A member asked:
I have a high metabolism and can't gain weight. im 19, i had a baby at 16 and i only weigh 100 now. what should i do?

Nothing: At 19, you are not fully mature. Full adult physical maturity occurs at 25. I would suggest that you continue eating properly and exercising regularly. Be happy that you are thin - it's better than being fat! the weight will come soon enough - no rush there! if you really feel you have a high metabolism, then have your fp check your thyroid with a TSH blood test.
