds etc.) and olives and peanut butter. (Smart Omega Peanut Butter brand is good and healthy) \nAlso add your calcium rich foods. Ice creams,yogurts,cream cheese,cottage cheese,milk,regular  cheeses such as cheddar/swiss etc.  Many people use to drink milkshakes to gain weight. \nBananas are a high fat fruit that may help. Good source of potassium too. Try to stay away from the high sugar foods. This is NOT a healthy way to gain NEEDED pounds. \nRemember, your overall health should be your focus. NOT body image.

No, you are probably active and have a high metabolism. Try cutting out an activity each day and adding one full meal to your schedule instead. You'll gain weight.

Have a slim fast shake WITH your meals\n\nThere are also weight gain products that you can get from stores like GNC that work well.  Each shake has about 1000-2000 calories

i wouldnt try anything unhealthy. be careful. but, i really think you have no need to gain weight, unless you look really skinny, like a skeleton with bones. i have a friend like that, and she looks horrible. i have never tried to gain weight before, but maybe you could try some kind of health bar. if you work out, you will grow muscle. you wont look skinny anymore, but you will be nice and toned! :)
