Weight loss?

[poeticlurker]

No, I don't think I'm fat. Calm down.

I've been hearing lately that people are supposed to gain weight in high school. I lost weight, and in fact the most I've ever weighed was 105 lbs, right before I started 9th grade (age 14 for non-Yanks). Is it bad that I kept losing weight, getting back up to about 100 lbs, and losing weight again? I was down to around 95 lbs junior year (age 17).

I'm just wondering, because a lot of people like to point out my size and amazing inability to keep weight on. I don't want to be overweight but I hate being a size zero!

Eating small frequent meals help to balance your calorie intake throughout the day and also keeps your blood sugar level balanced. Instead of eating 3 big meals, try to eat 5 - 6 smaller meals throughout the day.

I've found that eating 2 larger meals a day keeps my weight up, but snacking in between helps my blood sugar. When I tried eating 5-6 times a day, I couldn't keep my weight up.

Well if you find that weight not good for you, u could always add in those nutrional drinks, like Boost, or Ensure, between your 2 big meals, The vanilla is much better then the chocolate.

Yup, you said it best. Also as I'm sure youve been told, genetics plays a huge factor in it as well.

If I were you, I would see a doctor and get yourself checked out. You could have a thyroid problem which would be causing you to have issues with weight loss and a high metabolism.

For 5' 3", 100 is a bit on the small side, but as long as you're eating properly, getting enough sleep, and feeling fine then there's no reason to worry. Some people are just of a skinnier build than others. For example my brother is 6' tall, but only weighs ~130 lbs, whereas I am 5'10" tall and weight 185 lbs. I do have a little bit more bodyfat than he does, but the majority of the reason I weight so much more than him is that I naturally have a more muscular build than he does and I lift weights, whereas he is naturally very skinny and he never lifts weights. Most can't believe that he and I related because of how much bigger I am. I wouldn't call him unhealthy, however, just skinny.

G.O.M.A.D
gallon
of
milk
a
day...
if you drink a gallon of whole milk every day along with your regular meals you will gain weight. you may have to increase your exercise load, but i have seen people put on as much as 30 lbs in a month. you are looking at an extra 2600 calories per day. gaining or losing weight is simple math if you want to gain weight take in mor calories than you use, if you want to lose take in fewer than you use in a day.

 

[Aibrean]

I seriously doubt that is healthy.

 

[ahiggs]

i have done this for a month...i put on about 10 lbs and made some serious strengh gains. i know we are not babies, but we all once were...and we all lived on a diet of nothing but milk for months
