How can I gain weight?
I've lost another five pounds in the last two months. I'm now down to 153,
BMI 21.0. I'd like to weigh 168, BMI 23.0. Is carb snacks the only way to get there? Thanks. -- Nick. Support severely wounded and disabled Veterans and their families!

Your meals seem small to me, are they? How many meals and snacks a day are you having? Like the salad you just posted about. I'd lose a ton of weight with meals like that. |

Doesn't have to be carbs. Could be nuts, seeds, avocados, eggs, cheese, meat, or foods that are higher in calories than carrots and celery. |

How can I gain weight?
Why do you want to gain wieght?..i know you had health issues where you
wanted to maintain a certain weight..but a male can be very healthy at 12 percant body fat. If it was me i would be more concerned with lean muscle mass then fat. If you really want to gain..why not increase caloric intake with protiens and non spiking carbs and bring muscle building exercise into it?

I normally eat one meal a day, but my daughter has been bringing me snacks, several hours before of after Jun makes my dinner. More sausage and cheese omelettes in the ofing, too. Jun's been berating me. Says every morning she wants to make me breakfast, but I say I'm not hungry. The night befo 7/21/08 Before dinner BG 99. Had eggplant, clams, shrimp and garlic in a 3-cheese marinara sauce.One hour PP BG 127. Two hour 145. Three hour 120. Too much store-bought marinara, I guess. ;-( Take care. -- Nick.

I like all of those, although I have Jun shell the seeds for me. ;-) How ya doin'? Saw yer post about the meter strips. Tough break. When I've had strips fall on the floor, I just winnowed them and put them back in the container. But then, I'm a slob. ;-( -- Nick. Support severely wounded and disabled Veterans and their families!

Hey, Krom & Nicky, Started exercising today. Did six warmup routines and five arm exercises. Couldn't do all ten reps on the last two arms, but got 7 or 8. Tomorrow, waist and maybe abs, instead of arms. Next day, thighs. Then increasing the muscle groups worked at each session. I'm shooting for brisk walks in the next week or two and resistance training in the next month or two. Thanks for the support, encouragement and push! Take care. -- Nick.

And GOOD FOR YOU! Thanks, Nicky. I owe a lot of it to you and Krom. No, I'm not into 'no pain, no gain'. I do push for the rep I can't complete and then I end that set or station for that session.

I recomened a light full body workout with resistance 3 days a week to start
with 2 cardio because if you simply start with a split routine the chances of injury are higher because your concentrating the work on one area a time..rather then getting your entire body used to working out again..you likely to do more then u should for a single part then full body because your mindset full body different then say "blasting your biceps". To ensure i behave i am leaving my free weights alone and using resistance bands..they are great keep me in check..lol KROM "Nick Cramer" > wrote > Thanks, Krom.

Jun has one of those, which I could use. There are a bunch of 7 to 10 year old boys in the neighborhood, who treat me like something between one of them and an honored old man. I would disappoint them if I sat down in the middle of a walk. I don't care what the adults think. -- Nick. Support severely wounded and disabled Veterans and their families!

My sciatica doesn't let me go long distances. I used to be like both the tortoise and the hare, being very slow and stopping often. Now, with my new large grocery cart I am only like the hare, as pushing that thing angles me just right so I can kid of race down the streeet. I stil have to stop often. I really think tht those standpipes should be called sitpipes, s that is wha tthey are good for unless there is a fire adn then need the water:-) Wendy |
