dont you think that underweight is a problem as well just like overweight? i am underweight but i never succeeded in gaining a few more pounds...

is there something psychological behind this?

I've always been underweight. I have a very tiny bone structure and I was always told that I had a high metabolism and I could eat anything and not gain weight. Because of hearing that all the time since I was little, I believed it even though my doctor told me I have a normal metabolism. It's the same as when an overweight person believes that they're not able to lose weight. I'm learning to change my thinking and believe that I can be a healthy weight

I have a similar problem except well...I like being underweight.

For a brief time, I was a little on the heavy side. Then I lost 15lbs and everyone was like...you're too skinny! You need to eat more! It made me feel a little bad to hear those things, but another part of me was like...I look awesome in my clothes! Well after that I lost another 5lbs (which I wanted to happen as I was in between sizes and wanted to fit a certain size) and all of a sudden people were like, wow I wish I was as thin as you.

Ok, I was too skinny when I was 5lbs heavier, but then when I lost even more weight I look good?

I didn't know the law of attraction at that time, but I think the fact that I was happy with my weight and liked being able to wear a certain size, caused people to accept my weight. So I think that if you just focus on the idea that you're at your perfect weight, it'll happen the way you want it to be...if you want to be accepted as you are or if you want to gain some more weight.

Being overweight and underweight are definitely not good for our health. Be sure to have a normal weight to have a good lifestyle.

The main goal is to increase your overall intake of calories every day; it doesn't really matter if you eat more meals or increase the size of the meals you eat right now.

Weight gain isn’t something that is easy to do, it requires patience and discipline to diet and training. Hopefully the weight gain tips on this site will help you to achieve your goals.
1. Get Counting - Count your calories on a normal daily basis. That doesn’t mean you have to change your normal eating habits – just eat as you normally would and count the calories you have consumed. This is of crucial importance to try to be as accurate as possible. Then get on the scales and weigh yourself.
2. Get Eating! - Eating is first and foremost the most important thing you need for proper weight gain. It makes sense that you need to eat more calories than you burn. This does not mean eating anything and everything within reach! It means you need to include in your weight gain diet, foods that will help you gain lean mass, not bad fats. 6 meals a day is a good start.
3. Get Lifting! -As stated above, proper eating is of utmost importance if you want to gain weight, but if you do not complement eating with weightlifting, all that gained weight will be fat – not muscle.
4. Get Weighing! -Weigh yourself at the end of a week. You’ll notice you’re gaining more weight after only one week! However, don’t expect miracles. You won’t have put on 10lb!. Remember that when it comes to weight gain, gaining anymore then 1 or 2 pounds a week is unhealthy and means you’re putting on fat instead of muscle. Patience is a virtue! What you want is to see 1 or 2 pound gains at the end of the week. It may not seem like a lot but add it up. You easily gain weight at the rate of 5-8 pounds a month!

If we are here about the LOA, then it stands to reason that if you believe you can gain weight then you will.

I have used this to lose weight and I have, quite a bit with very little effort.

I just put out there that I am thin, and I visualize my body getting thinner and then the ideal weight I would like and I give it up to the universe and just believe it will happen and it is!

How much more simple can that be?

I don't count calories or work out like a fool, heck I have hardly done a thing....I even eat junk food sometimes and I am still losing weight.

Just use the LOA, ask, believe, and recieve!!

Easy......Peasy!~!!

I think if you really want to gain your weight then you eat healthy foods like mutton, chicken, fishes, fresh fruits and its shakes and do any exercise daily.

I think you should eat healthy foods like fish,fruits and also take protein powder with daily breakfast.

I may be slightly underweight or just right for someone my height but I was wondering can you use LOA to help you get "in shape" ... I've started working out a lot recentley (doing more weights etc) and eating healthier...but I'd like to see more of a difference....any suggestions?

It's funny how people will call you too skinny but dare not call you fat. I think that's the best way to deal with it is love yourself and ignore them.

I'm in my 30's shop in kids stores so, I've learned to love exactly how I am.
