I need to put some weight on ?

[Stephanie]

After my recent not being very well my clothes are all to loose (even my bra) so I would like to get back to my normal weight but not fat so junk food is not an option, any suggestions for putting on healthy weight ?

Im about 5.5 hight med build and was just under 140lbs about 10 stone

thank you Steph

Hi Steph ... As you have been sick and lost a lot of weight ... The best thing you can do is just eat as normal ... I am certain you eat healthy .. So there is nothing really special you need to do except rest as much as possible and eat well ... And you weight will gradually return to normal ...

 

[Stephanie]

OK and thank you Maxie

 

[maxie]

No problem Steph

I agree with maxie.

You lost your weight quickly but it will and should come back slowly.
A extra little desert now and again shouldn't hurt.

 

[Stephanie]

Hi Layback Bear think my fave desert in the winter is Rice pudding

 

[Layback Bear]

Rice pudding with a glass of white wine sounds great.

 

[Stephanie]

I shall have to get some in .. white wine that is

Don't forget a dollop of jam in the middle of that rice pudding. :drool:

I agree with the others the weight will come back as you return to full health, don't try to rush it as that could mean putting on fat rather than healthy flesh.

I like tossing in a few soft raisins in my rice pudding.

Protein intake like eggs, milk & chicken can help increase weight. Deep fried items like french fries can help too but not recommended (junk). Besides, eating more rice & drinking beers (not simultaneously ) can help gain weight.

Go Italian usually works regardless of wishes lasagna especially :drool:

Thanks guys , I'm having a Beef Stew tonight (made it this morning and its dong in my slow cooker) and having a M&S trifle for sweet, I will make sure I eat something at work tonight (lunch is around 2am)

For me it's the sweets that do it. I love chocolate, and that is healthy, LOL

Hmm, Trifle - my favorite. The wife makes it sometimes but it is sooo much work. When I went to the UK for business, I usually went a day ahead of time to have Trifle at the Hotel Shakespeare in Stratford on Avon.

Very basic and easy weights can help too. I'm not talking "no pain, no gain" craziness, but just 5 or 10 pound hand weights used in a low impact, low strain exercises to build some muscle.

(I think I'm in love with Steph's sig)

I wish I had your problem; I need to lose weight (health issue make it pretty much impossible)! :mad2: All seriousness aside, I'm glad you are feeling better now. Just eat normally and exercise (any exercise is better than none so just do what is convenient for you) and you will be back up to normal soon (normal weight, that is; no one here is "normal" ).

 

[Stephanie]

Thank you Jeannie I will soon have my butt and boobs back

You are welcome to some most of my ample asset! My girls are a bit undersized so you can't have any . What's weird about the girls is they stay the same cup size, no matter what my weight is.
