New Weight Gainer!!!

in Introduce Yourself
Hi All,
I finally started gaining some weight after 9 years of being really skinny!! I'm 25, 5'11", and my stable weight was around 9st.
Pathetically thin, barely any muscle, and now that's changing. I started gaining weight recently, no idea why, but not going to question it (it's appearing on me so it's not a giant tumour!!), and hit 10st 2 weeks ago, and decided if I'm gaining weight, I'm not turning into one of the lardo's I work with. So I've started working out, and tracking my nutrition in the hopes of having a nicely muscled physique with a decent fat layer (I don't want the vein popping look).
So that's my starting point, and hopefully I can make some friends here along the way.

Cheers for reading!

    Me too, I'm 104lbs and my goal is115, I'll settle for 112 though as long as I don't lose any once I get there.
    I went out of town with my fiancé a couple weeks ago and we ate restaurant/ fast food the whole time, I gained 4lbs but lost it again at home.

    I'm trying to gain as well. Still going for another 5 lbs, but overall just improving my physique being my main goal, the number on the scale not too much. Good luck on your journey

    I have a question; I do push-ups and lunges because I want to tone my arms and legs a bit, I don't use any weights but there's a space for weight on the exercise, should I put 0? Currently it's on 10 because that was the default and I didn't know what to put there.
