i weigh 103 now. i want to gai weight just because i want to. i wantedc to keep 10 poundsd of my pregnancy weight but that didnt happen. then my dr said the BC has weight gain. and so far i havent gained anything


sick_mama i dont exersize alot. well i never go to a gym or anything. i used to run track when i was in school but thats about it. i think it might be just a fast metabolosm?

BC effects people in different ways- you don't always gain weight. I am exact opposite of you- i need to lose 10 pounds grrr

Look into high calorie foods and drinks just try and stay away from fatty and junk food- you don't want to clod up your arteries

Yay, a girl that wants to gain weight. What a weirdo. Cough eh hem. Ok, protein shakes, NO Girlfriend, NO. Asking GNC customer server, NO Girlfriend NOOOOOOOO. Why, because a lot of them know less about some of these products then even I (I don't know too many GNC products) and their major focus is sales, not helping the customer =/. That is what I felt at least during my times at GNC, I used to buy various protein shakes, and some L-glutamine and Argenine and Leukic, and whenever I'd query the workers there to help explain to me, I'm like -_- you definitely don't know what you are talking about. They'd just be telling me things like "why are you taking leukic by itself, it doesn't help increase strength (yet it says it does on the label), you should take it with gakic as well, basically just trying to make me buy both.

If you must buy a product there, look for some sort of weight gainers, I believe that is what the name is called. I've heard various stories though, that it does, or does not work. I wouldn't rely on a supplement, any such "bonuses" can't be expected to get the work done for you solely on it's own. During high school I was quite the typically skinny boy at 150ish pounds. But eer since last spring and upon getting the P.T. certification and working out/eating right, I'm 175 now!!! YES! According to BMI, I JUST surpassed being overweight. Roar =P I didn't need to use something to gain that, and trust me, I thought I couldn't gain weight at one point.

I have a feeling you eat quite a bit despite your itty bitty demeanor Suzy, but what does your diet consist of usually and how often do you eat per day. Do you eat like 3 huge meals, or wha?

Gain weight in a healthy way
Posted: 02-06-08 16:24pm

It sure is harder to gain weight than to lose weight as hard to believe as it is.

You want to gain the right kind of body weight though not just fat but muscle as well. There are some great shakes on the market that will help you do just that.
You can mix them with milk, yogurt or/and fruit.
Take one mid morning and one mid afternoon on top of your regular meals.

But please do not overindulge in rich, fatty foods, you'll just gain a health problem, one a lot more serious than being a little thin.

When I was a teenager I needed to gain weight, Mom made milkshakes made with cream, rich ice cream and eggs. She also put cream on my cereal.
