Anyone else having trouble putting lost weight back on? I feel like I eat but my weight is going no where it stays the same. I want to gain more weight!
 
I'm in the same boat. I suffer from anxiety and depression and just recently I have gotten pretty extreme in both and am back on medication. I remeraber years ago when I first was diagnosed with depression and anxiety that I lost about 10-15 lbs...and I only weighed about 110 at that time, so you can imagine how much I did not like being under 100 lbs! These past couple of weeks I have lost 7 lbs and am also trying to put weight back on. I've been trying to eat a lot of healthy carbs and fruits. I was actually going to try to start my pilates class again to help build muscle back which can also put on some weight. This may not be much help but it's just some ideas I've had this week. I understand how frustrating it is to want to put your weight back on and nothing is working.
 
I still can't gain my weight. I have been eating so well =( I just dont get it.
 
As long as your healthy there's nothing wrong with having low weight. If you want to gain weight the healthier way is through muscle not fat. Just keep eatting lots of the healthy stuff and add more protein while building mass by doing low rep heavier weights to both upper and lower body. There are lots of weight gainer protein shakes available. Talk to your doctor first and start gradually of course.
 
Thanks a lot that helps. Ill talk to my doctor about it. My health is great, but I still hate being small like this, I just dont feel normal. Thanks for the positive remark though, it sure does help.
