Peeps, I am in the same boat as J12345678, I eat and eat and might gain a pound every three months. Yet I have been this way ALL my life. I stand 5' 5" and normally weigh in at 110 lbs. My advice is to see a doctor and be tested for thryoid function first, Celiac disease second if thryoid is okay, and keep up with your dental care. Also make sure you are taking a vitamin and mineral supplement that actually works, I use Vitality from Melaleuca which is 10x more absorable then store brands and I feel the difference. Also add more carbs and protien to your diet while still exercising.... do not forget about the cardio health.
My doctor has never been concerned with my wieght status since it stays consistant. But I was checked for thyroid and Celiac disease just to rule it out.
My new health concerns are not weight related: I have cervical dysplasia (severe on the brink of cancer), a herniated lower lumber disc, and a sufferer of IBS. Since I am currently 41 years old - a smoker - and a women he suggest I start taking Vitamins and stop smoking (of course). I tried several over the counter and online vits but never felt any different until someone pointed me to Melaleuca's supplements.
