Its not that I have unhealthy diet, i have problem with just not always being hungry, so i guess i dont eat regular balanced meals, I do worry that i may over doing it with exercise, if i have no callories to burn if this makes sense... Forums are very new to me, Im not even sure what advice im after. From doing weights and how i do them, i think im developing a very slight tummy 'one pack' lol and can see biceps on arms developing. I would just like a little more body fat on me. Im 5 ft 9 and weigh 8stone and about to hit big 40 hope all this makes sense, as i know very little about fitness regimes

One question... why would you want more body fat? at 8 stone( that's 112 lbs to us) that is pretty slim.. why not add some lean and tone mass? You wont get huge so dont worry! Fill out a program here... try to eat 5-6 meals a day. Check out the new Challenge under the general forum.. its called GKCBOT or something... there is a calcorie calculator there hopefully that can help you some. -------------- Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.

I obviously used wrong word at body fat. After reading i had to work out what I was in IBs as i notice thats used rather than stones.........Ideally I should be at least 1401bs I only every been just past that during my two pregnancies......though was about 140 during early teens. Thanks for reply I only found this site today and rushed in feet first with my question.
