I am very UNDERweight. What baffles me is that I eat a LOT, but can't seem to gain half a pound! 8O


Jealous!

I would do anything to gain a pound! When you're 6'0" and weigh 115 pounds, people start giving you looks and making comments!


Wow, I can feel better, now! I'm not as underweight as you. I am 6' and 116! I just came from the doctor who told me to gain some weight. I have always been too thin. How about you?

I wonder if my weight has anything to do with the fact that I am almost always fidgeting. I read somewhere that underweight people fidget a lot. Is it cause or effect? Some stims burn more calories than others. When I am really anxious I burn off the nervous energy on my exercise bike.

Oh yeah, I've been underweight for as long as I can remember. I've never been told to gain weight, however, they always said "You're lucky!" ... not really. :? Interesting about the stims...I have stimmed quite a bit since I was younger.

Skinny but not underweight. Lower side of a healthy BMI.
If I lost 10lbs I'd be underweight for my height.

I had an eating disorder before but it did not get out of control.

I'm 5 5 and 249 lbs. I want to get myself down to 200bs and stay there.

I've been overweight since I was 5. ): I can't stay motivated for more than like 2 weeks to lose weight... and then I just gain it back.
