update. I started back eating a bit more and opening up my diet to more foods and dessert.

Thank you! I cut so much from my diet to lose a few pounds and I think I overdid it. Hoping with adding a few things back and having dessert a few times a week i can get back to a comfortable weight.

Hey there. It took me years. I did alot of weight lifting, high calorie shakes and eating. I am naturally small so it took alot of effort to gain it all. Covid helped because It was alot more time to eat. I ended up getting up to 157. I lost weight and now I want to gain some back

Thank you everyone !!! Yess the trolls will hate whenever they get a chance, I appreciate the positive thoughts

Pic of me at 150

Yes if you go to my profile you’ll see that it’s a mix of both. I’ve maintained a solid physical appearance but also gained some curves. I’m finally 150. I love it. I plan to Continue working out & lifting heavy weights, I don’t think I’d be upset if I bulked up a little more as long as it’s muscle.

Thank you !!

Ive been very happy! I have no health issues, besides i am overweight but barely. I love the way my body looks now...sometimes i do feel like i dont see myself for all the weight i have gained, but i get good feedback from others.

Hey there

thats great to hear! what did you do to get back into a routine

lol i havent been able to i went from 140 to 145.. I dont mind the extra weight

same! I've been trying to eat healthy, but I guess i Have been eating more. Got on the scale today at im 145, up from 140.

update...its been a few weeks and for the most part ive been able to maintain. my work pants are getting a tad tighter, but i dont mind it too much. I think its okay for me to eat a bit more now, since i want to gain some weight ,but still keeping everything else in check how is everyone elses quarantine going

Yes I would have to agree. I wouldn't say that I look overweight....I still get called slim quite often. I do have curves, but I'm overall still pretty small (and completely healthy with regular checkups). Sometimes the slightly overweight (per bmi) actually is more attractive physically to some as well as long as you're…

I havent been working out much due to all thats going on. But yes, I have alot of muscle. I want to weigh 147 because I felt comfortable at that weight.

I'm not trying to lose weight, but I dont want to gain a lot either

also, I havent been working out at all.

Hey there! I'm half afro Brazilian and half afro American so I understand your struggle. When i first started using my fitness pal in 2011 i was 5'4 and 110 pounds. I had the same issues with being body shamed and just not liking my body. I was about 20 years old, but when I really put in the work.... made sure I ate at…

thank you! I have been eating alot of pasta and drinking a milkshake (heavycream and ice cream) for dessert. I hope to gain 5 pounds rather quickly.

my goal weight puts me in the overweight category. goal is 5'4 147lbs.

mini goal for me is gaining back 5 pounds to fill out my clothes again! currently 5'4 142 goal 5'4 147

bumping this topic....update. I got up to 147 and loved it....trying to get back there... currently at 142

Hi everyone! Ive been on here for years, but Im back now and hoping to get back to the goal with some motivation from everyone. Started on here in 2011 at 5'4 and 108lbs, got up to 147lbs, but recently lost about 8lbs. working on getting back to 147. I like being curvy.

Yes very similar, how long did it take you to reach your goal?

Im pretty conflicted right now. I know most of you are trying to loose weight. I keep questioning if I should gain more weight...to 145lbs. Im 142.3 currently...started at 110 and I am 5'4 female. Let me just say, I work out regularly and I am toned. I believe alot of my weight is muscle because I do not think i look nor…

ive always been small, even still now. SW: 110 CW:142.3 GW:145 im 5'4

I totally understand, I am now closer to 145 and im just now starting to see that I am out of the "skinny" range...

I actually wanted to get to a 3 or 4 from a 1. I love the way that I look now, but I would like to be a mix of a 4 and 8...Im pretty toned now, but want a thicker look.

I started at a 1 and I'm currently at a 3 or 4...

I definitely see where you are comingfrom with this, but I do believe some races carry weightdifferently. Some have more muscle and weigh more thenthey look
