Well I was away from here for most of the last week and well when I left I weighed 45 kilos (not sure what that is in other metrics) and I weighed myself just now and I am now 47.2 kilos. :D:eek::p:)

Woohoooooo! Sorry but it is a big deal cause I am an extremely thin person and have been 45 kilos off and on since I was 12 and this is the first time I have gained this much weight so quickly.

I know most people are like "Nooooooo I gained weight and need to lose it." but not me. I love gaining weight and yeah sorry had to share this with everyone lol

So yeah lets celebrate. Drinks are on me for the next 24 hours everyone!!!!!

(well after I just embarressed myself I will just go hide back under my rock. It's cozy under here too by the way.)

Torana

You probably won't want to hear this. Coffee may be keeping you from gaining weight. A lot of the diet pills used to load up on caffeine as a stimulent and appetite suppressant.

Yeah I know. But I had a little help to overcome my love for coffee. :)
I have had 4 cups of coffee in the last week so I am very proud.

Yup good aye? I am doing so well at giving up bad habits lately. A few more to go now and I will be perfectly happy.

adamant

I've probably had less than the equivalent of that in my entire life. Approximately 120 pounds and 66 inches

Well, here's a double scoop of chocolate almond chip ice cream. before you decide that ice cream is a bad habit :)

I know I am overly thin and it is horrid but I am getting there.

Don't worry I have got vanilla choc chip swirl Cogito and it is damn nice lol

I wouldn't go so far as to use the word horrid. But your resistance may be low until you put on a few more pounds

Torana
08-08-2007, 10:09 PM
It is horrid being a size 6 -7 though. But slowly I will get into an 8....woot woot lol

Congrats Torana!
I honestly had the same issues before I got pregnant(then my metabolism changed yay) I weighed 100lbs exactly, and no matter what I ate or what I did I could not gain anything....didnt even drink coffee. Now I weigh 110 and feel fantastic. If you wanna gain weight I think the best way to do it is eat a lot of bread??
!yay you!

Torana
08-08-2007, 11:42 PM
Yeah I was kind of hoping that after 2 kids my metabolism would slow itself down, but sadly I lost all the weight within 3 days of having my children. I was accused of not eating as well, which was devastating for me really.
What made it worse was the fact that my kids were 3 pound 14 and 3 pound 10 at birth.
But finally all the waiting has payed off and I am gaining weight.
Feels good to know that I am not alone with this weight problem though. :)

Thanks wordwizard!

If you eat right, you will gain weight.
High protein foods are great
Your metabolism will **** sugars and fats
Wheras good nutrients will provoke cell growth and goob like that.

Anyway goodjob on gaining weight, im like 70kg and i want to gain weight but my metabolism, as stated before, ****s sugar and fat, and thats all i eat.

why does everyone use matric?!?! i am 8 stone and i am 5ft 5. how do convert it into whatever you use? :p and congrats on gaining weight Torana, i am glad you want to gain it, i have been putting it on recently (i've went up half a stone from 7.6stone) and am desperatly trying to lose it. :p

adamant

That's about 112 pounds from what I've read...

Heather Louise

right, is that a lot for my height do you think 'cos i never have a clue. :p

adamant
08-09-2007, 04:38 AM
I'm an inch taller and about a stone more... and a lot of people consider me pretty small -- thusly, I would conclude that you are more so

Frost

Ill be prone to weight gain in the future. My BMI right now is like 22 which is exactly where its supposed to be, but yeah. Im not all that thin.

Heather Louise
08-09-2007, 04:52 AM
how od you find out what your BMI is like?

Frost
08-09-2007, 05:05 AM
Google :) I cant remember the formula at the moment. theres to many otherones im busy learning.
Also, I think I just shredded some poor new kids piece, unintentionally. I hope he doesnt get angry at me.

Torana
08-09-2007, 05:12 AM
Thankyou JetBlack and I have tried a high protein diet and it failed to work. But hey I must be doing something right to be gaining the weight :D

Thankyou Heather sweety and to be honest you sound like you are at a healthy weight for your height. I need to be like 10 kilos more according to the Doctors.

Frost
08-09-2007, 05:45 AM

i just found a thing to work out my BMI and it is 18.3, which accaording to the scale is slightly underweight. is it wierd that i am happy about that. :p

Nah tisn't wierd at all hey. Now can I have that address so I can work out mine? :D:p:D:p

hmm not kewl hey my BMI is 17.5 and here is the normal range..:S

Normal weight = 18.5-24.9 rather scarey if you ask me!

Heather Louise
08-09-2007, 09:30 AM
yea, my sister was 17, although she is a child still so it might not count. i suppose it isn't anything too important, it is what you feel comfertabel with i guess.

Torana
08-09-2007, 09:32 AM
Well I'll be happy when I am in the normal range so I guess it is back to the fattening foods again lmao

Heather Louise
08-09-2007, 09:40 AM
hahaa, i wish i could. i mean, i know that acording to the BMi scale i am healthy if not slightyl underweight, but i cannot help wanting to lose a bit more as my belly is looky a little pudgey, lol.i think I'll be happy when my belly is falt and toned. to the exsorice machines!! *puts arm in air and wonders why she aint flying*

Torana
08-09-2007, 09:47 AM
I have a flat stomach unless I eat a massive meal lol I like having a flat stomach but my hips bones stick out and it looks terrible hey. I think that people should be happy with who they are and as long as you don't get too thin then if you want to lose a little wieght then do it, although you are better off just toning up really.

Weight loss can be damaging to your health if you don't need to lose it so just one yourself rather than lose the weight Heather.

(sorry the mother coming out in me a tiny bit there I thinks)

Heather Louise
08-09-2007, 09:52 AM
haha, good mother though ;) nah, i aint stupid with losing weight, i would never starve myself. actually i eat loads, and i mean loads, but seem to put on little weight. my doctor said something about high motabelism, whatever that means. and yea, i think i am gunna tone up a bit rather than lose weight. :D

Torana
08-09-2007, 09:55 AM
Good to hear hunii. Yeah high metabolism just means that your body works off all the things that creates the weight gain faster than others I think lol don't quote me on that though!

Heather Louise
08-09-2007, 09:57 AM
lol, thanks for explaining. the doctor just says lots of words and i feel stupid if i ask what it means so i just nod and say 'ok'. :p

Torana
08-09-2007, 10:01 AM
yeah that is what I do too lol I hate doctor jargon drives me nuts.

My Dr does it all the time and mumbles so ya can't hear him anyways.

Heather Louise
08-09-2007, 10:13 AM
yeaa, and my last doctor, and my new fit dentist, has such an accent on him. my doctor was Asian i think, but not surw where from, and my dentist is Italian or somewhere and i cannot understand a word that either of them said their accents were sooooo strong.

Cogito
08-09-2007, 10:18 AM
Never walk out of the doctor's office withouth making him or her explain whatever you aren't sure about!

Torana
08-09-2007, 10:18 AM
Yeah that drives me insane when we get relieving Dr's that are like that. We get some bad ones that never actually speak english and have a translator present. Stupid really. It happened twice so I guess I can't somplain too much really

Congrats!

I've also been trying to gain weight. I used to be 100lbs, and then in March I went through a very rough patch, and lost 15lbs in a week. I've gotten back up to 95lbs, but for some reason I can seen to gain back that last five.

Torana
08-09-2007, 07:21 PM
Thanks Freshmaker.
I know what that is like hey. I can lose weight so quickly it isn't funny. I literaly lose it over night. I can shed kilos like they re layers of clothing and it is rather annoying.
I hope that you get back up to your desired weight soon, I found a good way is to not stress as well.

SeaBreeze

I have gained more wieght recently and I'm going to try and be good and stop getting so much takeaways next week. It's my bane of existence! I'm not big on fruit but I eat more salads and vegies now than what I did over a year ago. But also the thing is exercise. I really gotta try and lose some weight. It's not only affecting my health, it's also affecting my self esteem as well which isn't very healthy at all.

But yeah, you are looking healthier than what I I have ever seen you.. which is a very long time.

Perfect.. hmmm.. not really. I don't like that I have gained weight. I'm usually okay with it but I really gotta try this time. My bad thing is motivation and that healthy food tends to taste like crud.. also doesn't help when you live with a mum that doesn't particularly eat healthy herself.

You're talking to someone who wants to teach college math and science!

Math is very useful, and a lot of fun when you forget that it was The Enemy in school.

Torana
08-10-2007, 08:52 AM
I got top marks for it but hated it cause the teachers I had were useless. I used to be extermely good at maths, but I am just too lazy to use my brain these days. lol

SeaBreeze

I was much better at science. i got an A, which made me happy. I barely got a congrats from my friends... and when my other friend got a B, they were all cheering! It sucked!

Cogito
08-10-2007, 08:57 AM
Hmmph. Some friends!
But you can only take science just so far without math.

I was lucky to have had a truly wonderful math teacher in high school, with an infectious enthusiasm for the subject. I first studied Geometry class under her. Geometry is like solving puzzles, it was wonderful fun!

Torana
08-10-2007, 08:59 AM
lol I loved science. Biology, chemistry, physics, genetics, they were so much fun and I passed with A's but got too bored with them all so just moved on to somet new.

Torana
08-10-2007, 09:09 AM
Yeah he should have but we were never game enough to stand up to him is all.

But recently another teacher got done over for sleeping with students and minors and so did his girlfriend who is 19 cause she said it was ok for them to do so. Our school was full of sicko teachers. Hence why I never finished year 12 in the end after repeating year 11.

She was talking about doing that at one stage. She has the brains to do it to be honest. Just lacks the confidence.

Home schooling can be difficult but the way that girl is with her kids, I think she would rather home school them so she can be with them 24/7.
