Thank you everybody, great advices. I loved your example here, VacMan. You described it in a way I never thought of before. I'll remember that when exercising.

But would you guys recommend me to first start eating more (someone mentioned 3000 calories a day, and 6-8 small meals a day), and gain more weight first, and then after gaining some weight, begin exercising? What will be the best approach in my situation right now? I don't wish to lose more weight, so I feel it could be right to "make the building more solid" and have a better chance to make it even more solid when beginning exercising later. Instead of risking to make the building weaker by starting exercise right now, while I'm still not eating as much as I should...

I appreciate your advice, guys.
