The best way to do what you are looking for is to increase your calorie intake and to supplement that with a good multivitamin and possibly some sustained release amino acids. then just follow a steady workout and you'll see results.

Don't worry about gaining weight. Most guys who think they are too thin are just fine. Eat a standard, healthy diet. Throw in extra carbs. Focus on getting fit rather than getting big.

You are extremely muscular...However, I think you look good.  I am extremely attracted to muscular men with the brains to go along with the bod.  If you are able to maintain your physique that's wonderfully, but don't get any bigger. :-)

i know what u mean! well, kinda, you see, i was like that...ok, i lie, i am like that...and i dont know what it is. counsleing, and crap is trying to help me figure the source, but i dont think it is for beauty, i think it goes far beyaond that by being called fat by my father when i was only 6 years old..then by my sibblings. although i was never fat. i am under my weight now, too far, and it hasnt made me beautiful, and it never will. annorexia only gets you a lot of teasing and embarrassment, and into a deep puddle of mud. i wish i could get help, but all i can get help from is my mom and a youth pastor. i feel lonly and lost, and it is a troubling disease to have. it scares me and makes me sad.

first nothing is wrong with you.  Ppl just develop different, and your weight doesn't help the matter at all, try putting on an extra 20lbs that should boost up the puberty. But stay young there no need to be developed yet. Why do all young girls want to look like adults, theres alot of responsiblity that comes with that. Your beautiful just the way u are.

My brother also had male anorexia/muscle dysmorphia. He died at age 29 of heart failure due to complications however he was very muscular/low body fat and took way too many diuretics and/laxatives. Few people recognize male anorexia due to the fact that it is common in more females than males. Men also disguise a lot of their symptoms by stating they "work out a lot"\n  I was also diagnosed (anorexia/bulimia) at the age of 18 and have fought an uphill battle ever since. I have been in recovery since I was 26 and have found a healthier way to live. I and the Dr's do not think it ever goes away you just learn to handle it better and realize it IS psychological. Be ready HE WILL deny it and perhaps get agitated.\nI will think of you and him and I pray he gets the help he needs. Its a tough battle but one worth fighting to keep your life. \nPrayers and peace ~i~\n\nYou may want to look over these sites. The second link is a great resource for signs of the disorder. The third one is one mans story with the disorder.

A lot of girls feel pressured by the media, their peers, and even their parents to be thinner. People tell them that they aren't good enough, pretty enough, or even spart enough unless they look like the girls on the cover of Vogue or Seventeen. It's also because a lot of boys make it plainly obvious that they only want girls that are skinny and... erm... "gifted". Guys like you that see girls for who they are are so hard to come by. Good for you!

Well, you're the first I've seen that says something like that. I do like a great body, you know, curves, everything in the right place, but you know, its not like im some heartless person. I do like a girl's personality, its just if she's 400lbs then I'd have to pass.

if u dont feel comforatable in ur body then change it...but thats not the right way...trust me...cut back on sugar and start running...maybe if u got to like 115 or something that might look ok but i dont know im a little younger than u...but remember when nicole richie lost all the weight she was 5''1 and weighed 90lbs and she looked horrible...ur 2 inches taller u would look even worse...guys will like u better if u have a body...plus ull have boobs...guys like that

you shouldnt be worrying about your weight if it is genetic.. are one or both your parents skinny? Then there's not much you can do.. but you can join a gym , they have special regimes for people like you which might help..

You actually should consider gaining a bit of weight, you are very thin for your height. Don't let dang TV and magazine ads get to you and become anorexic, for pete sake how can you even ask a question like this with your weight? Don't you have a mirror? It concerns me that you even asked this question to begin with. If you seriously think you are fat talk to your parents or counselor please. If you were looking for compliments get a life.

Been there, done that. I think, for me it was a way of over-compensating for a lack of self esteem or a sense of inadequacy. I was the proverbial skinny guy who became obsessed with working out probably for reasons not unlike the reasons for why girls sometimes starve themselves because of a poor body image.  That being said, I would suggest what others have already said. Don't limit yourself to just lifting weights. If it's muscle you want, then you might just very well end up defeating the purpose. Try other things that strengthen you in different ways. My personal choices include martial arts, running and yoga type stretching in addition to body weight exercises for strength training and muscle gain. I realize that this doesn't really answer your question. I'm guess I'm just saying that if you're going to be an exercise junkie then you might as well be a well rounded one. People become addicted to various things because those given things seem to offer a positive reward. If this much is good then more must be better. It seems you are very much enjoying the benefit of your efforts and I congratulate you on your transformation, But if you're an insecure person attempting to solve the problem by creating muscles, you will probably end up being just an insecure guy with muscles. Keep your goal in mind and realize that too much of one thing is actually counter-productive which defeats the purpose. I wouln't be too hard on yourself. Sometimes we need to go to extremes in order to understand what it means to be balanced. So go ahead and give yourself permission to be that way for awhile, but do it with awareness. Consider it a learning process. Experience is the best teacher.

you obviously have self-esteem issues. i don't know your age, but this is normal for a teen. if you're older, you may want to consider therapy to get over your issue, unless there's a reason you subconsciously want to avoid women (fear of intimacy, think you're not good enough, overweight, etc...) I recognize the city you are in (near pv mall), nice to talk to a phoenician!

Sure you can attract girls! Seriously mate, I know it might sound cliche, but it really is what's on the inside that matters. Just make sure that you're not unhealthily fat. What I mean is, some people are naturally big-boned, but others could lose weight if they got some exercise. If you're the second type, then work out! Well, work out anyway- it helps to keep you healthy, AND it improves your sex drive! (...er... it's supposed to anyway...) Stay healthy- healthy people, regardless of how they're built, are attractive. Seriously- just so long as you look alert and active, and walk straight, with your chin up, it doesn't matter if you're on the heavy side. But back to the point, when you meet the love of your life, she's not going to care if you're fat or so thin that you're two-dimensional. She's going to love you for who you are on the inside. Of course, there are girls (and boys, too) who judge people by their looks and their looks alone, but don't worry about them! Remember- those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind. A great sense of humour is a big bonus, by the way- it's one of the first things I look for in a guy! Anyway mate, good luck!

Im 21 never done anything with anyone or had a g/f( except onece with a hooker lol )im 6 ft and now 138 lbs and it seems no one is interested at all. I have like 2 freinds and suffer from depression and also have very low self esteem and confidence and also ive being bullied from the day i started school . Do i want to end things . no i dont that would be letting the dickheads win . When you say big boned what u mean  because if your lean ( low body fat ) and have big bones thats hot too i think you should not even bother worrying your not even fully grown and your a kid still i mean im still young and im 21 i look like 16 lol so yeh my point of explaining this is to tell u that their are people in worse situations if you end now then you wont find out what things could happen you never know some really good things might happen even if u dont belive it which you dont because deopressed people dont i read it up on a doctors website so i know the symptons of depression which you may be suffering from and it affects your way of thinking.
