In general I'm…

Help - my brain is too stubborn!
Hi, After spending years trying to be slim, and then even slimmer, I've decided to turn my entire eating/working out mentality on it's head and attempt to add some lean muscle mass.

I would like to gain roughly ten pounds and tone throughout my body. I'm 5' 6" and 100 lbs. I do 20-30 squats and 20-30 lunges every day, 20-30 bench push-ups, and workout my core for about fifteen minutes every day. Several times a week I hike for about an hour or two. My concern is that I haven't gained a pound, although…

Making use of SPAM
It's starting to heat up here in NW Minnesota and every year without fail when it gets warm enough I lose my appetite and it's easier said than done to get a realistic amount of calories down because I do the whole commuter bike thing. I've also got about six things of spam sitting in my pantry, which would've been donated…

Need to burn the belly fat but I lift (building glutes)
I'm incredibly new to lifting. At first I was focused on shredding the belly fat by eating 1200 a day since I have a desk job. Now, since focusing more on weights, I've gone up in (muscle) pounds (but lost a half inch). Which is no problem. However, do I need to continue doing minimal cardio and up my calories in order to…

Small girl wants to be toned and strong?
I'm 108 lbs and over the summer I got really into distance running, which is great because since I was small I lead a pretty lazy lifestyle. As I'm getting more into health and fitness I've decided to drop running and start with training for strength and endurance. The only thing is I don't often have access to weights and…

Uncomfortable with feeling full
I'm in the process of recovering from anorexia, and while getting myself to actually eat has become much easier, I'm having a huge problem with feeling full. After seemingly only a few bites, I feel uncomfortably full. Stuffed, more than satiated. Now, this can happen after something as small as 2 or 3 apple slices. I'll…

Anyone else have days where they don't get full??
Hello all, Obviously, this isn't the worst problem for someone to have when the goal is weight gain, but I just wanted to make sure it was normal(ish) to have days where there is almost no satiation (or maybe have it, but it is very fleeting). I have been eating good, filling foods, but I just feel like I should be more…
