Hello, I'm currently 139lbs 5' 6" and my goal is 165lbs by June 1st! I eat 3,800 calories a day easy peezy, but it would be fun to do this with someone with similar goals.! According to fitness pal with those calories a day I'll be 161lbs in five weeks, but we'll see.
What is your weight gain goal?
When is your dead line?
What is your current weight and height?
Any supplements?

Why do you want to gain so quickly? Assuming your goal is to gain primarily muscle your pace should be much slower. Even on a strenuous lifting plan gaining 26 pounds of muscle (or even half of that) is impossible in 2 months. If you successfully reach your goal the great majority of the gain will be from fat.
Unless someone is already underweight (with yourcurrent BMI of 22.4 that does not appear to be the case) where adding a lot of fat is a good thing I see no good reason bulk up so quickly.1 -
I'm looking for a weight gain partner not a weight gain critic. If I was interested in peoples two cents the headline would've been "weight gain advice" obviously gaining weight that fast would put on a lot of fat that's the point in my case! Carry on now✌1

Not trying to be a "weight gain critic" but, I don't think you will find many people who want to gain that much fat..
Someone who is lifting weights and trying to bulk to add muscle will aim for maybe 1 lb a week max.
(When I bulk I am going to aim for a gain of about 2 lbs a month.)
Why are you aiming for so much fat gain?
Also, I wouldn't put much confidence in MFP's 5 week estimate as it is known to be wrong.0 -

That's a good goal. How's the app been working out for you? How long have you given yourself to reach that goal? Do you exercise?0 -
I'm trying to gain 20 lbs within the next 2.5 months. My current weight is 95lbs, but I'm 5' even. My goal weight is 115. It's been so hard for me to keep my weight at 100 so I'm trying this out! I'm consuming 2,200 calories a day.. Way over what I've been consuming my entire life! My deadline is June, I'm hoping for the best!0

Good Luck! How's it going so far? Around 20lbs is my goal as well, if June is your deadline you'll need to consume at least 3,000 calories. Do you exercise?0 -
Yes. But, it's difficult for me to do anything in a gym because I've got 2 young daughters. So this is definitely going to be a challenge for me. Good luck to you too!0

Hi I'm 5"3 I weigh 108 I want to weigh at least 130. I absolutely love this app. I've been using it for like a wk now. According to this app I should consume 2,645 calories a day & I take Apetamin to increase my appetite & to lower my metabolism I take it 3 times a day & so far I have good results. I weighed myself this morning I'm up to 1130

Not trying to be a critic but assuming you are natural, you will only be able to put on maybe 2 pounds of muscle in that time frame and that's if you are focused on building muscle and doing everything right... Having said that, that leaves you with roughly 24 pounds being all fat and water... Not going to be a good look but sometimes it takes learning experiences like this for you to fully understand how your body will respond so good luck!0

That's great, good luck! When is your deadline to reach 130 or are you just going til you reach it? I was thinking about the Apetamin but heard it makes you tired and groggy, have you dealt with that?0 -

Thank you! I've been exploring with yoga and I walk/jog everyday but I don't think those things alone will cut it so I'm going to start a routine of squats, lunges, sit ups, etc. What work outs are you avid in?

That's great keep up the good work, it takes time I know. Once you get the hang of it you'll be able to add an extra 500 calories! Don't forget to exercise a little.1 -
Hi, I'm on a weight gain journey also. Im 5'6 and when I started my journey on March 25 I weighted 114lbs. I started taking Apetamin on the 26 of March and trying to at least take in 2,500 calories but be slacking on that sometimes. I also drink the Ensure Plus twice a day. But I weigh myself every week and I now weigh 120 as of April 1st. My goal weight is 130...but I definitely have to workout more and try to increase my calorie intake. But it just seem so hard to do. What kind of foods do u eat for calorie intake?0
