I was prob low 130's senior yr in highschool, I grew 9" in those 4 yrs so I was a twig. I joined a gym after HS for a year and got close to 150 plus I worked stock so I was moving stuff all day.
I worked out once in a while while in college, rode bike etc
Graduated & worked in an office since and lost some of the muscle I had left.
I rode my bike to work sometimes which felt great and lifted occasionally but had to put my weights in storage for over a year and then got married & moved and never had time to lift after moving. I started to feel like I was getting a slight belly and losing strength, 6 pack was long gone lol.
So I started lifting again about a month and a half ago. I physically felt the best I have felt since I joined the gym after HS. I'm not tired as much any more during the day. I am lifting 5 days a week and sometimes drink protein shake.
So after 1 month, I weigh my self... I gained only 1 lb 
I'm 6'1 and weigh 146 now.
I'm trying to hit 160 because I made a bet with my wife that If I weighed 160 lbs, I would be allowed to buy a 4 wheeler. 
But shit It's gonna take me a year and a half at this rate!
daaamn you people!!
i can gain weight like crazy if i want to, i also get pretty damn strong and big in the mean time by lifting heavy and eating a lot but it's hard as shit for me to cut fat off me which i'm trying to do right now...
basically i eat like 6-8 times a day, like 200-400 cals a "meal" and goto the gym with a shit load of cardio. i joined fitday.com which is a free calorie watcher thing and especially if your bored can kill time
but if your doing it the poor man's way, just eat less and go for a run at night or something when you get off work, ride a bike or run up some stairs, either way...once you join a gym look up some workouts and use those weights before you run
I'll :right click, save: it for myself.....
