Me! Male 5' 6" 167 lbs. Recently started the "too poor to eat" diet. Trying to make it fun, though. It really helps you clean out the pantry too.

5'3" @ 105lbs. Having a hyper-active kid probably keeps it off of me!!

I hope we are all good?

I hyper metabolize, so I'm always underweight.

Can't even stay still when sleeping.

I used to be the same, with the amount of ecercise and "nervous energy" i used each day i could never put on weight, used to eat roughly 4500-6000 calories each day and kept a constant 220lbs. Within a year of my accident i had put on 80lbs, have lost some but still not enough.

I'm in the same boat as Spots! I was 5'9" and 185 of muscle in my (American) Football days, and I want to play for my college next year so I need to get crackin', almost 20 pounds of muscle to put on in a year.

My plan is this:

Fall Semester

Monday-

3x6 Bench press, increasing weight
3x6 Incline press, increasing weight
3x8 Flies, increasing weight
3x6-10 Rows, increasing weight

Tuesday

3x6 Squats, inc. weight
3x8 Leg Curls, Leg Extensions, Leg Press, all increasing weight

Wednesday

Same as Monday, but with
3x6 shoulder press (dumbbell or machine) rather than the inclines

Thursday

Same as Tuesday, but with
3x6 Jump Squats rather than Squats.

Spring Semester

My plan is to follow this regimen to a T to try and develop my speed; I was pretty quick in High School but I'm gonna need to take it to the next level to play D-1 ball (even if our school has a poor team lol).

To all of you hoping to lose weight, I'd offer this advice: Cardio will take it off NOW, weights will keep it of LATER. For a truly successful long-term goal, I'd suggest a regimen that includes high-intensity cardio and weight workouts.

Of course, diet is of the utmost importance as well, and will be the biggest challenge for me. I need to make sure to eat healthily, but eat about twice as much as I do now. Tricky for a college student to meet both of those criteria.

For the weight losers, I have two big pieces of diet advice: Cut out all soda and sugar-enhanced beverages, and eat a high-protein breakfast as soon as you wake up. I had pancakes this morning and I'm already hungry. I've had days where a 3-egg omelette holds me over until 2 or 3 in the afternoon. Protein is supposedly the key to craving/hunger control.

Best of luck, everyone, with your goals!!
