Just wanted to say hello to everyone!
Using this site to help keep track of my calorie intake in hopes of gaining a few pounds by the end of May. Hoping the increase in calories like my doctor suggested helps or else I'm just meant to be "skinny as a rail".
Best wishes to everyone and their weight loss/gain :)

    THis is actually the first time I have seen your post. I am happy to say "Welcome and Good Luck". I will not be able to relate to your needs, though because I have always been fat. Probably most people just don't know what to say because it is mostly overweight people on here. Anyway, no hard feelings? I wish you all the best. :flowerforyou:

    lol I don't ever really look in the "newbie" section.

    But welcome! :drinker:

    I know many people probably don't understand the woes of an underweight person, but my good friend in HS was a beanpole and HATED being so skinny. She got teased the way fat people do.

    I hope you find what you need and I hope you can gain some healthy poundage!

    New here today! I have pre diabetes and have lost 40lbs but have stalled in weight loss with about 35lbs left to go. Hoping to get encouragement and hopefully meet some new people.:smile:
