Karen answered Sunday March 6 2005, 9:01 am: I am just like you, I am your age and I weigh the same and I have a very fast metabolism and it's hard for me to gain weight also. If you want to gain weight, you need to start eating more calories than you usually do; anywhere around 500 more. Try eating more foods with carbs but make sure they aren't fatty foods. You should try talking to a doctor about this because there are shakes and other things that you doctor can tell you about so you can gain weight.

You might have inherrited or something.

Also, I have this site that tells you exactly how to gain weight and build muscle. Go to [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) and click on "articles." Then click on "What should I eat?"
FunkyHoMoSapien answered Sunday March 6 2005, 8:28 am: its hard to gain wieght with a high metabolism. but the best thing to do to get those abs is to just start working out, cause if your trying to get great abs and gain wieght, it's not gonna happen... you need to chose cause your metabolism will stay with you until your about 18 to 21, then it will slow down. so u might conider just working out to get your abs now. i'm not sure if this is the kind of advice your looking for... but i hope i helped [ FunkyHoMoSapien's advice column | Ask FunkyHoMoSapien A Question ]

talk to your doctor. He may be able to give you a shake or a pill that helps you gain weight. Or you could take protein shakes. These will also allow you to workout and get better abs.
If it doesnt work you could sign up for cheerleading in the winter. A lot of girls, including me, on my squad do that. It helps give you practice and helps you workout and stay healthy.
