New to this looking for tips and advice

Hey everyone! I guess we all have to start somewhere, i will tell you a bit about myself so that i can give you all a base to where i am at.
25 years old, 5 foot 3, 110 pounds ( on a good day, most the time i am less closer to 107)
i used to be a very active runner, and more "static" working out, like pushups sit ups burpies ext. never lifted weights.
i have had two kids, youngest is just over 2 years old now.
i train in the gym about 5 times a week lifting weights and a regime a friend built for me, pro body builder, working areas chest/tri's, back/bis, shoulders, and legs. we throw in abs every workout.
i have been told to do little cardio work because i drop weight really fast. this is the main reason i started in the gym, i wanted to gain weight but could not keep on body fat, so i decided that adding muscle weight was the way to go.
i eat a very clean diet, i have not eaten red meat since i was 3 and eat only chicken turkey and fish. i do not each much sugar or carbs, i drink amazing low carb low cal protein drinks ( 47g of protein per 50g scoop) i tend to eat about 5-6 meals a day. i do not eat take out food very often and never eat "fast food". take out meaning restaurant. is there any help i can get i just dont seem to be making any progress.

welcome TeenyTiny!!! so glad you found this board and there are plenty of members and vets who can help you here!!! In fact you will want to browse the Nutritional Resource Forum and then start a thread with similar information you posted here, cuz this area is a place for you to say "hi" and members to say hi to you There are sticky notes under each forum at the top that contain various information on a variety of topics.

There is another gal, BrownGirl, who was also wanting to add size and she did it threw diet and exercise. She has been off the boards for the summer, and here is the link that you might find useful...
