I can't gain weight for the life of me, though. Maybe when I'm out of my teen years...

Pack yourself with carbs (ie: Baked potatoes and corn) and up the amount of calories you eat daily by eating something every 2-3 hours. But since you don't want to become fat, you should also be eating lots of protein-rich + whole-grain foods and doing some physical resistance exercises (like weight lifting, or body weight workouts like pushups). People think it's hard to lose weight, but it is equally hard to GAIN weight for those with high metabolisms. It's also retardely hard to eat lots of calories, and it's expensive. Try eating an entire can of white tuna on two whole-wheat breads along with a large baked potato. It doesn't sound like much, but that meal usually took me an hour to eat!



Banana for breakfast, apple for lunch, protein shake for dinner, do 30 mins exercise... daily

I can't stand runing. I have a gym membership and get on the treadmill,even that get's on my nerves. Running is the most pain in the ass excercise in my opinion.

I put on a few too many pounds during my 6 month unemployment due to overeating, being a lazy ass and drinking alcohol. I've already lost about 10-15 lbs since starting work 3 weeks ago. My plan is to limit my meat and dairy (probably stick to just eating yogurt and try and limit cheese, etc) intake to small portions and increase fruit and veggie intake. I also plan on starting to work out again since my knee has recovered from being injured in a fall a few months back. I plan on getting back to my normal weight by around Christmas and being able to fit into all my clothes again.

Basically I plan on avoiding the average American diet and eating more healthy (less meat and more veggies/fruit).

if you have a gym membership and dont like using the treadmill...why dont you try out one of the other cardio equipment?  elipticals, bikes, rowing machine, climber?  or just go swimming, run the steps, or even an aerobics program if your gym offers one... no need to get so worked up over the treadmill.

You're body probably just isn't used to it. After running for a while, you're body becomes stronger & running begins to feel like a fast paced walk. You eventually become very light on your feet after enough training.

all i basically eat is junk food with some healthy foods on the side's but im one of the skinniest kids lol i have a high matabilism so i can eat all i want and im skinny as hell plus i play alot of sport

I actually switched from treadmill to elliptical machine.  I had to because I hurt my knee somehow on the treadmill one day and it took like a month or so to heal.  I then tried the elliptical machine (which I previously viewed as girly) and noticed there is pretty much no impact on the knees.  I re-injured my knee again a few months back and it has finally healed again so I am going to start working out again soon at my apartments gym.  Putting the machine on the hardest resistance makes it a decent work out if you go for at least 30 mins.
