I've been working out for some time now. I've been a very active person all my life; I've been a diehard skateboarder for the past 10 years of my life, and still love it. After realizing how thin and unhappy with my strength and appearance I was, I tried to find a comfortable route for me to build muscle in P90X. I did well with that, but found that I was not bulking up, only getting toned. I stopped about half way through and got a gym membership, and have been stumbling around there for the past couple months trying to figure out what I'm doing.

I'll head right over there, thanks man!

Hey all! Super excited to be here. I've lurked the forum for the past couple weeks and finally pulled the trigger and made an account. I've been vegetarian for almost a year, but since starting working at my local Trader Joe's and being surrounded by great vegan alternatives almost daily, I've found the transition to being vegan much easier. Unfortunately I'm stuck in a 5'6" frame, and weigh a measly 120 lbs. right now. I'd say I'm a hardgainer, for sure. I'm quite toned, though! Hoping to study up hard on some good workout plans and I'm gonna eat everything in sight. Any tips for hardgainers? Especially vegan hardgainers? Thanks again for having me, can't wait to be posting and absorbing info like a sponge! -jsalem
