Hello

Was not to sure which category to put this under. Well I am a 33 year old female and I am 5'1 and weight about 95 or 96 lbs. I think I am underweight. But I eat like a pig. I am not picky at all with what I eat. So how would I go about gaining weight? What should I weight? I used to work out and all but stopped when I moved to MD. I would like to start up again. Would you suggest any certain excercises? And any other advice feel free to comment.

Well I have the same problem even though I eat like a pig but I went on a site to check your bmi(bmi= body mass index) and to be normal weight you have to be 98 pounds so your only 2 or 3 pounds underweight don't worry about it. If you want to check out the site for yourself its : Calculate your BMI - Standard BMI Calculator (http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/)

Yes you are slightly underweight, for 5,1 the ideal weight is between about 98lb and about 130lb so you don't really need to worry, you most likely just have a fast metabolism which allows you to eat a lot but not gain any weight :)
