Have you set up a food diary here?
A lot of people on SparkPeople site said this and it is very true, for I have a lot of trouble adding extra calories to my dinner or breakfast without adding too many carbs... I have yet to make up my food entries, but I am soon to get round to doing so, I just had to make up my profile as I only began on here today. ^_^
What's wrong with carbs?
And to answer your more calories question, the answer is always peanut butter
I'm to be having peanut butter on my toast in the morning and I've heard they aren't very good if wanting to maintain a certain weight, for many years I have been wanting to keep to a certain weight but now, I just want to stay petite and slim yet tone up as much as I can.
Which lifting program are you following?
I dont follow any, only my own. sorry but I prefer it that way as I am autistic and don't like things being different, so I stick to a certain routine so it fits around my everyday routine I already have.
Then, unless you are very experienced, there is a risk that you might not be providing your body adequate and well balanced stimuli which can unfortunately lead to less than optimal or very poor muscle gain.
Please understand I am autistic and I like routine
I, I'm sorry if I annoyed you 2 -
I'm nothing but useless... Im pathetic... I shouldn't be living...2

Of course not! I just want to let you know so you are aware. So many people waste time trying to do their own routine and spend years not making progress, we all want to see you succeed! It can't hurt to take a look at them to see if they fit your schedule, it is a lot of work coming up with your own (at least I have found it to be the case). You can use many as a template/guide and tailor it to your own needs. Here is a list you can check out.

Also I do apologize if I came off a certain way I quoted you but missed the part about your needs. Thank you for letting us know4 -

I don't think you've annoyed anyone. People want to help you be successful in reaching your goals. The programs are designed to be effective, but if that won't work for you, you need to realize your progress may be slower. Look over the linked thread and see if any of those are something you can adapt them in a way that suits you.3 -
also to get that toned look you have to lose fat over the existing muscle you have. you do that in a deficit of calories. you cant tone a muscle. so either you need to gain and build muscle and gain some fat(it goes on where it want to go,you cant control where). you can always do a cut later and lose the fat you do gain in a deficit too.1

you need one of the programs mentioned in the other posts. you should not be working your arms every day with weights. you need a day or so of rest. same with chest exercises. you need to work your whole body if possible not just upper body.1 -

no you dont give up. you keep going. find a free lifting program. there should be a few, also fitness blender.com have free lifting videos which may help. they arent part a progressive lifting program but they will get you in shape and they are free(they do have some paid ones but you dont have to buy those. you could start there. they have free 5 day programs too. I workout at home because I cant afford the gym.1 -
@psuLemon could you maybe help her out?1

I am only getting back in my diet again so please bear with me, I know it seems rather straight forward but I can only manage to fit it all in where friends and family cannot know I am doing all this... I dont want them knowing as I am scared it may make them treat me differently after knowing what I'm capable of...
you need one of the programs mentioned in the other posts. you should not be working your arms every day with weights. you need a day or so of rest. same with chest exercises. you need to work your whole body if possible not just upper body.
I do things from home, Im struggling to literally do much of anything hardly... I should just give up...
no you dont give up. you keep going. find a free lifting program. there should be a few, also fitness blender.com have free lifting videos which may help. they arent part a progressive lifting program but they will get you in shape and they are free(they do have some paid ones but you dont have to buy those. you could start there. they have free 5 day programs too. I workout at home because I cant afford the gym.
No, I need someone to make a list of exercises like what I showed you on here, researching things on my own is too much for me to handle. I'm sorry I I cant do it. its too much for me. Im not jumping from one site to another, Im already using SparkPeople.com and this site to get answers, too much information and I'll just feel sick with it. 2 -

okay thank you, I guess but could someone please give me a routine I could go by as a weekly planner? in the way I showed one to you all on here already? I'd be able to handle things much better if someone could do that to help me out. 1
