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.

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.

You're not trying hard enough.

 

[tennille]

Skinny doesn't equal healthy.

Exactly. Then people question why I eat healthy food and exercise (well, attempt to, anyway).

 

[lengy]

I have high metabolism and was stuck at a certain weight for ages. Now I am able to partially manipulate it from as high as 63 kg at one stage back down to 55 kg.

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.

 

[melsc]

Yes, but I eat as much as I can, generally now until I feel sick and bloated. I am just saying like losing weight, gaining it for some people can be just as hard.

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..

 

[lengy]

I'm wanting to bulk up.

 

[+Po1ntDeXt3r+]

fat up or muscle up or weight up?

 

[lengy]

Muscle. I make half-arsed attempts though. I regularly skip meals and training sessions citing tiredness, time constraints or soreness. I just can't maintain an ordered routine.

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+]

:\ wait u have a hypothyroid.. and u have problems gaining weight...
wow.. wtf.. lolz

 

[lengy]

When I managed to reach 63 kg I was happy. I achieved it however by sleeping constantly and attempting to eat more which is difficult for me as I have a small stomach. Also the reason I can't drink beer and get drunk because my stomach fills too quickly meaning I can't put more beer in.

 

[melsc]

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.

I figure I might gain a bit when I go on the pill anywa, once I check its ok to do by the endocrinologist.

melsc: mabbe u have grave's disease. would explain ure results.. especially given they normally use a TSH..

lengy: ure stomach has a massive stretch capacity..

I know my TSH was 13 and my free T4 was 12

 

[lengy]

The stomach may have a great stretching capacity but my mental boundaries limits me from overcoming this. Similar to how I can only do a limited amount of pushups I have to learn to overcome this boundary but the opportunity to do so doesn't often present itself. I am dominated by fear.

If you eat larger amounts, not necessarily going from like two slices of toast for brekkie to like a 3 course breakfast, but gradual increases in size, your stomach simply adapts.

Sometimes it's not fun because eating for size, especially muscle, can become like a chore, depending on your relationship with food. But if you consistently go at it, you will start to see/feel changes :]

Good luck at the docs on wednesday melsc
