Hi everybody,

I'm AK and i'm an alco...i mean a gainer.

I'm 23, around 5'10", CW about 165 lbs, GW = 180 lbs. I eat anywhere from 3.6k to 4k calories a day, usually 35c/45p/20f. it's disgusting and i got so sick of eating food all the time that i started using weight gainers. Universal's Real Gains seems to work the best for me. I'm a strong believer that it's not only the amount of calories but the macros' ratio that matters to gain clean weight.

I will be a fitness model eventually, so you'll probably see me on bodybuilding.com at some point or some fitness magazine covers... i tend to be ambitious.

Feel free to friend me, if you want.

Hey!! I'm Grace! I am currently trying to gain weight. I am around 5'6 and 95-100 pounds. I used to be 110 but I started eating healthier and stopped drinking soda. I guess I wasn't getting enough calories because the weight fell off of me. I am too thin and have had healthy problems because of it. People say I look gross and I cannot start my peril being so slim. I want to get to 105 pounds. My parents say they want me there soon!

Hi everyone! I'm so glad (relieved really) that there's a group like this!

For the last two decades I've been dealing with a critical illness. For most of that time, the medications and symptoms caused weight gain. In the last two years, however, I've been losing weight -- I'm 5'4" and went from an unhealthy 150 lbs. to and unhealthy 100 lbs. for no apparent reason. I struggle with chronic migraines, joint pain, nausea, and loss of appetite -- not so conducive to getting the bare minimum 1200 calories I need to stop losing.

Alas, it is what it is. What can you do but make your best effort and not get too down on yourself those days when your numbers come up a little short.

I look forward to learning from all of you -- it's wonderful that MFP provides a space for us to share our experiences.

Hi my name is Jordan Lombardo I'm a 21 new student at NIU, and I was recommended to this site by my doctor. Through a combination of a high metabolism, genetics, mental anguish, and I admit, some nervous OCD about nutrition I am currently underweight and trying to get back up to a healthy weight. My goal is to try to get up to a healthy weight again before I start classes.

I tried tracking calories and what I eat before, but it turned out to be no fun, but my doctor wants me to log what I eat and the general caloric value of what I eat. The hardest part is eating foods that I know aren't good for me that I should be eating, but mainly I just want to enjoy eating them again and not having to worry all the time about what I eat and just eat normally like I used to again.

Based on my age, gender and height I'm supposed to take in at least 2500 calories a day, which is hard because I love keeping active and have been a little too obsessed with nutrition for my own good lol. I plan on majoring in Political Science to help others, and I also enjoy cooking and baking and hope to work in a bakery or diner one day.I hope to find and give support through site as well to anyone who's willing to listen, thanks!

Hey,
I'm 20 years old, and I need to gain about 20 kg. I don't know how much I weigh exactly, because I haven't been able to weigh myself in 9 months, but I have visibly gotten thinner and my period has stopped so I know it's not good. I think I might be under 50 kg now (I'm 1.78 long).

I don't have an eating disorder, just weird metabolism. I have been too thin all my life and even when I was on 3000 kcal a day I did not gain weight.

I once managed to gain a little and make it to 57 kg, and not even by eating as much, just reducing stress in my life. But since I became bedridden I have been losing a lot of weight so I'm here again... I need to eat at least 1500 kcal a day as a first goal (I get really sick from all the pain and meds, so that's quite an accomplishment).

Hi all.

So glad there is a group for skinny skeletons like me. My profile is there for all to see, as is my blog and food diary.

Briefly though, I am female, 5 foot 8 inches and weigh just 7 Stone 10 Pounds.

I am hoping to put on a stone by Christmas.

My New Year's Resolution will be to keep it.

I will be weighing in each Tuesday morning.

Good luck to all of you in your pursuit to put on weight.

Hey everyone I'm Shellie! I've been on MFP for 40 days now, I'm 5'5 and I started at a tiny 90lbs. I'm now up to 96lbs. and I want to get up to around 120lbs! I'm a vegetarian and because of my job I burn about 500 calories, and then after work I try to work out the rest of my body and burn more calories (eeeek!) I'm currently trying to up my calories to 3500-4000 a day (I know! I'm insane!) and it's really, really hard, but I'm learning so much about my body. And also learning how important it is to worship things like cheese and avocados!
