Hi Allen, I can not gain weight either. I am 5'2" 101, when I was younger I weighed 115 but all muscle. I have a small frame, I am grateful though that I do not have to carry the 14 pounds around, lol. I have anxiety and blame that for not dancing which would give me larger muscles which weigh more - I do miss my ballet. This is motivating me, I will dance today! Thanks Allen! My only child went to heaven on September, 4, 2020 - I think I am still grieving - I miss him so much.

Yes I have trouble maintaining my weight and holding it as I have lost as much as 5 lbs in 3 days as Dr. told me not to loose weight but I do work out on 2 machines 3 times a day. I eat 3 healthy meals a day including 2 ice cream cones.
