Eat meat.  Youll need the protien to build muscle.  And work out your arms chest and back 2-3 times a week.  Do high wieght / low reps (Don't do too much or you will hurt yourself) .  This will build your muslce faster.  Low weight high reps will just tone you.  It is probably best you start on machines as well because they help you keep correct form and give you more control as far as the amount of resistance.  Try doing pushups with weights on your back(start low), and look into buying a small dumbbell set.

You can do exercises to build the muscles around the breasts, and gain weight.  Basically, carry a tray like a waitress, and work those muscles.\n\nRejoice in the beauty and uniqueness of your own body and be happy.

Drinking tea does not change the fat to muscle and that is what you need to do. I suggest you do the following; exercise daily by walking, hiking, playing basketball, etc. You can also lift weights to become more defined in your upper chest area and build your arms. Sit ups are good for the tummy.\n\nEat properly; pleanty of water, no sodas, limit fats, lots of veggies, fruits and good lean meats that are broiled not fried.

You can do several exercises that target your pectoral muscles (the muscles under the breasts) which will eventually give you the appearance of larger breasts.  Breasts are composed primarily of fat; you can try to gain weight as another suggested, but you have no guarantee it will go where you want it to go.  *L*\n\nJoin a gym, get some home exercise equipment and work on building your chest muscles and reducing your waist.  A small waist will also help create the illusion of larger breasts.

You need to work out with weights, and eat as much protein and high-grade cereal grains as you can.  My Steve was always skinny until he took almost two years where he was doing very little besides eating and sleeping and working out with weights.  He built himself up to where he was very strong and wiry.  You'll probably never have bulging muscles, but you can be strong and sleek, and look like several million dollars.

If you're underweight, and your bones stick out, try gaining some weight. Lots of women love to have a guy with a little meat on his bones. Don't dress like a nerd either. Don't get overweight, just average.

wear a full sleeves shirt and role up the sleeves to show your whole forearms, well built forarms look incredibly attractive and are a sure sign of a worked out body, keep your top two buttons open to show a bit of your chest, stay away from vertical strips they make you look more selender as opposed to broad-chested, solid colours and whites are better and make you look strong as well as clean. Don't wear skin tight things they don't suit everyone. if you have a good body now, you will look wonderful in a full suit. Good luck with your body works

No time for the gym ... then run around your neighborhood. Do push-ups at home if you want to specifically target the chest and triceps. But Push-ups alone won't do it, still gotta get plenty of cardiovascular exercise.

You must realize that each of your breasts are not one entire muscle. There are several within each breast. You can develop one part, and leave the other looking a little "schlanky". The best type of excercises would involve bench pressing though. You need a bench that includes incline, decline, and flat bench abilities. Each of these will build a different muscle group within your chest. \n If you do not have a bench, find a steep hill, face downhill, and do some pushups. If you are not used to this, you will feel it pretty quickly. When you have done a few sets of those, face uphill, and do more. You'll have to do more facing uphill, as you are not lifting as much weight.\n Also, if you can push two tables just further than shoulder-width apart, you can do dips on them. No, not chips and dip, but hold yourself by your hands alone, lift your legs, then slowly lower your body untill your upper arms are parallel with the ground, then raise yourself back up. That will work the muscles right around the sternum. \n You may also want to try "flies". You'll need two dumbells, and a bench for these. The starting position would be to hold the dumbells up and infront of you as if they are a single bar. Then spread your arms apart untill they are both parallel with the ground, then bring them back together. Make sure you keep your arms locked out, or you will be cheating yourself.\n Once you feel you are getting somewhat "fit" in your upper-body, you can try upside down pushups. These will require a wall, and a little bit of balance, so avoid these while drunk. Prop yourself against a wall, feet in the air (on wall), holding yourself off the floor by your feet. You should look sort of like you are doing a hand stand. Lower your body slowly being careful not to use your head to take weight off your arms, then push yourself back up.\n Of course, these will develop the muscle, but they will not likely burn up any fat you have covering the muscles. The best way to get rid of the fat so you can show those newly acquired pecs is to do at least 20 mins of aerobic excercise (jogging is best) three times per week. If that still doesn't work, watch what you eat.

Hit a fast food restaurant for every meal.  Make sure you get the "biggy" size.--thats if you want to gain 20#s of fat.  Work out and get a physical trainer if you want to gain 20#s of muscle but that might be unachievable for most people.\nGood Luck?

Love and Accept Yourself for who you are, and do the same toward your body.\n\nSelf-Love is so very Important.  \n\nIf you definately decide you want them bigger, without surgery,  do  this:\n\nBuy a Incline, Decline bench.\n\nUse Dumbell weights only.\n\nStart out very light and over time build up in weight.\n\nThe exercises:\n\n1 - Incline bench press  3 sets of 10\n2 - Decline bench press 3 sets of 10.\n3 - Flat bench press  3 sets of 10.\n4 - Flys - Incline bench  3 sets of 10.\n5 - Flys - Flat bench  3 sets of 10.\n\nEach workout will take approximately 45 each.\nWorkout 3 to 4 times a week, alternating days.\nYou should always have a day of rest for the muscles.\nDo this consistently for at least two years, and even if you stop after that, its alright. Why ?  Because the muscle you have created for the breasts/pectoral muscles, after a while turns into fat.  "Women's breasts are really simply fat, of various sizes and shapes !!"  And Most importantly: "Be Very Patient for your results in the increase in size!!"\nIt takes time,  but as your patience and consistence with your workouts,  Will  pay off  for you !!!\n\nAlways drink a full glass of water b4 and after the workouts.  you might want to make a protein shake daily (go to GNC) to help as well.\n\nAnd  a Good multi-vitamin, and  the antioxidents  Vitamin  C  and  Vitamin  E  should always be taken daily.\n\nMost of all,  Love and Accept  Yourself\n\nGood Question,  \n\nTHANK  YOU,    R.N. - with Masters Degree.

try some wieght lifting to pump up your arms. It will eventually have muscles after steady training. And hollow cheeks are cool. I say just leave it. Or else, eat heaps of protein and calcium and watch fat fill up your cheeks and arms.

Take things like a flavored rice cake and apple for a morning snack, Maybe a slimfast shake.  A preportioned unsalted bag of  almonds or peanuts could be a good snack as well.  Just make sure you bring them from home, otherwise you will get hunger and continue to eat the best of a terrible list of foods offered at school.  \n\nAs for your other question, muscle is always going to have more mass than skin and bones will, but will not give you the appearance of being fat.  Skinny is not healthy and is unrealistic for most girls.  Focus on health and you will look your best.

I'm a little underweight, I'm so skinny you could see my ribs. \nThe only thing I would change is gain a little so my ribs didn't show, but no matter what I do, I can not gain.
