I have been skinny all my life but now I weigh 80 kilos which is just below healthy BMI for my height and happy to share my struggle.
I was 19 when I joined gym and quit - I was not really fit to lift lot of weights to be frank. Was kind of embarrassed.
Then I worked on strength from body weight exercises. This was a really good foundation when I look back now. I was able to do 80 pushups in one go. But then I was weighing only 55-58 kilos I think - I should say weighing less helped there! Then joined gym again - this time I could lift lot of weights but with little gains. Then I quit gym for long time and I hovered around 62-65 in weight till I was 27. Gosh I was skinny.
Then I started to work out again. This time it was mostly about finding what diet works for you. For me it was organic lean meat, organic eggs, plenty of fruits (juice) and grounded almond. And strictly no alcohol not even a drop of beer. My weight shot up in 6 months! I was kind of surprised. In the end I could not believe that was so easy.
