Resolved Question: What is the best way for me to gain weight - Please help?

Age: 19 Height: 5.6ft Weight: 9 rock It is recommend for my size to weight about 10.3 rock - I don't want to receive such weight because it is recommended for my height (I know I may still be growing, not for much longer tho) I want to receive this weight, because I don't feel well when I look myself in the mirror at times and it is really difficult for me to gain weight, always been a skinny guy, its my structure. Skinny arms and legs, and my ribs are so visible - It just upsets me at times really =( I do some gym and try eat as many calories a day as possible and I like fruit, such as bananas because they are wealthy in protein - I normally have 2 bananas and whole milk mixed together, blend it and have it for breakfast, with some cereals or coffee later on. Like most people, I have 3 meals a day too, but I can never eat much - I kinda receive to the bit where I feel well, not to where you completely full. Cant do it, and since I have constipation - It becomes real difficult at times with the intestines... (Talk about imperfection) I have a lot of fibre in my diet, since it helps with this problem. I cant stand fat food, such as bacon, pork, lamb, and every them nice of foods that have massive amounts of fat in it. So it is really difficult with every this to gain proper weight... So, I'm trying to put on weight with a supplement because I believe it works, but I want to buy something good - Because of what I've heard, these supplements later in life can give you health problems and was told to buy something good and that is not too bad for your health... Overall it is a bit confusing for me. So I'm asking help for someone who has experience or knows well about health what would recommend to me. (Please, don't tell me to eat more than usual, because it is what my doctor told me already, but it isn't easy for a guy like me to eat so much) I need a good answer please, don't just answer the question on title - I'd like someone to take the time to read the info... Top Contributor or someone willing to help with good details would be much appreciated. Other opinions/advise are welcome. Thanks in advance Supplements I was looking into: http://www.bodyactive-online.co.uk/Shopping/PdInterActive-Mammoth.asp http://www.bodyactive-online.co.uk/Shopping/pdAtlas-WtGain.asp http://www.bodyactive-online.co.uk/Shopping/pdchemical-promass.asp (My question wasn't well detailed/written on my first post - Sorry for asking twice) @ Spherical Cow thanks for the FYI - you right... I kinda got messed up - look how confused I receive trying to work this out on my possess... erffff and yes, I have no worries in drinking milk. I adore cereals + milk (also drink a lot of fresh milk throughout the day) about the 1 gallon of milk a day, sounds good, but what about water? I use to drink just skimmed milk, changed to whole milk to look if I would gain some weight or make a difference - nothing... (it has been 4 months now, also going through some problems in life, dont help much, but I did find great going to gym, felt much better after some boxing and lifting weights) It's kinda difficult =/

Open Question: Im looking for this chunky pearl necklace..popular a while ago?

lots of people used to wear them at one time which is why i didn't want one..but now it's died down i can't seem to find anywhere that does this type of necklace. i guess at one point they were selling cheap ones in primark or something because everyone was wearing them. the beads are smaller at the clasp, or the top and they gradually receive bigger in size as the necklace goes down. the only way i can describe it is as a chunky pearl necklace, sorry : / here's a similar one: http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3183/2977811314_d661431389.jpg&imgrefurl=http://woomeover.com/blog/%3Fpaged%3D13&usg=__bqrWvCnvXDjqrQc_o2c27jylVA8=&h=338&w=259&sz=13&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=CxY6wDzwWvhW3M:&tbnh=139&tbnw=93&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dchunky%2Bpearl%2Bnecklace%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DX%26rlz%3D1R2DKUK_en%26biw%3D1259%26bih%3D852%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=115&vpy=500&dur=363&hovh=257&hovw=196&tx=119&ty=243&ei=fjh9TN6-L9W6jAfqrIHTDg&oei=TTh9TKTfBqbc4waY3bztBQ&esq=7&page=1&ndsp=37&ved=1t:429,r:29,s:0 and i wanted to find a silver chrome looking one, like really-shiny-look-your-reflection chrome, i saw one recently on a mannequin on holiday but didn't have time to go back and buy it. it would be really helpful if you've seen some and could tell me which store (i'm in the uk, london to be exact), or a link for an online store.... Thankyou :)
