I want to gain weight, but I do not want to over do it. How can I gain weight and keep it at a healthy weight. I am 118lbs now. I would like to gain at least 12lbs

Muscles weighs more than fat.

I have to ask ... why do you want to gain weight? I've always had a really fast metabolism, and would make myself sick trying to gain weight. The thing is, some people are just skinnier. I eat healthy; I even became a vegetarian about a year ago. I exercise. I don't weigh myself. As long as I'm healthy, why would I?

Exercise/training is a good idea, like the others said.
Greek yogurt might also be worth a try, helps balance out the gut bacteria and is probably a better source of fat than chocolate. I usually have it with some fresh fruit.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
