Sassy Lass Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Love to hear from others who need to gain weight. I'm naturally thin and look great when muscled, like a skinny old lady when not. I am 60 and feeling "not."Where do I go to check in with those like me? Female especially. Physical Goals:Gain 5 poundsWorkout 6 days/weekKeep balanced more Paleo like diet. Plan ahead. Other:More face to face time, less computer 1 Quote Link to comment
SpecialSundae Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 People often under-estimate how hard it is to gain weight. What sort of workouts are you doing? Might be worth doing paleo + oat/rice if you're trying to gain weight. Carbs are your friend when gaining weight. 2 Quote Link to comment
Teirin Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 hello and welcome to NerdFitness! We have a women's specific training issues area here and a thread for Ladies over 50 here. Hope those help! Quote Behave yourself, badly if necessary. Current Challenge Judo - Shodan My Character Link to comment
Sassy Lass Posted July 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 Every REAL person connection helps tremendously! I just completed my first workout. The cool down was the hardest :-( I am not flexible. How can we measure this as I AM going to improve flexibility! 1 Quote Link to comment
Blaidd Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 You'll find there are a fair few people on NF who are trying to gain muscle weight as they feel they're too skinny. Teirin has given you some really good threads to look into and you can try chatting to @Bekah who might be able to point you in the direction of how to measure your flexibility throughout the challenge (One of the NFers had a challenge where they measured how closely they could touch their toes while standing - very clever). You might notice that someone has added a tag to your post. This is not to box you into a corner but rather because your goals or lifestyle have links to the guild you've been tagged and we'd like to bring you to the attention of one of their guild ambassadors. These ambassadors will be able to offer you advice, encouragement and support on your goals. You don't even have to wait around for them to come introduce themselves to you, you are more than welcome to pop into the Adventurers' board and introduce yourself to the guildies there. I am also around to answer any questions that you might have so do not hesitate to PM me. Good Luck with your challengeAB xx Quote Half Faerie (Sidhe) Scout | Black Belt Kitchen Ninja "A positive attitude will not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort" - Herm Albright You're welcome to skype me (audriwolf) too but let me know who you are My challenge Link to comment

oldnews Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 Hi there! I hope you're still around, I was just searching the forums for weight gain. I'm hoping we can get an Accountabilibuddy group going. As much as I love to support my buddies through their weight loss, it would be nice to have some companions on my quest to maintain or gain weight.

Granny Nogg Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 I know this is an old thread but I didn't find a current challenge for you, so I figured I'd pop in here in the hopes you're still following it and getting messages. Looking forward to hearing more about your weight gaining and strength training adventures! sent from my tiny particle accelerator Quote Granny Nogg - Level 10 Warrior Battle Log| Challenge 8 |Challenge 9 | Challenge 10| My Job | My Epic Quest | Instagram "Those are not my monkeys."
