Tickets for weight gain?

So obviously there are signature tickers for weight loss, but where are the ones for weight gain?

Fitness is not just about losing weight. It can be healthy to gain weight as well. I say that as a 5'11" guy who used to be 130 lbs (now 164 and climbing).

So, MFP, what gives?

    Food.
  • Food.

    and then eat some more.... eat big to get big!
  • Ditto - I sent a msg to MFP several weeks ago but never heard back. We have to motivate ourselves, I guess. But we can support each other, so good luck!

    It would work fine if they would just allow for negative weight loss.

    My ticker is about as best as you can do for gaining. The numbers are in the right order, but the checkmark doesn't move and the big goal numbers are stuck on 0.

    the world hates on people dedicated to putting on mass. Bodybuilders are always protrayed as dumb and ego-centric on t.v. and in movies. This is what IMHO contributes to the lack of support. That and most people are overweight and trying to lose in comparison. I agree with all of you.

    Waldo-

    Do you make your ticker move yourself over time by updating your weight?

    On a similar train of thought...

    How much weight does one have to gain for MFP's estimated maintenance intake to actually increase automatically?! I started inputting my weight on MFP finally, and after a 1 lb gain over the past few days, I thought I'd see a 5 cal increase in maintenance. Nope.
