    i gained a pound, i think it was from eating crap at my friends house though. lost it a couple days later plus a little extra. my therapist is gonna be so disappointed she was excited when i told her i gained a pound.

    It's so hard to get those calories to stay. I find that I'm always gaining a few pounds then losing a few pounds a few days later. I need to remember the more exercise I do the more I need to eat.

    For hard gainers I don't think 2000 to 2500 is going to be enough to do the trick. I never saw any results until I started eating a minimum of 5k a day.

    this is so true!!!

    i don't want to gain weight but my outpatient team hadn't weighed me in a long time, and when they did again (i had gotten sick with lyme and had lost my appetite and were concerned as illness causes set backs many times for people recovering from eating disorders). i am down to 106 at 5'5 and they want me to gain to 120. idk how to do that, it sounds terrifying. when i first gained weight with them i was in a research study taking zyprexa and i ballooned up super fast, and was not comfortable with that at all. scared that will happen again, back to only mostly consuming fruit and veg. feel free to friend me anyone trying to gain as well maybe we can help each other out.

    Was this in Ottawa because I was in a zyprexa research study too

    You are not alone! :)

    I have been hovering around 95lbs for the past 5 years. I'm hoping this website is gonna help me get up to 110lbs.

    I am too! Been trying to gain weight off and on for ten years, but it takes a lot of hard work and dedication.

    I'm currently trying to gain some weight :)

    It'd be nice to have some more friends that are trying to gain weight!

    I'm a little late to the party, but I'm also trying to gain weight by reverse dieting! I was wondering if any of you have any tips on how fast to increase calories (like how often should I up them, and by how much?)

    100 to 200 calories per week
