How can I gain weight or muscle weight?

I'm almost 16, I like 110 pounds and I'm 5'1. I don't like the skinny scrawny look, but I'm not scrawny, you can't see my hip bones or my spine or anything. So it's not bad.But I want to gain some weight/muscle. I work out, I've gained quite a bit, I've gone up pant sizes, I was a 0 in Levi's but I can fit in these pair of size 3's and my other two pair of Levi's that are 0's but they were really big. I grew out of ALL of my pants from sophomore year.I want to get bigger calves and bigger quads, for my size I'm bottom heavy i have big hips. I used to do multiple variations of ab work outs, and my friend would too and it worked for her, but not me she even told me "you just keep that belly pouch you have" haha. So I'm just going to do like 200 sit ups or crunches everyday.So how can I get bigger in my legs and hips? please and thanks.I have a gym membership, so if there are any machines you recommend, go ahead.my gym has leg curl, leg extension, leg press, bikes - both kind, treadmill, and stuff. those are the only ones for legs I believe.

I need help losing weight fast?

I'm completely and utterly stuck. I feel like im at a standstill and its impossible for me to lose any weight! The only people who are noticing any "weight loss" are my CLOSE family members! Honestly, im starting to think i'm being lied to. I'm not noticing any changes whenever I look at myself in the mirror. I still look back and see the same overweight 13 year old and im tired of it. This summer I decided I was going to lose weight. The only remotely noticeable thing I can see with my own eyes are my collar bones (they're becoming just barely any more noticeable.) I feel like this summer was a waste of my time. I wanted a flat stomach. I was tired of being the girl that's always left out and can never wear the clothes she wants! I've cut my diet to 1,200 - 1,600 calories a day. I've taken out all junk food (except when I treat myself which is just barely once a month). And I took out ALL soda from my diet. I've been running on a nightly basis, doing crunches, leg lifts, and lunges. I have been on this strict schedule for almost 2 1/2 months now. I do admit that I've slacked off before, but that's only because I have no motivation to do anything because of the lack of results im getting! I constantly feel guilty after I eat ANYTHING. Even if it is healthy! I feel like with every meal or snack I eat, im gaining 10 pounds! I'm tired of feeling this way and I just don't know what to do. I wanted to come back to school and surprise all my friends with my major weight loss, but apparently that's not happening. I am in desperate need of some help. I want to lose weight, and actually SEE results with my own eyes! Not just have my parents tell me what I want to hear. I have 3 weeks of summer vacation left and I want to lose as much weight possible in that duration My parents told me that if I work hard and set my mind to it, that I'll be flat by my birthday (December 8th.) As much as I want to believe that, I cant. I have to make it reality, but how? How do I get a flat stomach fast? How do I achieve my weight loss and see results MYSELF? Help!

How to Lose Stomach Weight Fast

Recommended Answer:

more cardio. Cardio is the most important thing. Also it takes a while before you really start seeing results. You're not going to have a perfect body in a couple weeks. this takes months of dedication. I recommend getting a personal trainer. You probably haven't been doing the right workouts to lose weight. You're probably gaining weight from muscle. I know a lot of people that work out all the time yet can't get a good body and don't understand how I don't work out every day andstill have a good body. They don't know what to do at the gym. If you don't know the appropriate work outs, going to the gym is a complete waste of time

yeast infection or something else? please help?

so about 11 to 8 days ago I started itching down there. I decided to wait it out because I had just shaved so I thought maybe it was from shaving. then after a few days it didn't go away. then it started to get red and raw down there and started to burn when I would wipe. it doesn't burn when I pee though only when I wipe. so I decided to try an over the counter yeast infection cream. I used it for about 3 nights and no improvement. if anything it made the itching and burning worse. then one morning I noticed I had some orangeish yellowish stretchy discharge. I was getting ready to ovulate and the stretchy part is always normal for me only usually its clear. also I had a yeast infection last month. I know it was a yeast infection because I had PROTECTED sex with a new partner and I got the yeast infection a day after having sex. and I got scared that I got and STD from him so I went to planned parenthood and got it looked it. they gave me a yeast infection pill and within a few days I was back to normal. and before I went to planned parenthood last time I did notice the orangish discharge. so after seeing the discharge again i thought for sure its a yeast infection again and since the other medicine didn't help i went out and got a one day treatment. it was a suppository. so before i put that in i went to the bathroom and after i wiped i noticed clear discharge with little specks of blood in it. (this did not happen last time) so i tried to calm down and i put the suppository in and went to bed. after laying there the cream started to come out and was getting on the outside of my vagina. it was probably the worst pain i have ever been in. i literally had to sleep with an ice pack on all night. so the next day. my vagina was swollen. and didn't feel that much better. but i went on with the day. then the next day the swelling went down and the itching and burning was almost gone. now a few days later its still slightly there. and today i noticed my vagina was swollen again. also i had more of the orangish discharge.so what is this? is this yeast? and if it is why isn't it gone by now after i have treated it? could it be something more serious?! btw i am no longer sexually active the last time i had sex was last month a day before my last yeast infection. and like i said we did use protection the whole time so this cant be something like gonorrhea can it?!when i went to planned parenthood the doctor told me yeast infections can be caused from diabetes and sugary foods and drinks. well i do not have diabetes but i do have a history of it in my family. but right after my last yeast infection i joined the gym and im counting calories and i never drink soda anymore. all i drink is water. so what could have caused this?!please help if you can. i don't have insurance or the money to go back to planned parenthood.

Are you getting close to having your period again? Sometimes a yeast infection can occur with hormonal changes (like getting your period, ovulation, etc.) That could explain the color too.If the over-the-counter treatments are giving you trouble, stop using them.Try sitting in a bath & cleaning the area with cool water alone... no soap. Try drinking a lot of water too... to flush it out of your system. It sounds like an infection that was made worse with the yeast infection treatments. If the problem isnt getting better in the next few days... try to possibly seek medical attention.
