sorry for being nasty, eh i'm sure someone else has something helpful to say, i don't know much about health tbh.
I'm 5"2(ish) and weigh 6 stone 2 (approx). I've found putting weight on is really really really difficult... I've been trying for years now... especially when I went under 5 stone after an op...
If you're bothered about your weight talk to your doctor, but whenever I have they've always said so long as you eat healthily not to worry about it as you're obviously right for your own body (if that makes sense). I think it's slightly diffrent though if it's causing you a lot of mental stress... if so tell your GP this and maybe they'd know of something to help?
I've found the easier route is to not think about it and try and like my body as it is as changing it is a very long and difficult journey... so long as you're happy with yourself it doesn't really matter how you look... I sometimes look in the mirror and thing I look like a skinny bag of bones and I'd love bigger thighs etc but thats getting less and less now... I've started trying to stop hating seeing constant "how to lose weight" things in mags and stuff and started trying to feel lucky that I don't have the pressure of that on me... it could be a lot worse.
I don't know if I've made sense to you at all... But just so you know you're no the only one out there trying to put on weight instead of losing it as I always feel like I'm abnormal for that :rolleyes:
although my other half is also underweight, and after someone posted this tip on here he started having slim fast shakes as well as normal meals, and has put on a little weight. so thank you to whoever posted that!
I personally think that your weight is an ideal weight for your height.
Also you could try making your own weight gain milkshake which is a lot cheaper, tastier and healthier than crap slimfast.
Blend 1 banana, 2 scoops of ice cream and milk.
I'd have thought slim fasts would be low in Calories, maybe he should try Dunn's River - they also come in Cans and in loads of flavours
Do you want to gain weight or only gain curves in those areas because I would have thought 9 stones for your height was fine? Certainly not underweight?
Although personally I gain weight quickly in the first few weeks of every sumemr and I can only put this down to it becoming hot and me drinking loads of soft drinks for the first few weeks.
we checked out the ingredients, and it's almost exactly the same as those build up drinks, but cheaper.
it's something like 200 calories a go, which seems low, but if you have 3 a day, on top of your meals, it's an extra 600. you don't want to gain too much too quickly and your heart give out.
like kaffrin said!

Putting too much weight on can be just as bad for you as loosing too much so think sensibly before you do so. I would suggest seeing a nutritionist - or at least your GP - to find out the kinds of foods that you can eat that will help you gain weight without doing damage to your heart/chlorestorol etc.
Start by reading these articles:
A balanced diet
Finding a dietician
That was what I was advising you not to do! Don't put your health at risk for the sake of putting on a bit of weight.
You probably don't actually eat that much. In your mind you think you are consuming a lot of calories because all you eat is junk food, when in fact your total calorie intake will be quite low.
If you ate 3 - 4 largeish meals a day then you wouldn't look the same.
:yes: me too.
