    I'm 5'3" and 103lbs. I'm trying to get up to 120lbs. I've been thin all of my life but not this thin. Increasing my calorie intake has been such a struggle. My goal is to eat 2,000 calories a day. Feel free to add me so we can motivate each other.

    I'm also trying to build, I'm 5'6 and 115 lbs, trying to get stronger. I've started lifting twice a week, whilst building up strength. It might not seem like much, but I did nothing of the sort before, so I feel that's progress. Besides that I wakeboard and go for walks, so I keep active.

    Always been naturally tiny 5'8" 112. I really have never liked it. Oddly enough I got smaller after I had my son. 7 years later I had enough with people asking me if I eat.

    Trying this app out. Doing pretty good. I eat a lot of vegetables so at the end of my day I feel like I am scrambling to meet the target calorie count. And my other issue is most of my calories seemingly come from my drinks. Is that ok?
    Anyone else having this issue?

    On a good note my scale says I am up 2 lbs. Being an old weight loss concelor I think water weight but hope not.

    Hi misslace

    I have issues as well, being 6 foot 7 and was always underweight I decided a while back that I want to get big. Everyday I am short of calorie goal and can find myself searching the cupboards at night. Feel free to add me

    I'm 5"3' and 115 pounds. I'm also trying to gain weight as I'm quite thin. Even though I'm only an inch taller than you but almost almost 20 pounds heavier is interesting. I am quite active though. I have very little body fat and a small frame. I'm working to put on muscle and maybe a wee bit of fat (ideally in the right places but I know that's not how it works). Anyway, we can be weight gain friends!
    Awesomeness! It's nice to know I'm not the only one with this issue, I gave you an add

    You're definitely not the only one, ladies! I'm 5'4" and around 92 lbs at the moment, and I'm here to gain some weight. I've always been tiny so it never really bothered me that much, but I'd like to reach the 100 lbs mark. :)

    I'm with you girl ! I've been consistent for about 4 months now ! A year ago when I started, I used to be 92lbs. Now I'm currently 102lbs. There are not many people who understand how hard it is to gain weight as much as it is to lose weight.

    I was obsessed with losing weight, making my waist smaller n smaller, along with that I also lost any butt I had as well as my boobs. So I've been making it my goal to gain some of it back..as muscle. I've been stuck at 110 for 4 weeks now..its a struggle trust me. I've read that tracking your macros can help with weight loss and gain, so I'm going to be trying that out.

    I'm also 110, so I can totally understand. Good luck with your gaining!

    Hi! I'm trying to gain weight and build muscle. I started about 3-4 weeks ago, and started using MFP to calculate macros. I'm 5'4", started at 115-ish, and now weight about 120...(we will see when I do my weekly weigh-in on Monday morning) I workout 6 days a week, and lift heavy.

    Anyway I'd love to have a weight-gain squad too!

    Hi! I have health issues that make it really hard to gain weight. I'm 5'11 and 100 pounds. My goal is to get to 140 and reevaluate (I've always looked and felt best around this weight though). I will try to start lifting with my old personal trainer again in April. Feel free to add me!
