I'm very skinny and underweight... I literally can see my hips bones ...I lost my appetite like most of days and I wish I could eat more

[@lugzthegriffin287]

I got an idea

[@lugzthegriffin287]

Eat 3 burgers

[@lugzthegriffin287]

And problem so,ved

[@itsprathamesh9089]

I am skinny but I can eat more than my fat friends so I dont know why am I skinny

[@robloxman274abc]

U can see my ribcage lol Idk why but I just can't gain weight. I eat loads already.

[@tchaikovsky.p]

I'm 5'3 and 36kg, that makes me underweight. I have had anorexia for around 3 years now, and it is just now getting better. I weigh less than my younger sister (who weighs over 20kg more than me but is still a healthy weight.) I eat 2 meals a day and sometimes snacks in-between. Sometimes it does feel like you can't gain weight, but, for those who are under/overweight, anything can happen, I believe in you! ❤❤

Last year I used to weight 65 kg (143 pounds) and I was 169 cm (5’6), in the start of the coronavirus I decided to change my body, I started doing workouts and eat more healthily. 2 months ago I weighed 57 kg (125 pounds) and I was 173 cm (5’8), but I decided that it's not enough. Now bc of the mistake I did, I weight 54 kg (119 pounds) and I'm 175 cm (5’9) (bmi 17.63), and I'm so sorry about it. PLEASE, if you read this and you want to lose weight, don't do my mistake. end it at a minimum of bmi 19. It's WAY harder to gain some kg than you think, so please don't do what I did. Stay healthy.

[@koojungmo1714]

What workout did you do ? and what do you eat for a day ?

[@itzcailee3541]

[@milky.orange3508]

I’m 5’4 and I weigh 101 lbs. I usually eat less than 1 meal a day, and I don’t have any kind of eating disorder, I eat when I’m hungry, stop when I’m full, I play volleyball 2-3 times a week for hours for 2-4 hours per session (depending on if it’s a practice or a tournament) I’m not sure if my weight is healthy or not

[@hunter09233]

@Creeper Freak well she’s older than you So

[@thisaestheticwrld]

[@cat-di5tn]

Hi, I’m 5’4 103. We are both considered underweight but if you feel okay then you are probably okay.

[@lugzthegriffin287]

I’m underweight currently,and I got my own disability,(not mentally,just embarrassingly) I weigh less than my actual brother who is shorter and younger than me,anyone else experiencing this? Now I gotta eat more to become a turkey

[@michaelasssxdd258]

[@TinaLouise73]

I am severely underweight but i have 0 appetite and i weigh 7 stone now at 50 years old my muscle mass is now becoming less I hate this its just as bad being ana as it is being overweight 😐

[@imnobody1270]

severe underweight all my life. people see this as a good thing. personally i don't care much. i try to eat more but it doesn't help.

[@shahanshahpolonium]

I'm almost 17, I am 170cm and 52 kg, which makes me slightly underweight

[@taorostrickland6643]

I think ? I'm too underweight & unhealthy at 70 kilos. My height is 168 cm & i'm a 49 year old male. Does anyone know what my correct body weight should be. Thanks

[@yurelles]

I eat a lot yet I'm still underweight why?

[@zoeymew8]

Mabye fast metabilsm? I Also wish i could eat alot while being skinny but everybody is different

[@nabila6401]

Maybe you think you're eating a lot but actually you're eating less than you should

[@trixieagustina6163]

@The Violinist Nope, having a fast metabolism and staying underweight is NOT a gift.

[@mg-sp5ou]

@The Violinist i also have fast metabolism which lets me eat whatever I want and whenever I wish. but sometimes it's just annoying. having a model like skinny body is cool if you're really a model. but usually everybody tells you to eat more and that if you gained a couple of kilos you'd look prettier. btw is there a risk that I won't be able to give birth?? I'm really concerned (168; 44 kg)

[@glaciveestudios6170]

Train your muscles and move more. And eat more than what you think is a lot. Eat 3 meals a day

[@violette8969]

i’m 11, 5”3 and 37kg. before i got sick i was around 42kg :/ now i’m back to being a skeleton again. i don’t know how to gain weight and make it sho on the outside. or maybe it’s because of genes

[@Boxingshorts234]

Don't lose hope.. you'll gain some weight. Wait for it.

[@mushroom_oli4740]

I’m underweight and I think I’ve been my whole life and I’ve been made fun of for it... By classmates and family... sometimes friends but not really. I gained some pounds thankfully but I’m still underweight (im 4’10) Idk how much I weight

[@tchaikovsky.p]

Same with me I'm 5'3 and weigh 36kg, and people can be horrible sometimes.

@@tchaikovsky.pwell how old are you :)

[@gensoyuuki86]

i don't know if im underweight, i eat a lot but Im 36kg. also my height is only 149cm , 20 years old female. maybe im just mildly underweight cause it all depends with the height.

[@O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O]

I would rather be underweight that overweight

[@stellapatton7700]
