Ok, I'm about 5 weeks into the muscle/bulking up program and ab program. Seeing quite of but of muscle, definition, etc, etc, even the family said they saw improvements, but I have not seen any weight gains?
So I'm as this point with this question. Asimmer gave me a nutrition plan I'm going to switch to this week and get on, and now I need help with this.
What supplements should I use? Creatine? Which whey protein drinks? What else? Need to add lots and lots of bulk/muscle/weight, I will tone it down after I get to a good size.
Thanks!

Just eat the good diet. You don't "need" any supplements. A well constructed diet is very anabolic. Protien supplements will be all you need, and these are only needed post workout for quick absorbtion. Only being 5 weeks in, you do not need creatine, and leave the weight gainers on the shelves. Nothing but empty calories in most of them that will add scale weight maybe (fat), but that is all. The "good size" you get to will not be very flattering.

Listen to bb1. He's absolutely right. Leave the supps on the shelf. Yiou are doing well without it.
You probably lost fatty tissue and gained muscle. Thats the reason for no weight gains. Have you done any measuring? You might want to start measuring if you haven't.

Get your diet in order, and this is the way it goes.
Most people progress from no visible abs to 6-pack abs like this:
1. The whole ab region starts to become visible and separation between the rectus abdominus and the external obliques starts to come out.
2. The abs start showing more separation on the vertical sides and in the center at the linea alba.
3. Separation starts to increase at the top of the abs, showing a 2- or 4-pack at the top.
4. Finally, the whole 6-pack (and in some people, an 8-pack) becomes visible.
