Am trying to gain 15 20 pounds. It's very hard to gain weight for me. All my life I have been thin but really want to try and gain.

    The simple answer is: eat more.
    But,
    what's your exercise regimen like? You may want to start a strength training program as well.

    Did you set your goal to gain when you set up your account (I would recommend half pound or quarter kilo a week since you have so little to gain, unless your intention is to gain as much fat and as little lean mass as possible).
