I understand how you feel I might not be as small as you in weight but I look like a skeloton at least I think so and I hate it.I had the pill called periactin the generic brand is called cyprohepdadine It did work I put on 26 lbs off of them.The doctor took me off and said to try on my own but then I lost it all.I would like to get them back.Go to your doctor and see what happens.Hope all goes well. burgeo

I am not anorexic looking so I am told but everone tells me I am skinny all the time it bothers me alot to me I look terrible when I look in the mirror what can We do?

My advice as a Ectomorph myself is simply eat a hour before you go sleep normaly a pack of cream custard or biscuites betwen 5-10.
also there is this supplement i have

Artichoke Tablets 300mg

another thing that i relised is when i stressing alot i seem to lose alot of weight so i always try and stay carm and if you smoke stop!!! smoking use to make me lose my appertite and rune my body physicaly and mentaly head pains ect

if you want to put on weight it is a lot easy than you think but i will take about a year the problem with you all you all trying to put on weight quick and that doest work just take yout time eat at leats 500 cal extra a day for a month then up 150 cal a day each month after that youll will find you would of put on about 15 pounds you can use a high cal protein shake each serve is 600 cal have that once a day and then up your intake . or just eat more. i use to weigh nothing aswel tried and tried but olny did it for a month or two nothing just stick to it and then you can all stop complaining about your weight

That is crap where saying you can only gain 2 or 3kg out of our strictly-imposed weight region. When I started lifting heavy compound weights and consistently eating more and more I went from 125lbs to 190lbs over a period of 5 years . I am 5 10. Started all of this when i was 20. Before then It seemed like i could never gain a pound. Its important to never miss a meal and gain quality muscle through consistant heavy weight lifting and getting in more healthy calories than you expend. Unless you hace a true health problem this will work. I am a trainer have helped many thin people achieve what they thought was impossilble.

i agree with you, I'm 6'1 and just inmarch, i was really sick in weighed 134, i was deathly skinny, but when i got better, in april, i started doing push ups EVERYDAY, lifting weights, going to the gym, and eating more, and sleeping more, and now im 152-155(7). i jus recently got in the 50's range at the end of the summer, im still slim but i look MUCH better, and plus i look cut and can actually walk around in public with a wife beater (on my good days). it does take time though and alot of effort, and SLEEPING is the key. you can go real far with SLEEP, people tend to "sleep" on the importance of sleeping.
PS trust me, for all you skinny people out there, trust me, it's better to be thin than to ever be fat, trust me, be thankful you have underweight problems instead of overweight problems, at least being underweight isnt AS detrimental to your life.
