I am thinking of starting weight training to gain muscle and tone out but ive been told that I should eat first and gain my weight so that im at an average weight and then weight train so i have fat to turn into muscle

are these people right? or should i start weight training now?

I'm 122 at 5"8 1/2. thats about 8 pounds underweight but it's mostly fat.im just curious on what i should do to gain GOOD weight

Start building muscle NOW, supported by good nutrition. Fat doesn't 'turn into' muscle - they're two completely different types of body tissue. Weights will reshape your body and a few added pounds of muscle will make a world of difference!

Agreed, with a big emphasis on GOOD NUTRITION. and proper food will help with those problem spots and give you lovely muscle.

thanks for the advice guys. I will definately start now

I looked everywhere for weights but couldnt find them. but i found a two taebo videos, one that is basic training and the other is a total body workout. it comes with resistance bands not weight. Should I try this instead? Are resistance bands good for gaining muscle as well?

You can get quite a good workout with resistance bands. It's hard to know when you're "upping" the weight/resistance though. Have you tried looking at Wal-Mart for weights - it's where I got mine. Don't know where you're located, but maybe a Sports Authority, or Play it Again Sports? It's nearly impossible to wear them out, so used ones are just as good as new!
