You sound like a fine weight to me. I'm a couple of inches shorter than you and 95 pounds, and I'm skinny. So yeah...
But if you do want to gain weight, it would be healthier to gain it through muscle than fat. That doesn't mean that you have to become a body builder, but that your legs won't get bigger and wobbly, they'll get bigger and toned. Do you know what I mean? To do that, you can buy protein shakes and work out an excersize regime that involves weight lifting. For example - squats but hold them down for longer to build up muscle, and use weights with your arms at the same time.
Blessed Be,

*ashlee* answered Tuesday April 5 2005, 6:23 pm: why do you want to gain weight? im 16 and im about 5'4" and i weigh exactly 100. i dont look deathly ill or anything but i damn sure dont look fat. your size seems fine. besides as you get older youll start gaining more wieght anyway. everyone does, so if you get too much bigger now youll get really fat later.

esbeautiful1313 answered Tuesday April 5 2005, 4:55 pm: Well first of all, muscle weighs more than fat, so don't try over eating...you need to work those muscles!!
Secondly, you do need to eat alot, but it should still be healthy food (well obviously some sweets are okay)!!
Here are some other tips from a weight website:
1) Count how many calories you eat in a normal day. Don't change anything, just eat like you normally would and count how many calories you consumed. This is an extremely important step, so try to be as exact as possible. Also, weigh yourself.
2) Starting the day after you counted calories, eat 500 calories MORE then you normally do. So, lets pretend that the day you counted calories you counted 2000. For the rest of the week, you would now eat 2500 calories a day. Instead of eating 3 big meals a day or eating all day all the time, spread those calories out over 5-6 smaller meals. Eat one meal every 2 and a half to 3 hours. To get big, you have to eat big! Remember that.
3) Weightlifting! Get in the gym and lift! This is another important step to how to gain weight, so make sure you are doing it correctly.
4) At the end of that week, weigh yourself. You'll notice your gaining just after one week! Now, don't expect to see a 10lb increase. Gaining anymore then 1 or 2 pounds a week is unhealthy and means your putting on way to much fat. So look for 1 or 2 pound gains at the end of the week. Don't sound like much? You can be gaining 5-8 pounds a month!
5) Heres an important one. At some point, you will stop seeing weight gain. At this point, you will have to eat even more. So, when you stop gaining for at least 2 weeks, it means it is time to start eating an extra 250 calories a day. Every time you see you haven't gained weight for at least 2 weeks, add an extra 250 calories. [ esbeautiful1313's advice column | Ask esbeautiful1313 A Question ]
