how can i gain weight?
hey, i need some help. i'm a 16-yr-old girl, 110 lbs, and 5'6. i'm really skinny. i guess there's some good from that, like not worrying about eating something yummy with a huge amount of calories in it. but still, i want to gain some weight before i go to college next semester (i'm graduating early). the thing is, i will probably be one of the yongest people there and i'll look very small among all those 18-20-something-yr-olds. what can eat that's healthy and rich in calories at the same time? and how can i make myself look a little older without being fake? i know, its silly but i already feel like a baby in my senior class, i don't want to feel like that in college.

Try going to a nutritionist to see what foods you should eat to gain a little weight, healthfully.

oh to have your problem!! Eat whatever you want to just eat more of it.You might be a little skinny but I think you'll do ok.On making yourself look older:experiment with makeup and hairstyles.The way you dress can have an affect on how old you look too. Check out some magazines for tips.And remember there are people who have it worse! My daughter in law has 5 kids. She is 4'3. Can wear kids clothes.She gets a kick out of buying beer!So have some fun with it!

Well, eating lot's of protien will help, and if you want to gain weight and size you should really lift weights or do some other strengh training. Also, nuts have a lot of calories (450 in one cup) and protien, so eat those!!

it doesnt matter about how big or little you are. but to gain healthy weight you should eata like fruits and grain because they have a lot of carbs. , that are healthy. to look older wear make up that is natural like tans and stuff

Ok so you said you want to gain weight right, well you shouldnt have to gain weight to fit in because your weight is normal even for a 18 yr old also. Anyways, start getting some more safistacated clothes, there probably some at filenes and Old Navy. You will probably be more mature then a lot of the college students believe me because my sis is in college and there are college students in there 3rd year who are really immature. Just get the right look and act more responsible { you probably are already} and you should be fine. Good Luck in College!!!

For gaining weight, don't just automatically go for foods high in fat and calories. You still need to eat healthy. Figure out how many calories you would eat in a normal day and add 500 to it. Try to eat foods that are high in protein, and drink lots of water. People say that the water is important because it gives you the energy you need to gain that weight. You might want to try supplemental drinks. They are used for people trying to gain or maintain weight, and some of them don't taste too bad either. I would try Ensure, or Boost. Both come in alot of flavors. Maybe try drinking one or so of those a day. Working out is really important too. Muscle gain will equal weight gain, and will make you look bigger and stronger, so get to your local gym and get on a work out program!
As for looking older, wear some makeup, but don't overdo it. I would go to one of the makeup counters at a department store and explain your situation. Most makeup counters will give you a free makeover so you can see if you like it before you buy it. They can show you how to do it so you look older, without having to put pounds of it on. Before you go to college, you might also want to get an older haircut. Sometimes a change in hairstyle can make all the difference! Good luck, hope that helped a little bit.

If you need to gain weight, try weight training, that will give you bigger muscles...
As to looking older, try to act mature, and make sure that your clothes and hair are tidy... Also it might be best to have shorter hair since most people seem to think that makes you look older...
