It's possible to go from 110 to 220 in 4 years without roids. Just because some people only gain 30 in 13 years doesn't mean they should speak badly of other people just because they are a different body type. I personally have went from 160 to 245 in almost 6 years without taking anything stronger than creatine. I have picked up a little higher BF% but that goes with taking in several calories a day in order to bulk and get stronger. I'm not looking to compete in body building, maybe powerlifting though. The point of what I'm saying is that everyones body is different so you should just do your best, push yourself and you'll achieve your potential.

∙ 9y agoLifting Weights will actually make your weight go up. Do not be alarmed by this though. Your weight will increase but your fat will decrease. Your weight will simply go up because muscle weighs more than fat. Overall lifting weights will improve your health.
It really depends on where you're starting from, and, how you do it.
If you haven't done much exercise at all before starting to try to lose weight, then you won't have much muscles, and with only a little muscle it becomes harder to exercise effectively. A lot of the calorie use happens in the muscles, so with little muscle comes low/slow calorie use.
Moderate weight lifting(light weights, plenty of repetitions) will help you lose weight.
The exercise burns calories and increase your metabolism, and a bit of added muscle will let you put more effort into your exercises and burn more calories.
If you're starting from a couch potato, some muscles strength is good protection against injuries. The fat can actually be replaced with muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat, so your loss of inches will actually be more dramatic than your loss of weight at first.
Heavy weight lifting(heavy weights, few repetitions) doesn't help you lose weight. Weight lifting will build muscle mass, which will actually increase your body weight.

∙ 14y agoYes it does but it depends how much you do and the gained weight sometimes mean muscle. Which builds good fat. But if you workout but don't stick to a exercise and eating routine you might as well forget about losing weight!

∙ 13y agoTechnically, yes and no. Muscle weighs more than fat, so the equivalent amount of muscle will make you weigh more on a scale. Bigger muscles burn more calories as well, so muscle is key to losing weight. A more accurate measurement is to go with body fat percentage or BMI.

A healthy way to gain more weight is to make sure that your are eating at least 2000 calories a day. Also, add lots of protein to your diet. Since you are so tiny, you should be eating at least 75 grams of protein a day. You can get this protein from meats, bagels, and Powerbar Protein Plus bars. Weight lifting can also add some weight to your body also. It builds muscle which weights 2x more than fat. That's my advice to make you gain weight.
