Here is a link to info. material I am using to complete Weight gain.

http://www.intense-workout.com/weight_gain.html

Last time I tried weight gain
I was stuck as 199 lbs for over three weeks.

What a great thread.

Thanks to everyone who has already posted. This is good motivation for me.

Ame: Congrats on your weight loss so far. That's great that you have been able to have good success. Don't worry too much about the gain this week. Just move on and continue to focus. And you need to remember that not all weight gain is fat gain. Just keep it up, girl! You're going to do great. And remember there is nothing like the feeling of improving your body. You have so many great moments ahead of you.



Zhaylin: Good luck to you too. And thanks for being brave and posting the first pictures. Just keep focusing on making good food choices.

Snowy: Good for you for starting. Like I said to Ame, you have so many great moments ahead seeing and feeling the improvements as you really get fit.

And to all the guys: Good luck in your goals to gain muscle.


As for me....

I have been working on fitness for a while now. I lifted weights regularly about 5-6 years ago and felt great. I have stayed active, but I have slacked on the weights even though I know that the weights are what made me feel so good.

I started lifting again the second week of January and have done well except for a week I was out of town.



Name: Twoshadows

Current buddy (if applicable): I talk with Moonbeam about this.

Want a buddy?: Not sure

Cheat Day (Optional):

Physical Goals: I want to gain some muscle while losing some body fat. I'm not sure about exact numbers. I'll know when I get there. But if I had to make a guess, I'd say to gain about 5-8 pounds of muscle and lose 10 pounds of bodyfat.

Days you'll exercise: Mon-Sat

Cardio Routine: 4+ days a week, varies

Weight Routine: (for now-- this changes) Mon: chest, shoulders, back. Tues: Lower body. Wed: Core. Thurs: Biceps and triceps.

Current weight: Irrelevant. Since I want to gain almost as much muscle as I want to lose of fat, I'll track my progress through jeans size and bodyfat (as soon as I find a battery for my calipers) Current jeans size: size 8, slightly loose (juniors size 11, also slightly loose.)

Why are you joining?: Because it's always nice to be doing this with a group. I hope we can all give each other good motivation. And I can't wait for everyone to be able to share their successes!

It might just be me, but I think you mixed the time with the amount of miles you ran.

Thanks for the support, guys and gals I'm pressing on to this next week and I know things will get better. Other people have commented that I'm looking slimmer and I've noticed it as well. My mom was commenting that I've been "dancing (DDR) my butt off!" I laughed. We laughed.

Took a good walk last night with a friend, as we try to do every Wednesday. My shins were killing me during the first 2/3rds of it, but eventually warmed up and the last 1/3 wasn't bad. I also retrieved my PS2 so I can go back to DDR at home.

Cardio workout(s) done Feb 18:
Squash. 45 min

Missing my workout today due to the fact I'm feeling


<<---------

Must trade in today for 1 [cheat day pass],

Cardio workout(s) done today: nothing significant
Weight workout(s) done today: push-ups
Areas of body worked today: chest, arms
Current weight: same (70kg)
Current buddy: Zhaylin
Foods consumed today: can of tuna, 2 hot dogs, two grilled sandwiches with cheese, boiled eggs and meat, banana, apple, lots of plazma
Drinks consumed today: 0,75 l of yoghurt, lots of water
Buddy's performance as a buddy (1/10): 10
Rate your buddy's progress (1/10): 9, everything I said still stands. And eurocream is similar to nutella, but better (IMO). Plazma is possible the coolest thing about living here, it's a cookie that's rich in proteins, vitamins and even minerals. Many people eat it for breakfast, especially bodybuilders, but I prefer to eat it throughout the day.

btw there was a mistake yesterday. I did pullups and crunches, I must have copied the list from someone who did no exercising and forgot to change that.

My throat is slightly sore, and I'd hate it if I got sick now.

Why are you joining? I want to have more muscle mass and still be be this weight. I'm 5'8 and physically look good, but I would like to have a leaner, tighter body. I have no desire to loose weight, just replace it with lean muscle.

I'm using a free pass today. I've had a level 7 (out of 10) headache ALL stinking day.
Why do I have a headache every single day of my life (or so it seems)? *grrr*

I've only had some jerky, a weight watchers angel hair marinara (w/zuccinni and squash), a few bites of icecream and 3 chocolate chip cookies to eat today. I've had about 20 oz of coke and will drink 20 oz water before bed. I will have gone through about 2 packs of smokes before I crash (which will be soon).

Mysterious Dreamer, what's nutella lol? I give you a 9. It's great that you're doing your exercises and your diet seems okay but you need some veggies. You're still a 10 as a buddy

ok I'm not that good of a runner yet But I want to run a marathon so maybe I should get working on that

Anyway, this sounds like a good idea. I'm not sure if I would be that good at keeping up on the logs though. I have no problem with exercising obviously and am in pretty good shape but I have some serious junk food eating issues and can't get that little bit off my lower abs.

I'll think about it...
