Okay Iam 31 years old and have been pretty small all my life about 5 foot weighing about 100 to 110 pounds for some reason after I had my second child I started to lose weight I have been to the doctors and there is nothing wrong they say.After she was born I weighed about 110 and kept it on for about a year and then started to lose weight. I need to found out how to gain weight and keep it on I eat and eat and nothing I weigh about 93 pounds. When I say I eat that is no joke I can eat up to two bowls of cereals (big bowls) and then snack and then for lunch eat two sandwiches and chips then snack on cakes or sweet stuff then for dinner I will eat meat potatoes or noodles with a veg and then snack before bed. I am always sleepy and just dont feel good. So please if anyone knows what to do to help gain some pounds and keep them on I would really like the help. I dont want to take any pills to help gain weight. Dont like meds unless really needed.( if Iam sick)

I think the sugary snacks are what's making you sleepy. Try using high-protein snacks instead.
Your weight sounds OK to me, actually. My college roomate was 5' abd 92 pounds, and she didn't seem too thin. Of course, you continue to gain bone mass until you're about 30, so I guess 93 would be rather thin, but still not unhealthy.

I would try adding more protein and nuts and peanut butter...Also, 2% cheese products and milk for calcium. Maybe also try some strength training to add muscle mass?

Could it possibly be an overactive thyroid?
