And thats actually come up from the small 7 inches and 15. My waist is like 26 and my hips and rear is 34. Im looking to add muscle and it seems like just working out alone is not enough. I feel like my legs look like tooth picks and i cant lie i constantly get made fun of. Everyone always says that i will gain weight when i get older But two kids later and still no weight. Im in great health but just am looking to improve my body. Can anyone give me some advice. I would really apprecitate it. Thanks loads Stacey
You are your own worst critic Stacey...most girls would kill to have a bod like yours..Bob is right on..give us your training and diet methods.go into detail..you are probably overtraining and need to lighten up in that aspect of your training..you cannot gain weight if you burn it all off..You probably are not getting near enough protien and calories either.Evryones metabolism is different..there will come a time in your life where you will begin to gain wieght more easily than now..trust me.Ps..you do not want to gain "fat" you want to build lean muscle..I know you can do this..you just need to formulate a plan and stick with it..it is very difficult for me to gain weight..i have to keep up with my cals and try and not go to gym too much..get back to us..many on here can help you..dennis
