Strange Body
Posted: 10-13-05 22:45pm

Hi, I am not sure if this is in the right forum, but i'm wondering how I can go about making my body less..Strange. Let me explain.

I was pudgy (about 130 pounds at the most..I'm a 5'4 female..But I ate junk all the time) until about 16 or 17, when I decided to eat healthier. I didn't really exercise a lot, but the pounds just came off, and by the next year I was down to about 115. I then went off to university, where I defied tradition and lost more weight (not on purpose, either). I'm a vegetarian, and am very picky, so my food is not exactly diverse. But anyways, my problem is is that i'm now about 104 pounds, and I don't want to be this skinny! But at the same time, I dont want to be pudgy again, because I feel more confident this way. I am strange though in that i'm bony in some areas, like my collarbone and shoulders, and i'm practically flat-chested, but my belly is always a little flubby! I want to gain muscle, but I don't know how, since i'm very busy (and unfortunately lazy), and dont eat enough protein (i dont think, anyway).

This is pretty long and rambling, but anyways, I was wondering if anyone knows how to gain enough muscle that things kind of balance out, and I wont be bony some places and flubby (for lack of a better word) others. I have literally no money to spend, and I have one set of 3 pound weights. I would like to gain weight, but not really fat. I do gain fat pretty easily, I think. Anyways, hopefully someone has some ideas! Thanks.

Ummm, well u definately need protein, which is hard to come by as a vegitarian. Dairy products have decent amounts of protein try some of them, as for the workout routine, you would want to consult and expert, or someone who has done something similar.

You can buy protein powders, or protein bars. Also when you work out just do light weights so that you don't really gain muscle and become big, but just tone it up and make it look firm, and lean.
