Like said before, muscle weighs more than fat, so it's entirely possible to gain weight and be in better shape. Losing weight =! necessarily better shape. | ||

My weight/figure isn't my personal concern so much as how 'in shape' I am... and while I realize they are fairly related, what I really should do is get exercise to the point that I won't get exhausted jogging a mile etc. it was mad easy in japan though. 2 onigiri for breakfast =300kcal 1 ramen bowl for lunch =500-700kcal 1 bowl of whatever =(oyakodon, 500-1000kcal) usually it was easy to hit about 1500kcal even with a bit of light snacking in the middle (so easy to cal count in japan since everything is labeled, even restaurants menus) and I had enough energy to go clubbing and whatever on weekends (from like 12 to 6am? since trains stop running) as well as kendo practice on friday (usually i ate a bit more on friday for kendo) | ||

I just finished a month workout plan aimed at muscular strength (I know strength =! optimal mass gain and that a 8-12 rep program is better than a 6-8 for hypertrophy) I left the plan itself at school when I came home for Christmas, but it was something like Day 1: Chest/Back I'm not sure what they're called, but these (when the video starts), alternating sides. Alternate this exercise with: Dumbbell Bench Press 6-8 reps of each (for the pullup thing you might be able to more, go for it), alternating exercise 1 and 2 until you've done 4 sets of each. 90-120 seconds rest between sets. Then do Seated Rows alternated with Decline Flys, again 6-8 reps, alternating until 4sets of each. 90-120seconds rest. Day 2: Arms Close grip bench press demo alternated with Bicep Curls (barbell) The same 6-8 reps, alternate up to 4sets, 90-120s rest. Then barbell skull crushers alternating with pronated grip curls. 6-8 reps. 4sets. 90-120s rest. There was also a Leg day but I can't remember it right now :p This workout came from a PSP staff of the Canadian Forces so don't go thinking I invented it :p If you want it targeted at hypertrophy change from 6-8 to 8-12 reps in all exercises. Obviously this means decreasing the weight a bit. Make sure you take whey protein immediately after working out too  | ||

If you lose 20 pounds you will be thinner than most girls. I should know because I'm also 5'6" and about 135-140, so yeah it is pretty thin. Dunno, since I went to college I have been eating vegetarian and I got a little thinner even though I didn't lose weight. I don't really worry about the weight, does it really matter if you don't look fat? I don't think so. | ||

I know one guy who was quite fat.. just didn't eat anything apart from like 2 slices of bread a day and just drank alot.. sure he got thin but it doesn't last if you do it like that, for about 4-5 months he stayed thin but he was putting the weight back on so fast.. He's fat again btw. Just take it nice and slow and in 2 months you'll be at the weight you want. | ||

if you want to get maximum effectiveness try doing abs one day legs another and arms/upper body another with maybe cardio or aerobics another and pace yourself with your workouts and try not to pull a muscle hf working out | ||

although my "ideal" isn't as low as 140... that's a bit too low. If I can get to anywhere between 148-153 I'll be a happy camper (I'm about 162 right now I think). | ||
