I am a gainer. Please don't laugh. I lived on extremely strong unsweetened black coffee until I started with MFP. I love the taste of it. Now, I am only having one cup a day in order to consume more calories each day. I miss it and wish I could enjoy it with cream and sugar!!! Hope you learn to like it :drinker:

If you eat a well balanced diet and exercise you can gain weight, look good and not be fat. That it is what I and other MFP friends are trying to achieve. I don't eat very healthily but I am trying. If you try to match the carbs, protein and fat percentages that MFP suggests then you will be on the right road. This after…

A mile for me please :drinker:

Whatever you do, don't fall into the trap of setting yourself too many goals. And, never set goals that are not realistically achievable. You want to feel successful so don't set yourself up to fail. I have seen too many people do that. I also use milestone goals. I have 3 pounds to go until I reach my next milestone. Then…

I tend to pick at 100g of fruit and nut during the course of the working day giving a cool 450ish cals. If I am still short at the end of a day I drink a hot chocolate made with milk and top it with some canned squirty style cream. Dark chocolate is also good, I eat a brand called bournville at 100+ cals for just 4…

You found me and i accepted your friend request. All my friends except annbexhill, my mum, are trying to gain :-)

You know you're addicted to MFP when you call it dedicated and motivated and your other half calls it an obsession :-)

Hi there, I am Toni. My profile and diary are open to the world. I too am trying to gain a significant amount of weight. I am 5 foot 7 started with MFP at the end end of September at 108 pounds. I am now 114 pounds. Check me out and friend me if you want. It is nice to have the support of people that you share goals with.…

I too am a fan of yoga. It stretches, tones and sculpts the body. There are.a number of free apps available to get you started if you have a smart phone or iPad :-) Basic Pilates is also very good. And, again there are a number of free apps available. Best of luck :-)

How many targets do you have? Me, I set very few targets for myself. I make them realistically achievable. That way, I have a great chance of success and can feel good about myself and my achievements. This in turn, continues to motivate me to achieve the next target. I am trying to put on weight so my goal iis to achieve…

Great question. I am trying to gain weight. And, please don't laugh, it is in fact very difficult to consume enough calories daily. It is hard to stay motivated. But, to answer the original question..... Personally, I don't have free days. I could potentially lose any gain I had made and I wouldn't want that. I.am no…

I log gains cos I am trying to gain weight but the ticker doesn't work properly for us "gainers" see below :-(

Hi to both gainers. Did you know that you are able to view which members of the group have recently logged in, ie. are still active? This means you can have a look at the profiles of the members and send friend requests to them if you feel you have something in common. I have sent you both friend requests. I don't think…

Hi there, I am also new, only just into my 3rd week. Very, very motivated still. I have been eating between 2000 & 2500 calories every day. I don't have the healthiest diet and I have managed to put on 3 pounds. I am no nutrition expert by any means but my doctor advised me to eat more fat than carbs initially. He said…
