Its really not that simple. I have lost weight recently for no reason and I can't put it back on regardless of how much I eat, or what I eat. I have always had difficulty gaining weight so i went for blood tests. I got them back and its even weirder. I have an underactive thyroid which means, I should be gaining weight not losing it, have no apetite but I am always hungry and a slow metablosm, but mine is really fast. It all makes no sense and I cant seem to put any weight on. I am now 45kg and about 154-5cm mid last year I was 48kg and in 2005 I was 50kg...go figure I eat junk etc and no weight gain.quik. said:You all say no when it's true.
Your metabolism accounts for so much a day.
Once you eat over what you expend, and your metabolism takes up, you will gain weight.
It isn't rocket science.
Exactly. Then people question why I eat healthy food and exercise (well, attempt to, anyway).Tulipa said:Skinny doesn't equal healthy.
Basically.lengy said:You're not trying hard enough.
u think u have no idea..quik. said:Basically.
Melsc, I don't really understand all the effects of the thyroid nearly enough to comment or whatever. For the most part, however, the people who 'can't gain weight but eat like a horse' are not eating liking a horse.
My mum has the same condition and is still skinny. I guess we are just weird. Pisses people off though when I complain about not being able to gain weight when they cant lose it. I would be happy at this weight but my mum and b/f pester me.+Po1ntDeXt3r+ said:u think u have no idea..
trust me after like 45 yrs some medical scientist dun either.. in medicine thyroid dysfuction is a good general answer.. cos it can cause so many things
Melsc: u may need to become my charity case.. "help u gain weight"... there are possible genetic reasons.. for that.. so see ure family at the same age.. cos u then have to be careful that after a certain point u might put it on fast..
there are also things about how some skinny ppl have more fat than obviously fat ppl.. cos their internal organs are covered in fat...seen on CT..
:\ wait u have a hypothyroid.. and u have problems gaining weight...melsc said:My mum has the same condition and is still skinny. I guess we are just weird.

Yes, I know thats why its very weird. I am going to see an endocrinologist this wed anyway who might have an idea why, though it makes no medical sense.+Po1ntDeXt3r+ said::\ wait u have a hypothyroid.. and u have problems gaining weight...

I know my TSH was 13 and my free T4 was 12+Po1ntDeXt3r+ said:melsc: mabbe u have grave's disease. would explain ure results.. especially given they normally use a TSH..
