You can solve both problems at once by eating a steak every day!


Haha! Very good point :wink: if only I had the appetite for it :smile:

But yeah, as long as you're a healthy weight and happy with yourself - you're on the right lines.
I wouldn't say "as long as you're getting complimented" though. Because not everyone has the luxury of compliments! ...believe me!

Hey :smile:. Any tips for gaining some weight... I've just never been that interested in food and really should weigh a bit more than I do...

Age. 17 (in 2 weeks)
Height. 157cm's? Lol
Weight: 6 stone 5

EDIT: oh, and before someone asks, NO, I'm not anorexic.


I think I just got older really. Things like this have a great habit of settling down past the age of 20 or so. The other explanation is a thyroid issue (though it's the opposite to what people expected all along when I was lighter, underactive which means weight gain) but because it's stabilised that doesn't explain it either. Certainly I did not do anything drastic to my diet. I eat primarily meat and carbs- especially pasta, pizza, spaghetti etc.

Your BMI does land you in the underweight range, so absolutely you should try to take in some more calories than you are doing BUT please don't stress about it. If you're into small portions and you're not that pushed about food, you could try snacking little and often. Things like nuts especially, but fruit and cereal bars (the good kind, not frosties bars) are always a good choice. Another option is a supplement to add calories, like Complan. No scary protein shakes like bodybuilders have, it's just like a milkshake so it wouldn't be any effort on your part to consciously eat more food. It comes in chocolate and strawberry flavours as far as I remember. Don't let anyone tell you that you must have an eating disorder! It's the height of rudeness.

It would also be worthwhile to have a quick bloodtest for thyroid issues. You did say it's moreso you're not interested in food rather than unexplained can't-gain-weight, but still they're very common and you should rule it out. Also they are connected to low iron which you said you have.

bra size 32DD - I got properly measured at John Lewis. By the look of it, some people might be wearing a band size too big.

I'm 17, weight about 9 and half stone, dress size 12.
5ft 3
34F/G depending on the shop
I'm planning on losing some weight over the summer, mostly just because I want to be fitter, being skinny-er would be a bonus too though, especially for uni


I'm similar to you!
I'm 5'3 and around 9.5 stone with 34F boobs in most M&S bras.
but I'm usually a size 10/12 on the bottom, or 8/10 if its like a skirt sitting on waist not hip, and often have to get a size 16 or 18 on top or in dresses and sow it in so it doesn't make me look like an elephant!

I don't mean this in a mean way at all but:
I feel like some people here are either lying about breast size, or dress size...
34C means you measure 37inches round the bust making you a 12 - 14 on top... a lot of people that size have been saying they are 8's O.o that doesn't add up... saying size 10, sure you probably like stuff very tight, but 8?
Or do most people just like tops to be tighter than I do? :smile:

They're most likely in a bra size with a too big band and too small cup. That being said, I wear an 8-10 and have a bust measurement of 40" a 28HH, it does happen and it's not that uncommon. I get a lot of clothes custom made because I have an issue with getting them to fit my bust and waist, which is 27". I can and do wear size 8 tops and dresses though if the material allows
honestly, you really shouldn't worry about your weight!! it makes me so sad when all that so many girls care about it to do with their looks, be happy no matter what size you are!!

as long as you are eating healthy and exercising that is all that is important

sorry to sound like a grandma but its completely true!

I'm not good with the imperial measurements, so I'll just use the metrical system, if you don't mind.
I'm 16, 164cm, 47kg and 32C. I believe I have to lose weight still despite my BMI being roughly 17.5, because my thighs overlap and my belly is not flat.
Also, I'm size 6/8 for tops and 8/10 for trousers.

I'm a 34 c and I'd go for a 10/8 in tops depending on the shop, the tops look like a good fit. That's not me wearing a too tight top or lying about my bra size (which frankly on the Internet would be rather sad...)
I know what you're saying, but in my opinion whenever I wear an 8 or 10 top they fit me perfectly :smile: if anything, the 10s in some shops are a little generous! The only shop I've ever experienced an 8 to be too small in the bust is lipsy, yet the 10s are a bit too big!
