5'8, just cracked 110. Superskelly as fuck. I'm getting into trail mix as an in-between-meals snack. Seems to be a good route so far. Gonna experiment with making my own granola bars and stuff like that. Anyone have any recommendations for stuff to plant in my garden that'll be good for gains?

>be 5'11", 130 lbs

>live with aunt

>no job, can't buy my own food, supplements

>aunt is a 5'1" skelemode old lady

>complains whenever she sees me preparing a meal with more than 700kcal in the kitchen because she's scared I'll eat too much food than she can afford

At least she gets me a big frozen bag of chicken tendies and rice to eat, so my only excuse for not gaining is me spending my whole day shitposting and playing vidya and forgetting to eat, which is a big problem for me.

Shit sucks.

Manlets, when will you learn? You're going to make it anyway. It's easier for manlets to gain weight too, so you have no excuse unless you're an Ethiopian.

>Fuck off, it's not that simple. Genetic predisposition toward a smaller appetite means I have to eat until I'm ready to puke every meal. Anyone else have this problem? Big guys don't know how hard it is.

Muh geeeenes

I fucking hate it when people blame their inability to lose/gain weight on genetics alone. It's such a fucking cop out. Two years ago, I used to be a super skelly (6 foot, 120 pounds), but I ate more and trained hard. Now I'm ~170 pounds. Will it be harder to eat more at first? Absolutely. But the fact that something is hard is no reason not to do it. You need to push yourself, in everything you do, not just at the gym. Always do more than you think you can, and you'll see improvement.

It's not like they can't just add protein scoops, sauces, and oil to their meals with cups of natural sugar juice, milk, and whatever else instead of gobbling down cups of complex carbs and ounces of steaks. Of course it's bullshit, they're retarded phone posting plebs looking for attention.

There is no excuse for anyone in freeburgerstan who wants to to not become human megafauna.

I always get happy when I have a meal that's larger than normal.

For dinner, I usually have a frozen burrito and some milk or beer, but I threw some chicken tendies and a bowl of soup with potatoes in and I'm full now. Am I finally going to make it?

Honestly, being fat is alpha as fuck bro. Alphas eat first, and the most, no other creatures fuck witchu.

There's a reason kings, queens, politicians and the nobility have always been fat.

Dude, you've already made it. Just don't plateau. When you start to feel like you haven't been eating enough, go eat something inedible.

Yeah, fat fighters and socialist voters have convinced dumb, corrupt politicians and congressmen and women that genetics is real and the major cause to obesity. So it's a disability in a lot of cases, literally. People have been convinced that it's okay to be fat, and that it's something you can't fix, and that working is increasingly difficult when you're that large and to resume living you have to maintain the same caloric intake; that you can't work because of physical health problems imposed by extra weight which includes mental and psychological problems; and besides, you can hardly fit into any car or bus with too much weight.

But don't look at it from a fat person, politician, or regular Joe Shmoe tax payer who doesn't know a thing about taxes. Look at it from an employer's perspective. Would you want a landwhale in your workplace?

Well, it probably isn't the fat fighters and socialists (progressive left, 'democrats', 'liberals', communists, fascists, whatever) who are at direct fault. I would cast a little blame towards those scientists, public relations, journalists, editors, and marketers immediate in between who have normalized the mass communications and thoughts of the public through the medium of fear mongering news profiteers, bloggers and vloggers, and the aggressive exclusion from any reasonable social environment by way of those who all believe in the same things and talk the same ways.

Also doesn't help when people like us are too afraid, lazy, or skeptical to go out spreading and discussing the latest truths and questions we come across out of fear of violence and defamation, especially when these truths are discredited by those with the manipulative power of persuasion and influence over the masses for the sake of profit, power, and image; like when Snowden came forward and all that happened was Apple sales increased with the latest updates, apps, and phones canceling out other companies who outsourced customer service and tech jobs to foreign workers who could be working for their country's prosperity instead of our luxury.

also doesn't help when we have the facts and means of reaching out to these same people who spread these falsities by excluding people like us with good intentions by the security of their safe spaces and community guidelines.

obesity… epidemic…

>epidemic

I would be happy to look like you. I started lifting in July. I got tired of feeling unattractive to women.

The first pic is from August, and the second is recent. I don’t see much difference, although I did gain 10 pounds. I still feel unattractive to women.

I was 135 and 5’11” and now I’m 145. About a month ago I started protein shakes.

I don’t belong to a Gym. I started with 20 dumbbells, doing curls, loaded carries, and push ups. I’m at 35 pounds, but moving up to 40.

I do run and jump rope on opposite days of lifting, which probably doesn’t help. I have Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. It’s extremely common. The meds are the most commonly prescribed meds in the US. My immune system started attacking my thyroid after a viral infection, and didn’t stop even though the virus went away.

It’s the type of thyroid problem that causes weight gain. I gained 30 pounds when I was got sick, and lost it all once I started the meds.

One reason I run, besides enjoying it, is I’m afraid of getting diabetes. My glucose has been just above normal for several years. I’ve only started testing around the time I got hashimotos. My doctor suspects it’s related to that because eat healthfully and have exercised regularly for the past 10 years.

Maybe I’m being foolish, but I’m scared if I stop running the glucose will rise.

My goal isn’t to look like a body builder, but just appear more attractive and not sickly.

Pics are before and after.
