Well since I started my diet, I've lost just over 10 lbs. I've been trying to take it 10 at a time, so I think this is good progress.. I still got at least a good 40 to go for my personal goal. (As I said I haven't asked the doctor yet.) So far diet and exorcize is working though. I may have to post about my progress in the happy thread eventually but I wanna wait till I lose a bit more.

I envy the people who can't gain weight.

LOL @FarmXD

Do u even lift? :awesome:

1) exercise (needs to include all the things, a well rounded workout since it's pretty hard to just target one body part, abs for example)
2) eat lean protein (fish or chicken) in the ratio of 1.2g per lb of body weight you want to be at.

So, if you wanna put on 10lbs of muscle, (your current weight + 10lbs) * 1.2 = grams of protein you should eat daily.
(this is assuming you don't need to lose weight, that's sortof a different process, but it sounds like you're at a good place where you could start this)

I used to think this was kinda BS till I tried it.
Comes down to whatever works for you though.

haha thanks turns out my mother just gave me the worst form of torture disguised as a "graduation gift" - a gym membership so maybs I can actually get buff this summer if I exercise eat more protein (and eat more in general I guess)

Farm, can you explain what you mean by this? Weight seems to be a concern for everyone.

True. IMO, work-related exercise* is probably the most effective way to make sure it happens, but obviously that's not something I advocate nor think most people would actively seek out.

*in my case, it was pushing shopping carts around a parking lot for 6 hours a day 3 days a week in Senior year. I actually gained some weight after I started working there because I gained muscle, but it stabilized around 132lbs and after a couple months I was pretty toned. Reason is that pushing those carts around *does* work everything. The job was hell, though.

Of course, I quit working there 9 years ago. After getting my wisdom teeth out in 2006 the weight started packing on (a month eating nothing but coffee ice cream will do that). I'm currently 160, and would prefer getting back down to ~135. I've been thinking about setting myself up on a school-like schedule where every hour on the hour I go out back and run laps for 10 minutes, then go inside and cool off/rehydrate (this is also partly because my lung capacity is awful).
