Hello ... I'm new here. I just got my first bottle of Apetamin and started my journey to weight gain. Is anyone else taking this? If so I'd like you to join in on the journey so that we can motivate one another and share ideas to help along the way. I started out at 124lbs and my goal is to reach 145lbs by August 1st. Happy gaining and feel free to ask questions and leave comments.

Hi...im also taking Apetamin! I have been taking it since April. It really works...it gives you a appetite so that you can eat more than usual. My starting weight was 114 and as of today i weigh 128. Its awesome!8

That's great! What's your goal weight? I just started yesterday so I'll probably update once a week with progress. Also are you taking the 10ml 3 times a day or a different dose?1

My goal weight is 140. I started out taking 5ml three times a day due to the fact it made me so tired the first couple days. But after the third day i started 10ml twice a day and i just take it twice a day instead of three times a day. Whats your dosage and does it make u drowsy?-2

I take 10ml 3 times a day... Yes it makes me a little drowsy but not to the point where I sleep all the time.0

Did u get a big stomach while taking Apetamin? I have and im trying to workout at least twice a week...especially sit ups lol....seem like most of the weight was going straight to my stomach-1 -
I hate that.. I already had a lil stomach from stuffing my face before I ordered my bottle of Apetamin vitamin syrup; however I do it makes u gain weight so I'm gonna push myself to workout more and buy a shaper for when I exercise. I really bought this to be able to maintain my weight because my metabolism is crazy fast and I was told that it also slows it down. We shall see.. I hate the taste by the way. Lol1

I can't wait until Friday to weigh myself... I keep looking at the scale. Kind of tempting. Lol1

Apetamin doesnt slow the metabolism. Its pretty much just an antihistamine which can stimulate hunger for some. In fact most people dont even have fast metabolisms. They either tend to naturally eat low calorie foods or not very big meals.
Along with your current regime, the below thread might be helpfulto everyone in this thread.

I see.... However I actually do have a fast metabolism so in my case it's definitely why I struggle with weight gain/maintaining. I do know that this helps with apetite which is a good thing.

How many calories are you eating?
And have you had your metabolism tested?0 -
3,000 a day now since I'm trying to gain0

Well I literally just started my weight gaining journey on Friday of last week so I haven't weighed in yet. I'm going to weigh myself on Friday. Once a week and keep track of how many pounds I put on. I'll update as I go along. Hopefully I can gain up to 5lbs a week.-1 -

Well good luck. If you want to mitigate some fat gains, i would follow a progressive lifting program. And to gain 5 lbs of weight (outside of water) you would have to eat an additional 2500 calories over your maintenance level. This means you would probably need 5000 or more to achieve that goals.6 -

Are u a doctor? Personal trainer of some sort?1 -
Not being rude just wondering1

I am not. But I have been doing this for quite some time and understand a lot of the science through independent research. Not much different than many here.
Having said that, from the mathematical side, if you want to gain 1 lb, that would mean you would need a weekly surplus of 3500 calories or 500 per day (3500/7=500). So if you want to gain 5 lbs you would need to eat ((3500*5)/7=2500. This is above and beyond the calories you burn through your basal metabolic functions (calories you burn threw metabolism) + thermal effect of food (calories burned through digestion) + Non exercise activity thermogenesis (calories burned through daily activities) + thermal effect of activity (exercise calories). All those components are part of the energy balance equation. One thing to note is, the body can only create so much muscle. For women (based on genetics, training, macronutrient composition) it's roughly 1/4 lb per week. This means only about 1 lb per month.... so the remainder would be fat. If you do want some muscle gains (to help keep your body a bit more tight), this list will be useful.
If you look at the thread I posted, it has a lot of good suggestions for high calorie foods. It also has the statistical information on "hard gainers". Below is that breakout:Extending this into practical terms and assuming an average expenditure of 2000kcal a day, 68% of the population falls into the range of 1840-2160kcal daily while 96% of the population is in the range of 1680-2320kcal daily. Comparing somebody at or below the 5th percentile with somebody at or above the 95th percentile would yield a difference of possibly 600kcal daily, and the chance of this occurring (comparing the self to a friend) is 0.50%, assuming two completely random persons.
It's actually a very interesting phenomenon that occurs on fitness forums. If you are trying to gain weight and are struggling, people assume they have fast metabolism. But conversely, if you are trying to lose weight and struggling, people assume it's because of a slow metabolism. Its one of the reasons why I created that thread. Not only to provide a set of foods to help reach your calorie goals, but also some techniques that many of us have used to increase caloric expenditure.
I also love math, which has been very useful when it has come to working one on one with many of our members and setting up plans and providing analysis.13 -
Waiting for my waist shaper thingy to come. I will continue to do lower body and ab workouts 3x a week with it on and see what happens. Gonna keep pushing for 3,000 calories a day. I read good and bad reviews but what I always keep in mind is that not everything will work for everybody so never knock it b4 u try it. I'm all about trying things out for myself. I will update with pictures soon!2

I don't know... I've seen some great results and reviews. I found one on eBay for next to nothing so it's worth a try. Lol2 -
Just a side note if your hips are generally like they are in the before pictures you have what I consider an issue with your posture. See deviation 2 here. Routine stretches might work it out, but I'm not chiropractor. Completely off topic I know, don't hate me.3

Genetics will determine where fat is stored. Those results were from people who already were genetically prediposed towards gaining fat elsewhere4 -
Well okay AGAIN... we'll see!-1

So I've gained 3lbs so far so I'm at 127 lbs
Yay!!! Lol
These thighs are filling in, but I'm gonna need my stomach to STOP! Ha... Good luck guys, stay motivated no matter what.
