i have some questions. i am 38yrs old and started working out 6 months ago. i am 5'11 and was 194 now i'm up to 200. i don't seem to be getting fat so could it be muscle?? i do notice my body taking shape. i also wondered why i was getting tryed when lifting i just quit smoking. holy shit what a diffrence. i'm having a hard time trying to put together a 6 meal day. i eat tuna, lots of chicken. i need help. also i work out by my self since my friends are losers. and help would be great thanks.

Welcome to the boards. I'm sort of a newcomer myself, and you'll be sure to find an endless amount of helpless information within the stickies at the top of the threads. Ton of great info in every forum!

welcome.

Start reading everything here for awhile (month at least)... then ask specifics once you inform yourself. Becoming knowledgable about the specific areas you want to improve is priceless.

Good Luck.
