Weight

[*Sparklez*]

hhhmmmm funny thing is when dh has asked our local gp about things to slow it down, they said its very rare to find anything that actually works.. Maybe go to a health food store and ask them about it, sounds exactly like my dh, excpet he goes to the loo maybe 3-4 times, same as my ds. I actually was asking my ds's specialist the other day and he said Not that he knows of, due to ds being so tall and his weight his bones pertrude out and you can see his veins etc lol bit ewwwyy.. But he said people with fast metabolisms where blessed lol.. It must be frustrating though, as much as its frustrating losing weight, i dont think anyone realises what its like trying to put it on and keep it on...

My oldest brother is the same, He is about 6"6, really skinny (more than me!) but my other brother, the middle child, is of "normal" build and has no issues with losing weight or gaining it.
I hope I can find a way to get to a 'healthier' weight! Then clothes can fit me properly!!

Thank you for the help!

Hunny when i'm training really hard I have the same thing. You can buy a pure carb powder and add that to food. Add it to a protein shake (or buy one with high carbs). PP was right...not junk food because you'll do yourself more damage.

Just remember carbs are your friend lol. Do you train at all? Also good fats, Avocad, nuts, Olives, salmon etc

I had to put on weight when I was younger. I'm 65kg now, but was 39kg. I grew really fast and wasn't in to eating and lost heaps of weight.

Go to the chemist and buy some poly-jule (sp?) and some sustagen. Thats what I used. They worked wonders.

Hi there it's your stalker! lol.

How funny I have the same problem. Except now I lost heaps of weight after DS was born as I just don't sit still.

BUT when I was a lot younger, I always struggled to put on weight. My brother got really sick one day and we were all in the hossy for weeks on end and I lost 5 kg which was a lot for me back then. Anyhoo, I ended up at the gym doing weights only (no cardio) and took those protein drinks. I put on 6 kg and kept it on ever since. So I was really happy that I could put the weight back on. Of course as I got older the weight just seemed to stay on as my metabolism slowed down.
But now back to square one, I am too skinny once again, with an acive 14 mo.

Ahhh Miss.B, I am getting quite used to having a regular stalker now I have thought about the gym, but I'm too scared I will end up like one of those body building woman that look realllllyyyy scary I want to walk more, just to get fit again (Got soooo lazy) But it is hard to get DF motivated to walk, as he needs to lose a bit of weight on top of my being unfit

Thank you all for your help and advice, and your own experiences!
