I’m a 43 year old mother of two , who is looking to gain weight. I’ve always been small since my depression stage. Thank god I’m over it but have not been able to get my weight back. About a mouth now I’ve increased my calorie count to 3000 a day which my normal was like 500-600 a day . I start this journey at 120lb a month ago and today I’m at 127lb.

Welcome! Though MFP often appears to be geared exclusively towards people looking to lose weight, there is a healthy subset of us trying to gain weight, so you are not alone!1
