Getting into a calorie surplus can be hard for some

I didn't read any of the thread but the OP, but the notion of a 5"8 120lbs grown *kitten* man having hit the genetic lottery is pretty LOL.
Also, ain't nobody care about no 6 pack when you 120lbs bro....my brother had a 6 pack when he was 6 and underweight too and he ain't even a brother.
Also, eating 500 Kcals above your maintenance is very, very simple:
Do exactly what you've been doing and just as a PBJ (healthy amounts of natural PB) sandwich and 16 ozs of while milk to your routine.
Bam, problem solved. We can spend exactly like $ 7.50 a week on that if that.....maybe closer to 6 bucks actually.0 -
First question: No.

How have you been looking for work? What kind of work? How long have you been looking?
I've been frequently checking my old school's job connection website for local jobs, local government website for jobs, among other places. In the past I've also applied for other paid internships I've seen elsewhere, and just a few weeks ago I applied for a job near where I am. My focus has mostly been computer-oriented. However, I've also been looking at other jobs as well, which includes the job I last applied for. Most jobs I see are not entry level. I have had a couple internships/jobs in between, but this has been ongoing for over a year.

My head hurts...BUT...Jason if you're for real and not trolling then I can't help but have a sneaking admiration for your tenacity, patience, calmness, thick skin and ability to...ummm, I dunno, keep posting despite the onslaught!
I'm kind of thinking you must be a troll or a cyborg though ;-)0 -

How about retail, a store, a mall, a supermarket, a fast food restaurant etc?

Maybe apply for a job AT a gym0 -
I can't remember if you are in the US or the UK, but even in the UK, there are millions of people classified as unemployed. That's not just people not working, that's the number of people out of work and actively seeking jobs. That means you are competing with a LOT of other people for jobs. If you want a job, you essentially need to treat it like a job. Go visit places, send CVs/resumes, call, whatever several hours a day, each and every day.
Just like bulking, increasing strength, and just about every piece of advice you've ever gotten on the forums, you're going to get out what you put in. You need to put in the effort to get the results you want. No one can do it for you. At some point, you need to step up and get it done. And that seems to apply to most aspects of your life.0 -

I am a licensed practical nurse. I graduated in August, passed my NCLEX September 5th. Started hard-core job searching. Applied to go back to school and finish my RN. When early November hit and I was still striking out for nursing jobs, I received my acceptance to start back in school in January 2015. I immediately started applying for retail jobs (seasonal, yo!) and was interviewed and hired November 10th, orientation on the 17th, first day of work the 19th. I averaged about 32 hrs/week over the holidays and since I work hard, they offered me a part-time job, the only person they did so out of 8 seasonal employees. I go to school, work 2-3 shifts a week (12-24 hrs basically) and oh, did I mention I have four kids?
Stop making excuses, get a job, eat some damn food and lift some damn weights, or shut the hell up about it!

And I will keep looking. But please don't make it seem like getting a job is a piece of cake for everyone. Heck, I know people in my area who graduated from college years ago and still can't get a job in their field. For most of the entry level jobs I've seen, the pay is close to minimum wage. To me, your last statement makes it sound like if I land a job tomorrow I can just go out in a few days and go buy a gym membership or buy some weights.nicsflyingcircus wrote: »ForecasterJason wrote: »

My job -is- close to minimum wage. I never claimed it wasn't. In fact, I made a point of mentioning that I didn't find a job in my field, so I went ahead and found another job, any job. I work in a big box sporting goods store, selling everything from fitness equipment to bicycles and everything for team sports, tennis/golf etc. It's not my field, the pay isn't great, but it's a job and I work hard at it.
Seems like making excuses is your full-time job, too bad the pay sucks.
