Weight

[C~Q]

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!

Will NEVER happen hon! Those woman train specifically for that...massive weight very low rep. I may get yelled out for saying this but in all my experience I have never seen a female body builder (or male for that matter) who gets like that without using steroids.

You wouldn't have enough testosterone to get that big

ETA just wanted to add that I know a LOT of unhealthy skinny people...not saying you're one of those, but skinny people tend to think that they don't need to exercise because they're not over weight. It doesn't matter what you look like on the outside...exercise is important for everyone to have a healthy heart, lungs, CV system etc

Thanks! Makes me feel at ease to know that My DF would be horrified if I ended anything like that hehe. I used to get alot of exercise, walking/riding a push bike everyday and long rides/walks were so easy for me. Then I got my drivers license and well, it all went down hill from there I get puffed out from walking up a small hill
For a while we had no car and my DF was off his feet due to an accident with a sword and his foot....(long story there!) and I had to walk 2kms up to the shop every other day for shopping, and it wasn't so bad other than the horrible heat!! But now the car is back, it's back to being lazy again I guess it doesn't help me being a shy person around others which stops me from doing any form of exercise in public areas (gym, parks etc) But Getting over this weight thing might (hopefully) boost my courage too
