Hello,

I'm 5'6" and 133 pounds at age 24. Most guys my age and height are in the 150's. I know that the healthy ideal weight for my age and height is between 118-130 pounds but I've been told by those around me that I look really skinny... I really want to gain weight safely without it manifesting in one area. The heaviest I've been was 165 pounds, but I looked like a pear with twigs for arms and legs. I have no idea if it's genetics, but when I gain weight they usually go to my thighs and stomach area. My goal is to safely gain weight that is even distributed throughout my body.

Prior to October 2012, I did not form of strength or cardio exercises so I am hoping that by doing these things along with a healthy calorie intake, I will gain desirable weight instead of ugly weight. Feel free to add me!

Hi, I'm 18 and am trying to gain weight because my parents are worried about me. I recently lost some weight due to stress and just general sort of depression really. I've also tried to be healthy eating but it got a little out of hand and now cannot seem to eat cake/chocolate/crisps etc.. both because my tastes have adapted and i am scared of them. This sounds stupid and i apologize if it is in anyway triggering or tedious to read however i have jut convinced myself that all these things are so bad and wanted to be thin so long that i now could really do with some help. It's so hard when your friends are dieting/not eating properly etc.. and i am forcing myself to eat more than i want. Anyone in a similar boat? could really use some strong role models. I look gaunt and i know i will look better if i put some weight on , i just don't want it to be fat . confusing!

Hi I'm just getting started here on MFP.. I was keeping track earlier this year and eventually stopped because I was having a hard time keeping up... 2000 calories is a lot, I guess I'm a bad American!

Anyway I'm 24, 5'7" and about 107 lbs. And that's after gaining 5lbs this year... so it's slow but possible! Especially hard with a mostly vegetarian diet. Great to find other people that are trying to gain, there is no pity for us when everyone else is trying to lose weight

Hello everyone,

I have just begun the second half of my twenties and now am looking to focus more on bulking up. I reside in the middle of nowhere, new jersey where support and motivation is extremely hard to find. I am 6'3, 185lbs and my goal is to convert some of the existing weight into muscle and perhaps add another 10 pounds of muscle.
Now heres the tricky part, I am not looking to bulk up on saturated fats, sugar, etc. I want gain weight from healthy foods which is very hard. I welcome anyone who has a desire to gain weight from a healthy source. We can discuss new ingredients, work out plans, ideas. Please add me to your friends list, I look forward to all the new inspiration and motivation.
