Will we gain weight if we stop going to gym and working out?
Yes & no.Yes you will gain weight .The food you take daily & the extra calories consumed eating junk food will not be burnt in work out and consequently results in gain in weight.When you are in working out mode your body has a revved up basal metabolic rate (BMR)but that would slow down if you stop the work out & consequently the extra calories you have consumed through eating junk food and/or eating a little extra everyday or week would result in weight gain.But remember even when you are working out in gym pigging out on junk food would result in weight gain.No.You do not need elaborate gym work out or high intensity cardio outside gym to control weight gain.All you need to do is keep minimum work out or just work out when you feel like subject to time available to just keep the BMR not slowing down.Most important control your eating by not pigging out on junk food & daily intake of food is to suitably adjusted to prevent extra calories getting loaded (as this results in weight gain)Adding a daily walk through out the day & keep moving & fidgeting helps to burn calories to keep your weight in check.A gym workout helps in building muscular mass ,bone density & strength by use of different equipment available there & used by you regularly.But you could do plenty of resistance exercise everyday with body weight - work outs at your own convenience or a simple pair adjustable dumbbells could be useful to maintain physique.Most important is not eating too much food everyday/week/month/year & that is the key to stop weight gain.I do not believe in dieting which is very tough on the body & mind .All the extreme dieting tricks leads to failure & a rebound weight gain so I am personally not for it.

Im FREAKING scared! gaining weight on prozac!!!!!!!!!?
First of all, Prozac is weight neutral...meaning that it DOES NOT cause weight gain. I understand that you're scared right now of gaining weight, but if you continue to do the things that you did to help you lose weight, then you will not gain weight. That being said...5'8" and 130 is normal, I wouldn't try and lose any more weight right now. You are coming close to a low BMI, and losing much more weight would NOT be very healty.
How do I gain weight without working out?
The ultimate size of this calorie surplus depends on your weight goals and on your comfort level. You must settle on a calorie surplus that feels manageable so you can gain weight successfully. If you're healthy, have a high metabolism and a good appetite, you may be able to add 1,000 extra calories to your daily total, with a projected gain of 2 pounds weekly. But if you have a small appetite and are overwhelmed by the prospect of weight gain, a modest increase of 250 calories a day can help you gain 1/2 pound per week. Alternatively, consult with a dietitian to assess your caloric needs and to decide on a weight-gain goal.
WILL I GAIN WEIGHT FROM THIS MED?
Prozac and Wellbutrin have actually shown weight loss with some patients. The Buspar (As I assume you meant) also has no reports of weight gain with its use. The Gabapentin (Neurontin) does not list weight gain as a side effect. While it is still possible that you might gain weight, it is unlikely that these drugs will be the direct cause of it. Most antidepressants do cause some weight gain, but the ones you are on do not. If you find that you are gaining weight, a simple diet and exercise regimen can help to curb it. I too gained weight while on antidepressants, but have been able to manage any weight gain with exercise. Best Wishes.

I ate 3 donuts tonight. Am I going to gain weight?
I ate a normal dinner tonight, but after that I convinced my mom to buy some donuts. I ate three and I'm freaking out over whether I'll gain weight or not. I got a belly ache afterward and sat down. She says its okay as long as I didn't do that everyday. She also said that considering the amount of exercise I do (Meaning P.E. walking home after school and working out), it wouldn't affect me. But I don't believe her because she's always worried I don't eat enough because I'm still recovering from an eating disorder. Plus she's forbidding me from losing any more weight. And a friend said I have a fast metabolism because usually when I eat what I feel is a lot and I go to the doctor, the scale says I lost weight. So would I gain weight after eating the donuts? Even if I work out once the food goes down? I'm freaking out.
Anorexia Recovery: afraid of gaining weight?
You need to realize you are going through hormonal growth at your age, you can seriously mess that up by not eating enough and be under-developed for life as well as having other health problems associated with Hormone disorders. So keep telling yourself you will worry about getting fat when you get older. Chances are you have a frame and metabolism that you wouldn't actually ever be considered fat, other than by yourself. Go with the Oats over the cereal, much more nutritious and in the slow digestion it keeps your blood sugars stable, which will help keep your moods stable. Don't weigh yourself too often, might even serve you well to get rid of your scale. And don't spend any more time in the mirror than you need to. Most people don't have flat stomachs, eating, water retention and bloating and a healthy bit of fat storage keeps them from being completely flat. It's no big deal. It's just that you've grown up in a time where so much attention has been drawn to how a person looks. And it winds up getting over-blown in your young mind. And don't compare yourself with others, everyone has different genetics, eating habits, and such and most of the girls you see now, will look completely different after they pop out a couple kids. Focus more on your health, it will take you a lot farther in this live, giving you so many more benefits that just focusing on your looks ever will! It's a long life and it can be awesome if you are healthy and very miserable if you aren't. Start increasing your calories and keep reminding yourself that you are growing, and need them. You can sculpt your body more in a couple of years, but for now you need to do the right thing so you don't mess yourself up for the long-term. And by sculpt your body, I don't mean starve it, I mean Exercising with a Sensible Diet. You can do light exercise now, like walking that may increase your hunger, but with being so calorie defiecent anything more could cause problems ( again hormonal growth, you becoming a woman and so much more). Good-Luck
How can a skinny guy gain weight and develop a fit body?
So its time to hit some heavy weight training ...At your age my weight is around 49kg and after trying hard for around a year i gained about 15kg ..having 67kg at current ...total lean muscle ... and six abs too..So first off all you have to make strict desciplanary daily routine to enrolled with in both diet and weight training ..It should contain some heavy .. means really heavy compound exercises and lots of carb-protien diet .. you should able to consume at least 3000/3500 cal a day mostly from clean carb and protien based diet .. and you could not consume such high calories unless heavy weight training. Be clear do not enrolled with Isolation exercises it will contradict your muscle rather than expanding it will tone them ..Train only one muscle group per day .. that way it will help them to recover faster .. as ex.MON : ShouldersTUE : ChestWED : TricepsTHU : Thighs [Its necessary to hit thighs .. so it will boost testosterone level which help to recover quicker and enhance stamina]FRI : BackSAT : BicepsSUN : Abs And after each and every workout drink protien shake ... otherwise as beginner just plain milk with chocolate syrup and a banana.Break down your meal to 6 small meals per day .. and each 3 meal should contain Protiens size of your fist .. like Chicken,fish etcInclude Eggs in your diet like 6Eggs/dayDo not suppliment your body untill you get used to heavy weight training for more than 4 months ... otherwise its just waste all efforts and money.Drink another protien shake right before going to bed .. for first 4 months plain milk would be good enough ..It will show results beyond your expectation .. and after 4 months of strictness.. iam talking about very strict training ... if you willing to go on supplimainting like Mass Gainer or Whey protien ... your body gonna get ripped lean masculine with quality of weight gained .Wish you all d best ..
