I also posted this in the "Introduce Yourself" forum but thought I'd have better luck here!
Hi all! I'm a 24 yo female with a history of disordered eating, and I'm looking for a little support and encouragement, either from people in the same boat as myself or from people who are also looking to gain weight for any other reason! Hoping to hear back from someone (anyone!), and good luck to all of you, no matter what you're here for

Hi, just wanted to wish everyone who is wanting to gain weight the best of luck. I know how tough it can be because I suffered from an eating disorder when I was younger. Wouldn't think it too look at me now, I need to lose weight. Again best of luck.0

I'm right behind you on that boat.
29 yo female that has always struggled to gain, then maintain. Feel free to add me, been on here less than a week and I already feel I'm improving, fingers crossed you will feel the same!0 -
Good luck on your journey !!! I'm looking to gain as well . I'm on a serious mission !0

My personal goal is to gain 50 lbs. So far 22 lbs gained in the last 94 days. Last 3 years eating has been a mental challenge for me. Eating means I have stop what I'm doing which is usually working. I'm trying to get over viewing eating as a major waste of time. If i could take a pill and get all the nutrition as regular food i would've tried it unfortunately. The last 90 days have been a successful change of mindset. I like the challenge of figuring out why I was not eating right or working out at all and making the necessary changes to enhance self improvement. What ever your hangup is, it's up to you to change it. Don't look back unless its to review progress and see your personal growth.0

16 yo female, same history of disordered eating, only younger, haha... I want to gain the weight I lost in the past few months, and maybe gain some more. It is quite a problem to take care of my body with so many things to do at school and so on, but I hope I can do it before my weight starts to be a real health problem.0

Hi. How's it going? We can help each other in this journey. Try to have a healthy breakfast. How can I help you?0

started MFP to track my calorie requirements 4 weeks ago. I started at 135 and so far im at 138#. I bike regularly to increase my appetite but i lose about 700-2500kCAL depending on the distance that day. BUT MFP lets me how much mre i have left that day and try to catch up. Well good luck

Breakfast is not necessary if you don't have an appetite for it, but some ideas are:
Ensure or other on-the-go shake
full-fat Greek yogurt with fruit and granola
Granola bar w/peanut butter)or other nut butter) and banana
Breakfast tacos
Oatmeal/hot cereal with protein powder and nut butter/nuts and fruit
You can always add a glass of juice or milk for extra calories and nutrition.
It really doesn't matter, as long as you like it:)0 -

Wow it's so nice to hear from all of you! This seems to be such a supportive community. Since I decided to start recovering on my own about a year ago, I've only managed to put on a consistent 10-12 lbs. I've never been in the average/healthy weight category for my height of 5'9", and even before my struggles with eating I was always naturally underweight, so I feel like my body is content with being 107 lbs. I, however, am not. I would like to be at least 120, which is heavier than I've ever been in my life so I don't fully know how to get there! I'm going through a period of stress at the moment too so unfortunately I've dropped a couple pounds. If only I was a stress eater!0

On board. 155lb at 5'10, 31yo male.
Wanna gain 10-15. I workout too much and eat too bad at times. Terminal calorie deficit. I don't enjoy eating is my prob. Many love to eat. I do not. I see food only as fuel.0 -
Leaning out at the moment coming off a clean bulk...but I am forever perusing gains.0

Hello!
I think breakfast is absolutely necessary! Try to get a lot of protein in. Eggs are great. I hardboil them at night (if time is a concern). I do lots of peanut butter on English Muffins. I try to do easy. Greek yogurt, love love oatmeal with walnuts and brown sugar plus craisins.
How are things going?0 -

I'm glad the tracking is helping. It's helping me with new recipes I saw something with 2 eggs and a banana. Mix it up in a batter and cook them into small pancakes. Seems easy and good.0

I need help maintaining, and possibly gaining because I'm going through lots of problems with my husband and am probably headed for divorce. I am definitely not a stress eater. I lose my appetite. I lost 124 lbs here and now I'm down to below my recommended weight, but feel pretty good. Just really don't need to lose any more. I need help and encouragement to keep me from losing more, and the road to gaining if I do.0

That is typically a recipe that is recommended for people trying to cut carbs. If you're trying to gain weight, you'd likely do better to have regular pancakes and either mash bananas into the batter or just serve them on top. More calories to help you to reach your goal.0 -
Ok. What are some alternative lunches. Quesadillas and turkey sandwiches are getting a bit stale...0

Hi, I'm a 28-year-old female. I've been underweight most of my life. I'm 5'6". I had been maintaining between 108 and 114 for about 4 years and then in the past year I dropped to 100. I'm trying to gain what I lost and then some. I'd like to be a healthy 118 by the time my husband and I are ready for kids in roughly two years. Feel free to add me.0

Just wanted to say I understand what she means by slim thick. People are so caught up in either wanting to be slim or hating on the slim for being that way its hard to understand. People treat us natrually slim people like we are evil even though 95% of us eat what we want but fat doesnt even get to know our bodies. Im 28 with an 8 year old and am smaller than i was before ever getting prego... I lost all my baby wieght (20 pounds) in about 3 months! No gut no stretching nothing. I rapidly lost wiegh after stopping my birth control 2 years ago and now having fertility issues since my wieght is low. But no pun intended im soft in all the right places i actually do the wiggle dance when i pull up my jeans but I just want to add a bit more cushion, so lss I know wjat she means when she says being slim thick. Honestly keep drinking lots of water, take Maca and Flaxseed, and Womens Multivitamin will help stabilize everything.0

As for lunches, an easy way to increase the calories is to add avocado, cheese, or mayo/salad dressing to your salad or sandwich. Go for full-fat items instead of "light." If you are stuck in a turkey rut, try ham or roast beef.
I also add protein powder or 1/2 protein shake to my coffee after workouts.0 -
I bought avocado. I'm having trouble cutting it. Do I scrape the dark green by the peel?0
