Well This Was A Great Idea
So basically I’ve been hovering around the same weight for a few months. I’ll momentarily reach what is an all time weight high for me and then real life will get in the way and I’ll drop a bunch of pounds. Then I’ll spend a few weeks getting back to where I was and the process will repeat itself. This is partly my fault because I struggle with my diet. It’s not that I’m eating bad things, it’s that either I’m too busy, I forget, or I just don’t freaking feel like eating (i.e. unlearning a lifetime of being really skinny). I’ve grown to really love going to the gym. I can’t say the same about the food intake required.
With that being said, what’s the best course of action to take next? Agree to a weight gain race with someone who has successfully gained weight before. Good lord, what was I thinking? Oh well, it’s all in good fun and I’m going to give it my best. My goal is to get from 152 to 160 and his is to get from 162 to 170. Small guys rule!
Please take time to wish Michael (screen name Micchael_J) the worst of luck. Sorry, that was a typo. I of course mean wish him the best.

Plan your meals bro … if you are not planning, you are planning to fail. Make up what you are going to eat the weekend prior. Get a small cooler of some sort, a few packages of 2 1/2 cup Ziplock containers, and just prep healthy things to eat ahead of time that way you don’t have to think about it - it is already there. It is already done. Create a new normal in how you eat.

Throw it all in a blender and drink it down! There’s no easier way for me! I HATE food right now. Clean foods, that is. I have resorted to drinking almost everything right now, and I plan to stick with it until I’m tired of drinking my meals. LOL! GOOD LUCK! I"m pulling for you! And booing Michael.

Good luck, I was able to do 150 - 160 but it took me some time. Chicken Breasts did it for me, along with 4 mass / weight gain shakes a day. I dropped my cardio to twice a week (5 - 7mins max). I kept checking the mirror to make sure my lower abs didn’t get too pudgy. Right now I’m 175, with a goal to put on to 190 and shave back to 185 or so.
