  • I've no idea, lol! I thought it was new, didn't even look at the OP date.
  • It also comes down to the shape of your sternum. I've always been a skinny girl (95 mostly, at 5'5") but never had a bony sternum. Bony everything else? Yes! But not the sternum (at least not the upper part). We're all just shaped differently :)
  • I've been following Goddess Toning Program for a few weeks and have gotten great results (trying to gain) but did get bored with it, even though I added weight weekly and saw good progress. So I moved on to Strong Curves and decided to start with the beginner phase and add weight where was needed. So far so good :) I…
  • There's always youtube :) Plus there are a lot of people at the gym that would be willing to show you how it's done, you just have to ask.
  • I lift weights (Goddess toning program) 3 times per week for about an hour and walk/jog on the treadmill for 30 min 2-3 times per week. I'm 5'5" and 101 lbs :) and have been eating 2200-2300 calories for the past week and a half and have gained 1 lb (before that I ate about 1800 for a few weeks and didn't gain anything, so…
  • What is your goal, how much would you like to gain per week? IMO a week is too soon to tell if something is/isn't working, especially since 2500 calories is a lot with if you're not exercising. I eat around 2300 and exercise about 45 min a day 5-6 days a week, and am gaining about 1 lb per week. How active are you during…
  • It also matters how much you work out. I usually ate around 1000 cal per day and didn't work out much. So I figured 1800-1900 should be more than enough to gain some weight, but at the same time I started working out 5-6 days per week (3 days weights, 3 days brisk walks) and that 1900 turned out to be my maintenance. It's…
  • It's actually really simple (tho not really all that easy) :( I'm also at 100 lbs and about 5.5 and have been trying to gain weight. About a month ago I started eating about 1900 cal a day and didn't see any difference in 4 weeks. So I upped my calories to 2200 and lo and behold, I've gained almost 0.5 kg for the past week.
