Ever Struggle with Gaining Weight?

I'm sure ectomorphs can relate, but gaining weight can be quite hard for certain people, especially when you're skinny your entire life. Anyway, I guess I'll "brag." I was skinny all the way through mid college, then I decided to do something about it to be healthier. By eating excess in calories and lifting through Les Mills Pump which it's a lot of fun, I was able to gain about 40 pounds in 3 years (yes, it was a long journey, but I made it).

I think health is something that we can't take for granted, and it feels good to be healthy and I feel like I have more energy. I am inspired by everyone else's stories too, whether they lose weight, gained weight, or reached their own personal milestones. I enjoy reading happy stories, so thank you for sharing them with me as well.

    Still lurking on these forums I see Suzaka? ;) Good seeing you're still around though, LOL. On a serious note, I find myself in a similar situation, gaining weight is hard for me...so good job to you. I think it's time to go stuff myself with some food now, and then hit some weights, hah. Any tips?
