Hi! I am a 13 year old FEMALE. I am so bony it is not even funny. I am tired of being teased...every day. I CRY MYSELF TO SLEEP because of my skinniness, but I walk in the hallways with my head up. I want to gain at least 20 lbs. I WANT TO GAIN FAT/MUSCLES. I don't want to be buff. I want to be fit. I wear a double zero and that is still too big. I want o fit in a size 3 at least. I am trying to start now so next year I will be good enough size for me. What can I do or take to gain good enough weight for myself? I am desperate!!! Please help. I need the name and description of something that can help me gain weight in fat and some muscles. Please nothing expensive. What can I eat to gain weight?

| I am a 26 year female and I'm in the same boat as you are. I go to the doctor to see what he can give me for weight and he said that I'm fine. Well, I'm 5'1" and 80 pounds, and I also get teased so I started to take Ensure and Powerbars. They seem to help, but they cost. I don't think that you're going to find a cheap way to gain weight. It's been 1 month and I've only gained 6 pounds. Please, if you find another healthy way to gain weight, post it here.
Thanks

| I'm hearing what both of you are saying, and FINALLY!!!, I see that I'm not the only one in this situation. I am a little older than the 26 year old, but I too am very thin for my age. I've always been very small and gaining weight has always been a project of mine. I'm not as obsessed as I was in my youth, but it's still a concern of mine. I've questioned doctors and they have assured me that "I'm fine," but I still believe I would feel much better about myself if my body looked the way I want it to.
After trying different weight gaining products to no avail, I've decided to try just eating more as well as eating healthier and working out in the gym. I've also been using Ensure and I think that might be a help for me. Most importantly, we need to remember that we are much more than our size. I believe that I am "wonderfully made...in the image of God..." And as I remember that and speak positive things about myself and my talents and my abilities, etc. and concentrate on enhancing my qualities, being thin doesn't seem too bad. It's minor. I know who I am, no matter what others may think or say. WE'RE FINE!, WE'RE FINE!, WE'RE FINE!

| Wow! I too thought I was all alone out there. I'm a 14 year old female, 5'4", 98 lbs. and everyday at school people whisper about me being bulimic or anorexic. I have NEVER practiced any of these methods. All I ever try to do is get fat! The truth: I have been suffering from depression since second grade. I have been on every antidepressant medication there is. When I was in first grade, I was normal, and in second grade also. But then, when I began this chorus line of medications, my body seemed to disappear.
I am a freshman in high school and I have been a toothpick for 7+ years. I despise my body. It makes me and people who look at me want to vomit. Since this summer, I have been petrified of wearing shorts because I had THE knobbiest knees on Earth. The only reason I did was because I went off medication for 9 months and gained a few precious pounds. This year, I'm back on Lithium, and I am grosser than ever. My waist is 19" around (when I'm trying my hardest to suck out), my neck is 5 and 1/2" around, and I have no fat on my arms, so my wrists are 2 3/4" around. My hips stick out so sharply I could stab someone with them, and the only fat I have is on my butt, and whenever I sit on anyone's lap, they have to ask me to get up because it's so bony!
I'm not permitted to go off my meds, or I would probably commit suicide, even though Lithium makes me ill. Every day, I look in the mirror and cry. I try to eat as much as I possibly can without barfing, and the stuff with the most calories. My metabolism is so damn fast, nothing works, and I'm still losing weight. My dietician said my calorie intake was less than 1000, and I needed to increase that, but how can I eat so much if I'm not hungry? I recently took Pro-Performance 1850 and it didn't work, and it also tasted like sh––. I've given up on wearing short sleeved shirts because my arm looks like it's broken--my elbow is approximately two times the size of my upper and lower arms and the bones stick out everywhere. Please help--any suggestions?

Hi, I'm from India and I'm sailing in the same boat as you guys. Though I'm 23, I could pass off as 16 year old...I am thin and half the clothes of the smallest sizes do not fit me. I sometimes buy stuff from the kiddy sections in stores! I've been trying to put on weight for about 5 years now, but to no avail. But just about one month back, I've started training under a personal instructor, gotten myself a diet from her and it seems to help. I've put on some weight and though its not much, it looks like I'll finally be able to look like I've always wished myself to...thanks to the weight-gainers, exercise and diet that my trainer suggested. Chin up guys, keep trying, its bound to work...like in my case!
