    I'm O+ and might know a surgeon that will transfer some pounds at a reduced rate since we're bringing our own materials... Let me know *wink*

    My mother doesn't seem to be able to gain any weight and gets highly irate when I mention sharing some of mine, or my advice to "Just eat for god's sake."

    She's 5'7" 111lbs and feels too skinny. Can't manage to eat more than a mouthful and has a natural inclination towards healthy food. I'm pretty sure I was adopted.

    But all that said, being too small is just as painful as being too fat. She has the same body image problems that anyone overweight has and has been picked on all her life for her "chicken legs."

    Welcome and good luck meeting your goals. :)

    Hit the "Quote" button under the comment you would like to respond to.

    In other news, feel free to pick up any pounds I lose. I won't want them back.

    Best wishes, kiddo! :drinker:

    I'm currently bulking. There are some unique struggles that come with adding weight, but none of your friends want to hear you complain about it.

    I know someone who is also on MFP to gain weight and is doing well, but you don't hear too often on the forums from people who struggle to gain weight.

    Welcome and I hope you are successful.

    Welcome! Check out the "Groups" tab under the "Community" section. You can search for groups of MFP's who are gaining. =)

    Good luck!

    I think people forget there is definitely a healthy way to gain. Which isn't easy!

    Although based on your photo you look to be a healthy person, I wish you the best in your fitness goals :)

    Like others, I am here to lose weight, but in the end it's all about getting healthier, right? :wink:

    There's probably pretty few people on here that are aiming to gain weight, but there's lots of supportive people either way! I'd like to support anyone no matter what their goal is. Good luck!

    I do sympathise - until I was about 35 I was at best at the lower end of healthy BMI and often lower - at one point I weighed 110lb and I'm 6' tall, at that stage I was actually forcing myself to eat really high calorie foods because my weight was so low (I was working waking nights and didn't adapt well). So I know it's not funny. I think there are quite a few recovering anorexics on this site trying to gain, and I'm sure others as well.

    You'll also find people struggling to eat enough calories - long story, you'll soon find out - who may be able to offer advice about dietary choices.

    In my case my metabolism kicked in with a vengance in my mid 30's, so now I'm trying to achieve some happy mid-point!

    Good luck to you though, and I hope you find the site supportive.

    There are people here looking to gain. I am currently eating 3300 a day & appear to be just over maintenance, it is (insert expletive here) hard work & not as much fun as people assume. For me it isn't about eating everything in sight BUT eating properly so as to minimise fat gain, it is a slow hard road. Good Luck :)

    Welcome to the site! I hope you are able to get the support you need here. I'm sure there is a group with similar goals if you search under groups.

    I have found the best way to respond individually is to hit the Quote button instead of the Reply button.

    Yeah I can relate to that - my father used to refer to my legs as "looking like matchsticks with the wood scraped off" LOL
