[YPrrrr]

Ok, I'm down from 185 to 160... I don't think that's healthy

[Slim]

I'm 5'11'' and in the 180-185 range and I'm still pretty thin. I can't even picture how skinny some of you must look with the numbers you're posting. Pretty much everyone who's posted in this thread needs to gain weight, in my opinion.

[YPrrrr]

Weird, bmi says that's overweight

I'm trying.

It's really hard when you're poor and can't afford to eat a lot.

Not sure if you're kidding or not, but BMI assumes that a person is sedentary and therefore doesn't take body composition into account. It's meant to measure populations, not individuals, since the vast majority of people in any population will be sedentary.

Yeah, it can be tough, especially if you have a fast metabolism, which I'm assuming you have. When you can afford to eat more, I suggest taking up weight training as well. And this advice applies to most of the people here, not just you--especially the ones who are 6'4'' and only weigh 160, if there's anyone here like that.

I suppose I should try weight training...  I just feel like an idiot on the machines, and I don't know what to do with the free weights.

yeah it really helps to know a good lifter to help you get started. if nothing else just do static holds

all you have to do is stand there and keep your body tense. you can actually get pretty buff from just doing that exercise. just do 3 sets for 20 sec with heavyweight then one more set medium weight for as long as you can, do that 3 times a weeks and you'll see improvements. as long as you're focusing on keeping all of your muscles tense it'll get you pretty strong.

I have pretty good upper body strength already from dancing, though.  I just need more muscle density.  Will static lifts build muscle?
