just a suggestion, have you ever gotten tested for throid problems? If i remember correctly, my aunt has this problem, but it is an overactive throid, she loses weight, and has a hard time keeping her size... I think that is the just of it..


goodluck

and what type of ball drills would you like?

jaim91

I would take any...shooting, dribbling....thanks!

Tom_B

if you wanna gain weight look at this weird crap I saw at Wal Mart, it was like a protein thing that had like 2000 calories per serving...that'll defiently put on the weight..

jaim91

That's gross...it probably tastes like shit.

You need it too though Tom, lol.

SPIKE1257

Wow.. Tom_B and jaim91 could be twins.. I just saw your photo's. Are we having a contest to see who can be most emaciated..

lakergirl

Jaim, work on ballhandling.. that is one of the single most important things that coaches look for and players underestimate.

What position will you play? Id guess the 3? possibly 2?

Work with 2 balls. dribbling, then putting one ball through the legs, while keeping the other going, get down low to the ground and dribble, stand up while continuing to dribble. Learn to do a crossover, then bring the ball behind your back. work on putting all of the moves you know together into a sequence.

as for shooting, make sure your mechanics are right, get a coach or someone to watch, I can't help you without making sure you are shooting properly. For drills, just shoot shoot shoot. Most of my players on off days are shooting at least 500 shots a day. during season, they get up at least 200. repetition is what makes a good shooter. work from all areas of the court. start from just under the basket, and work your way out and around.

if you'd like more tips, just tell me and I will give you more indepth, Im not sure what exactly you are looking for.

hope this helps. just tell me what you are lookin for.. be specific if you want, i dont mind.

Tom_B

lmao or not! that stuff would be shit, my firend and I just sat there staring at it asking why the hell would soemone eat that..it's just gross..
lol she far beats me there, she's alot thinner than me and she's got it worse off, I can at least gain weight, if I ate what she ate everyday, I'd be as fat as I was in elementary school and I'm never getting that big again, i'd shoot myself lol
Besdies apparently I donf't need to gain weight, some girl told me that today she said I was the perfect size and I really shouldn't gain weight, stupid bitch she she helped my self esteem

jaim91

You need it...trust. Everyone else here who are experts on health and fitness say you need to.

Emaciated is a harsh word. I prefer....thin. Ya, that gets the job done.

jaim91

Lakergirl - I sent you a pm

Another thing....Tom and I have trouble seeing what we really look like. It's not like we can just look at a pic of ourselves and say, "Shit! I look like gross". That's why we have to rely on other people's input...

IanHUK

ust looking at your diet is making me put weight on.

Maybe try some EAS Weight gain meal replacements instead of the Pizza.

Tom_B

lol I wouldn't care if I couldn't gain any weight, I would never eat anything like those weight gaining shakes..it's just so wrong and disgusting

BulkMeUp

If they serve their purpouse, why not?

IanHUK

LoL - Surely it's better than eating pizza, even if it doesn't taste as good!!

Live the BodyBuilding Dream

Tom_B

lol I don't know, I know the only way some people can gain weight is through stuff like that, but I just could never bring myself to eat 1 shake that has 2000 calories in it, I'd throw up...2 or 3 times

jaim91

Ya, it does taste pretty gross. And I actually like having that much food. I think my stomach has expanded as a result....ya, right. lol. No, but the weight gain shakes I don't think are so good for you, and by you I mean me.

Emma-Leigh

Says she whos last lunch consisted of:
100 grams pastrami
100 grams turkey
1 oatmeal raison cookie
1 giant chocolate chip cookie
1 Blueberry muffin
1 poppy seed bagel
1 nestle drumstick

Tom_B

lol well if you don't wanna use those weight shakes do what I did for a year it'll put on alot of weight
wake up skip brekfast, go to school, some days skip lunch or have a huge amount of fries/poutine get home from school binge on everything in sight then go to sleep for 6 or so hours wake up, watch two hours of tv while binging on more fires/hamburgers/putine then go abck to sleep and wake up the next day ready fpor school

jaim91

lol...Tom, I know for sure that's not a good way to live. I have tried the skipping one meal a day thing to slow down my metabolism, but the hunger pains hurt too much...and all I did was end up losing weight. But thanks for the tip,

Tom_B

lol no prob, just try to sleep alot that'll slow down your matabolism...god I had no life back then all my friends made fun of me for sleeping all day

BulkMeUp

Curious. Why would you consider them not a good option, considering your present diet???

BulkMeUp

Why would ANYONE consume 2000 cals in a meal?
Moderation is the key to any diet sucess depending on goals. If one is consuming 6 meal/day @500 cals, simply reduce the amount of the weightgainer shake to get the required cals. But if one can consume whole(clean) food and get the same cals, that would be even better!

i think you should eat a lot of chinese and italian food, then youll gain weight, hopefully, i dunno though cause if you cant gain weight off of mcdonalds i dont know what will work

I can't access it that easily at school, and I hate leftovers.

I try to eat real food as much as possible, and so the weighgainer wouldn't be good and it tastes like shit. I'm already on one shake (the Isoflex/myoplex protein one), and I don't want any more.

I played ball yesterday for 5 hours, and worked up quite an appetite. Unfortunately, I vomitted (BY ACCIDENT!) after.

Dinner:
1 pizza bagel
1 chocolate chip bagel
2 cinnmon buns (small)
1 nutrigrain
1 peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat
1 medium dairy queen ice cream
1 bowl butterscotch ripple ice cream
1 cup cinnamon toast crunch with 2% milk

You don't just 'accidently' eat so much you throw up - there is a concious component to the whole process. You have to "LET" yourself go past the point of eating sensibly into the realms of all out binging.



Your excuses for why you eat the way you do (although I am not entirely convinced you eat like this anyway - or at least not everyday... Occasional binges yes, but not everyday) are getting old, and all of them are very 'childish'. These are not real 'reasons' as to why you can not gain weight and why you eat like you do - things such as "I hate left-overs" and "I am at school" and "I don't like that" are just things you are using to justifying your actions. Non of these are substantial enough to be mentally or physically stopping you from doing the sensible thing...

You are so paradoxical in your comments it is not funny - on one hand you say that you "are really trying to gain weight" but then you do things such as "putting weights in your shoes".... Your patterns of thoughts and behaivours wreak of someone who has serious pathological mental processes in terms of eating/exercise and weight....

Why don't you take a productive step in your life and decide to take responsibility for yourself and your actions? There is nothing to gain from staying a 'victim'... If you REALLY wanted to gain weight, and wanted to do it sensibly, it would happen...

jaim91

I was in the hospital for 40 days. Every day, I would have balanced, sensible, nutricious meals. IT DIDN'T HELP! I gained 3.5 lbs in the amoutn of time. And you weren't allowed to exercise on the unit, so I wasn't doing anything to burn calories. Both my input and my output were being monitored, so they knew I wasn't screwing around. I have never had any bulimic tendencies, and I'm not about to start now. I didn't feel sick while I was eating the food, it only took effect about 10 minutes after I finished.

I don't know a lot of people 9adults) who like leftovers, and I do know a lot of people (adults) who have at least one food that they dispise and won't touch. Same with me. For the "I am at school" excuse, that was only in regards to the "Eat more Italian and Chinese food" comment. I can't because there's no restaurant near me. Only McDonald's and Pizza Pizza.

I don't know where you get off analyzing me and seizing me up. If I could prove to you that I eat like this everyday, I would.

Emma-Leigh

But you still gained the weight... That is better than you are doing now!!

If what you are doing now is not working then you have to look at why and try to fix the problem. Eating copious amount of junk food and then throwing up is not going to get you anywhere...

Your need to realise that your health is a serious issue - the last thing you want to do is end up with long-term complications for your actions today. Diabetes, heart disease, stroke, osteoporosis and a multitude of other issues arise with this type of thing. You have to realise that, despite how you feel NOW, life when you are 30 is not going to be fun if you are constantly fighting ill-health.

These problems do not just occur in the over-weight and over-40's!

You would also have to know that eating like this is not going to be helping your basketball either - to be a good athlete you have to fuel your body so it runs efficiently. You are not doing that at the moment and I imagine your game will be suffering as a concequence.

I don't buy it. You would HAVE to know that eating that amount of food, in a short period of time, soon after exercising, was not a good idea!! Just allowing yourself to do that is a 'binge' tendency. Even if you were starving you could have had a small meal and then, an hour later, followed it with another small meal.

Maybe it is different in Australia but I don't know anyone who has a problem with left-overs. What is wrong with them? Just because you cooked something the night before doesn't mean it is still not good to eat the next day. Most of the 'pre-packaged' junk food you are eating was made a good few days prior to you eating it, so what is the difference?

Why not make yourself some meals to take with you to school - a big bowl of pasta with tuna, fat-free cheese, mixed beans, chopped walnuts and vegetables could easily add up to a few calories and would be far more nutritious than your current choices. A milkshake with milk, yoghurt, fruit, natty PB, honey, protein powder and oats is also an option. Home made oat slice (oats, dried fruits, eggs etc) are great, easy to take and tasty. There are so many better choices that you could make.

If you ate small, nutritious meals every 2 hrs you could gain weight. You just have be dedicated.

Sorry if I came off like that. But if you go back and read through your posts you can see some huge 'holes' in your arguements in regards to your current weight/health status and your current method of eating.

I was simply trying to point these out to you.

Also, I think the point is not to try to 'prove to me' that you are eating that crap, rather you need to try to prove to yourself that you can do the responsible thing and do the best thing by your health - that is, eat properly and gain weight...

Absolutely! Always keep long term repercussions in mind. Dont simply focus on the here and now and turn a blind eye to the comming future.

I have no problems in eating leftovers. They are a lot healthier than junk food.

jaim91

Healthier, yes. Tastier, no.

Yesterday was the first day of my "clean" diet. It was horrible. My mom kept telling me to eat more, and I felt sluggish. Not a great day overall. Lost 1 lb (maybe water weight) between yesterday and today. damn.

I'm going to be in a commercial, and we're shooting Monday and Tuesday. I play basketball in the commercial both days from 9 - 8...I don't think the clean diet will give me the energy I need. I'm going to take lots of snack (and eat whatever the caterer brings) for short bursts of energy.
