Lucky You: Most people want to loose weight. If i wanted to gain weight and not just fat (easy to put on hard to loose) i would eat more good food (no junk) and exercise just a little. Try to determine how many calories you are taking in, what your current activity level is then eat more good calories and cut the exercise back. If not exercising now just increase calories and walk a little.
