I'm currently starting a new journey in life to gain weight. To most, that sounds ridiculous. But for me, it truly is a struggle. So, with that being said, I'm looking for a great support group. Any ladies interested?

I would like to join a group, I have been struggling in weight gaining and through my whole life I've been put down about my weight. I am 27 and I am currently underweight as well I am now a vegetarian so it will be a little harder for me to gain weight at this moment. I haven't had the greatest supportive people so I am looking for a support group who are as well joining me in this journey in weight gaining.

I'm a pescaterian so I know the challenge in trying to gain weight without the meat sources. So I'll help be a support system. We can do this

I been skinny my whole entire life I can't seem to gain a pound for nothing

Hi, im also in need of weight gain. Increasing food intake and also weight training. Would love some new friends to keep on track and share tips with. Two years ago i won a local strong woman comp...but life took over and i lost a lot of weight in the following few years. Bit scary starting over again! :-)

I'm down for some gains. I have had 2 children and still look like a bean pole- the more the merrier!!! Let's do this!!!

I'm in!

Hey everyonen, I'm eighteen years old , will be 19 very soon. Tired of going thruough life with people making fun of my weight. My weight is always jumping back and forth between 100 and 108 for years now. Hoping this chat and app helps brings me motivation and pounds (please don't judge because of my age )

I am 23,5 feet 3 inches and just 35kgs! I've been underweight all my life. I am sick and tired of pointing and staring and skinny jokes. It's hard for me to gain weight because a) my metabolism is genetic b) I'm an engineering student and its hard to focus on my health as well as studies. I have to gain at least 10kgs. Anyone on the same journey as me add me I could use any motivation I can get thank you

I'm only 86 lbs (27 yrs old) and seriously need to gain some weight can't even wear shorts/skirts my legs are toothpicks

My legs are toothpicks too! I'm so self-conscious about them. I desperately want to put weight on before it starts getting warmer here (Oz)

I just started using this app yesterday to hopefully help me gain weight, I've been trying to gain for years! I've always been thin, but I often just wish there was a little bit more of me, sso that I feel better about myself and maybe I could sit on my but and not feel my bones on the chair lol I am 89 pounds right now and my goal weight is 105. It's nice to know that others have the same struggle I do, especially in a world where it seems everyone is trying to lose weight!

I'm gaining too. 119lbs at 5'8, no bueno. I want to get to 125 by 23rd of August but my ultimate goal is 130-135lbs.

Hey ladies,

I hope you all can get some gains happening! I just read through this thread and thought I'd share some info as I have been seriously under weight (I feel your pain) for a long time and I'm managing to turn it around.

There is a program that is used in the body building world called 'GOMAD', the acronym is for 'Gallon Of Milk A Day'. A gallon is pretty extreme but overall for anyone who is struggling to get their weight up it can be very handy. Whole milk in general is a great way to get calories (1 pint = 370 calories), it also has a high protein count so it will help on the muscle building side of things if that's the kind of exercise you are doing, it does have quite a lot of sugar and saturated fat so it's not something you would want to keep doing forever. The GOMAD plan is used for rapid weight gain.

Also for anyone who struggles with consuming a lot of food in solid form it's an excellent way to get some liquid calories. It's not done to replace any of the normal diet but to add to it. A small tip though... If having some whole milk to add to your nutrient intake, best to have a glass after a meal, not before or during. It does make you feel full so have your meal first, then when its settling, have a glass of milk. You'll feel kind of bloated for ten minutes or so but the feeling soon wears off.

Good luck and all the best.
