same as a lb of feathers or a lb of lead really

Excellent :) Free bike it is then! I have calorie shakes that I can drink to help me on the days I do the resistance and I am guessing my appetite will increase after exercise.

Thanks :)

Would a "bike" machine help? - the ones you sit on and ride like a bike- no idea what they are called I am only asking as my brother has one he is giving away. Does this class as cardio though? or would it class as resistance if I set the level hard enough?

I like the sound of resistance training. I think once I have gained more weight then I can look at "toning" it. in the future

(If you look at the fourth picture in my profile - binkini pic) I would love to have a wider stomach/hip area and bigger thighs. As you can see in the picture my hip bones are still a bit visible and I have slim thighs. My goal weight is 10 stone ( I am not sure what measurement I would be) This will sound stupid but I…

(Maybe they just assumed I strength train?)

Is that possible on no exercise?

Thanks again :) Is there a chart that can tell me what measurements I should be or what is considered healthy? I tried looking online but its a bit confusing.

Resistance training? is that more about pushing your body against weights? Such as pushing your legs against something? or is it more about holding a position for a while (such as a push up) I am open to try things which I can do at home and without having to use weights.

I have had my blood suger levels tested et (as well as metabolism and what not) All came back normal :) is there any way to test your body fat percentage? so I can check to see if it IS replacing muscle?

Thank you :) I will have to get myself a flexible tape measure. Is it best to breath in or out when measuring? Or just keep as calm as possible to avoid movement? I have seen woman measure their stomachs before and they always seem to breathe in

I cant have children..... :/

Thank you for the advice But everyone keeps mis-reading this question! I only wanted to know if anyone else has experience this with the scales not changing but their body changing. I am still waiting for someone to reply to my question XD

I have gone to numerous doctors. All have confirmed I am UNDERWEIGHT. I do have a weight issue.

How do I take measurements? Would it be measuring my thighs hips stomach and bust? (I have never measured myself before so haven't a clue where to start)

Where did it say I am concerned I don`t look as thin as I use to? My goal is to GAIN weight. I HATE looking thin. I ma THRILLED I look fatter I posted this as my body looks FATTER but the scales have not CHANGED. I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this

I posted this to see if anyone else has experienced no change on the scales but a change in their body appearance. I think everyone is mis-reading the post. I am underweight according to my doctor. So I do have a weight issue. As mentioned numerous times I do not wish to lift. Thank you

I do not wish to gain muscle. I only want to gain fat which so far I am trying to accomplish with my diet I posted this to see if anyone else has experienced no change on the scales but a change in their body appearance. I think everyone is mis-reading the post.

Thank you for the advice but I do not go to the gym or light weights ect. Its not something I want to ever do or include in my lifestyle. I am fit and healthy in all other aspects apart from being a little underweight.

I have never thought about taking my measurements, is it your thighs stomach and bust line that you measure?

No offence but I am not into lifting or gaining muscle/abs ect But thanks for your input :)

Thank you for actually reading my post and giving me advice on foods to add to my diet

Please read properly. I have noted in all my posts I am seeing a therapist. Just because I am mentally unwell in your eyes does not mean I cannot talk to people on here. I was not aware you had to be perfect to ask for advice ....

If you actually read my first post I am seeking help. Asking for people's opinions on if I look skinny is not a crime so please stop it. I am already seeing a therapist. And people do comment about my weight in public. Ive had someone shout comments whilst passing me in a car . Its not in my head.

I'm 22 and met my significant other via online dating. Talked for around a month before meeting so we knew each other better. Been together almost three years now and have our first house :) Internet dating isnt for everyone, you have to weed out a lot of the "players" or "weird ones" first. I sometimes use to get very…

looking at your profile pic haha probably not XD

In the zombie way?

Why are you asking people to stop looking at my pictures and to stop giving me their opinion. ? I have never felt so degraded then you have just made me feel I can see your comments you know

This is really patronising. I have the freedom to ask people's opinion of me
