Im looking to add some muscle to my frame, I have recently lost 40 lbs and have decided I need to add some lean muscle mass so I have started P90x

Me too. I lost about 15kg (33lbs) in the first half of this year. Now I'm hovering about 68kg (150lbs) and looking to bulk up a bit. I started P90X on the 17th of August, so I'm in week 4 at the moment.

I never gain weight by eating (genetics) because my body refuses to store much body fat (and I am not young). I do eat healthy and drink ensure (been drinking it for years (it is good for getting the supplements I don't get in foods). I am naturally cut (which just amazes my wife) but I do exercise and like to take 2 hour walks in the evening (good for the heart). I don't eat much meat (especially red meat because I don't like lard in my system), and don't over eat but rather eat until I am full and no more. I believe trying to live healthy will not only help you live longer but also gain in PE.
I think another think which has benefited my through the years in not really drinking alcohol and not doing drugs.

This will be my year of additional self-improvement. Am considering porcelain teeth veneers amongst other things.

My self improvement goals are to make more and more music and improve while doing it, possibly enrolling into a school (although they're over 20k in tuition...). I have come very far from where I have started, and will be a well known name one day, not a choice for me man.

Constantly trying to get my powerlifts stronger.
Expanding my consciousness.
Try read at least 5+ books a month.
Try to write every day.
Try to spend some time every day listening to/playing music.
Try to sit down and just have some to think about things, rather that be deconstructing and reconstructing myself, ego, expanding my consciousness, thinking about ideas, spirituality, meditation, art.
Try to really connect to people sexually, physically, mentally, and spiritually.
Do my best to help clients reach their physical goals.

I have no time for wasting time.

you sound a lot like me, eat well, excersize moderatly (due to injury or id still be training hard), cant put weight on for the life of me, my gf is amazed how im naturally ripped, however i used to smoke drink and take a lot of drugs, now i just drink on occasion.. i used to drink ensure, lots of it...but now i cant get hold of it without paying a fortune for it. i was under a dietition and she done absolutley nothing, she told me to eat loads, i did, i gained no wekght, my lung collapsed and still she would not put me back on ensure to help me gain. how do you get yours? i really cant afford to go spending £2-300 a month on dietry supplements just to gain weight.

i do eat loads of dairy protein and shit loads of rice, pasta, meat, porridge etc..so im eating healthy and heartily i just cant seem to move my weight.. the heaviest ive ever been was 13st 2oz and i looked awesome, but lost it all after my kids were born and i was working more, damaged my back and had to stop training heavy.
