My GP wouldnt take me seriously and a dietician said i was doing everything correctly. Was a mystery why I didnt gain weight really.
Quite happy in my own skin now at 8/10.

I have always been a skinny woman too until recently. I was 7st 11lb for years,then went up to 8st 3lb and stuck there for ages,I am now 8st 11lb and looking a lot healthier(I am 5'4"). All I did to achieve this was quit smoking and start eating healthy foods at regular meal times,I also work out with weights now as much as I can and as muscle weighs more than fat I have gained that way too :-)
Have a word with your doctor/dietician if you're worried. I'm 5ft. 7ins. and weighed in at 8st. 5lbs the last time I looked. Might've touched 8.5 by now, but it's the natural way for all our family. Eating a healthy diet which contains protein and carbs, coupled with exercise, should build muscle, but so long as you're fit and healthy, I think weight is over-rated. It wouldn't do if we were all the same, but also remember that you're in your teens, and have time to grow.
