I was so afraid to start the bulking process, worried about gaining weight after losing. But, I'm up about 5 pounds from my lowest weight and I actually look better, who knew? I kinda wish I would have started sooner.
Anyone else bulking for the first time?

I totally understand the fear factor of bulking after losing the weight. I lost 130lbs and it really messed with my mind when I started to bulk. I found, like you that I definitely look and feel better heavier. I just finished my first ever bulk and put on almost 30lbs and my waist measurements never moved so that's a win to me. Now however as it was a long bulk I am cutting,

Stick to your plan and you will be happy with the results.

My husband keeps trying to get me to gain, up to 120, says that I would look so good at that weight. I have a hard time dealing with the gains...

Yeah, I go back and forth. Today I felt really bloated. It's definitely a mental battle.

That is the same thing my husband is doing
He told me to put on some weight, that I would look nice, especially since I already had nice shape.
I have gained 3kgs in 3 months and still going. I currently weight 143lbs (it is not enough since am 5'8" tall)

Well done!

I gained 14 pounds on my first bulk, I've just finished a mini cut losing 2.5 pounds of fat now back to bulking because it's Christmas and I want to add another 14 pounds.
