Hit the gym with lifting as your goal. As a woman, you won't be putting on a ton of muscle mass even if you lift TO gain muscle mass...especially in just 2 months. You'll just add some weight AND shape AND be healthier and stronger. On top of this, eat more. Healthy stuff, of course, but eat 2-3 times more than you normally do. Good luck! Email me if you have questions. :)

You should eat lots of foods with tons of carbs and fats in them.

Eat lots of protein, fats and carbs and do some strength training to bulk up.

Consume either Ensure Plus, or Boost Plus twice per day, ontop of dailey regimes/ eatting- do not decrease.
