Your friends are right. If you really want to gain more weight and muscle, you simply need to eat more, and train consistently. The sacrifices are up to you to make. We can give you advice, and help you along the way, but it will be up to you to decide what is more important to you.

I would say that you'll be hardpressed in putting on muscle if you keep this up.

Is this a joke?

If not, I think you know some steps in the right direction, no? If you're serious about getting healthy, this is a good community to find encouragement.

Do what you know is good, and when you're stuck, we can help you with further direction, but if you're not interested in doing what you know, we probably won't waste our time.

Just a few questions:-

- What is the average weight for someone my height?
- How many meals aday should i eat?
- Is water really recomended because i dont really like it.

CHART (http://www.healthchecksystems.com/heightweightchart.htm)

- How many meals aday should i eat?
If you're sticking to a training routine, then 5-6. Roughly spaced out at 3 hours apart.

What do you think? Water will be your friend; get used to it. Add some lemon to it.

How about diluted Orange Juice? :)

1. Don't know, see Hoss' chart though.

2. 5+

3. Yes.

A good start. If you're more likely to drink it than water, that's great. In fact, maybe you could slowly work your way to water by diluting it more and more, slowly over time.

When I first started, I didn't like water either. At one point, my fat loss stopped and only started again when I finally gave in to drinking lots of water. Now, I love it. Start slow and work your way toward 1 gallon/day.

It says my weight is OK, so why do i have a bony chest, just need some muscle on it?

We don't know. Post pictures.

I'm not sure where my digital camera is so i'll have to use my phone. i'll get a picture soon.

Crystal Light is my friend re: water intake.

I usually mix it at half strength for the lemonade--one of those tubs that makes two quarts, I use that in one gallon.

It's lemony enough and has no sugar. It is how I drink a gallon of fluid a day. :)
