At this rate I'll never be skinny. I've gained 3lbs since going back to the gym.

This is a waste of time.

Keep at it. Remember muscle weighs more than fat. Dont give up!

By exercising you are exchanging fat weight for muscle weight. That's good!

@badminton it's not good because my weight is going higher

@IAmNothing It's got nothing to do with weight. It's about fitness, cardiovascular health and ratio of fat to muscle. Weight is just an arbitrary number, a guide at best.

I've given up on ever being skinny. I'm settling for average/chubby now.

My advise is throw away the scale, because it doesn't tell you what that weight is, fat or muscle. Instead look in the mirror. Do you look fit, proportional weight, good muscle tone? Exercise greatly improves your health and your fitness, and regulates fat to muscle ratio, with the added benefit of improving your looks.
I don’t exercise, just restrict calories. If you want to be muscular, then you’re going to bulk up a bit. If you want to be slender, just cut out food.
@IAmNothing did a doctor give you a regime to follow?

@IAmNothing ask them. They would be able to do a better job at guiding you with this issue. You know, they spent 12 years of their life studying to get into that field…
Don't give up on yourself. Have you altered what you eat to coincide with your physical efforts?

It's a "One hand washes the other", kinda thing.

@checkoutanytime I've slashed my calorie count down to around 1,200
@IAmNothing it's not calories, as much as its nutrients.

How much would you have gained without going to the gym is the question....keep at it.
IAmNothing · 26-30, F
@FreeSpirit1 probably the same. Doesnt matter what I do

keep trying, low fat diet, plenty of cardio workouts, perseverance is the key.

I want to gain weight. Does hitting gym help?
IAmNothing · 26-30, F
@Fertilization seems like it
BigImo · 22-25, F
Never give up. I've been in that situation too
