I have been struggling with my weight too. I weighed 110 pounds two years ago but now I am down to 98 pounds. My BMI has dropped to 18.2. The Bronchiectasis, MAC and Pseudomonas seems to deplete my ability to keep weight on. I do eat healthy and supplement with protein powder. I am able to exercise daily and still maintain a fairly good energy level. Will try to do some weights to gain more muscle mass and maybe that will help!

@ja24 My understanding is that 18.2 is an O.K. BMI. What have you been told?
My BMI is 17.6 and I am working on, trying to get it up. Hard to put the weight on with eating healthy. I do notice that what also raises the number on the scale is....lots of water. Stands to reason.
When i had been down ten pounds from where I am now, I was at nearly 90lbs and I am now at 101.77, I was so light that I was constantly tripping over myself as if I was about to fall. That ended with just that small gain in weight.
