I have found that swimming has helped strengthen my back. It allows me to exercise those core muscles without having to deal with the weight of my gut. I found it really helpful.

My wife/feeder loves to show me how easy it is for her to overpower me, whether thru strength or using her greater flexibility and range of motion... honestly, it is one of the hottest parts of the contrast in our sizes.

I am not quite at #1 yet, I can still get up by myself most of the time, and I can still walk for several minutes before needing a rest. It poses enough day-to-day difficulties that #2 scares me a little. (Yes, it is a turn-on intellectually, but just very difficult from a practical perspective!)

I had been gaining weight slowly and unintentionally over a few years. I was kind of oblivious to it. It wasn't until my wife (then feeder) suggested that I should gain MORE ... I'd never even thought of the idea of gaining until then! But that was my entry into becoming a feedee.

My doctor did do my BMI using calipers and measurements, and it was very, very high (he called it "super-obese" which in itself was a turn on!).

My wife is extremely well-versed on nutrition, so she's modified my diet to try to get the blood pressure down. I will find out if it's successful in September. However, she's also my feeder, so she's supplementing it as well to ensure there isn't much (or any!) weight loss associated with those changes!

When you decide to actively gain, finding a fat-friendly doctor is very helpful, but very difficult.

By the time I'd gained more than 100 lbs, I actually changed doctors, and that made it easier. I told my new doctor that I knew I was obese, I liked to eat and I didn't mind being fat, and that I wasn't interested in losing weight. This doctor encouraged me to continue exercise (swimming and walking, which I did until last year, and need to re-start). We sort of came to an understanding.

On my last visit I finally had my first "negative" health issue - high blood pressure. So I've been trying to change up the diet to get that back down, but we'll see how it goes... it did, however, give my doctor a chance to harp on weight loss!

I find myself in a similar position... I never would have imagined that I'd be attracted to a thin/fit person when I was thinner. Now that I am fat, I find the contrast with my fit partner so incredible...

Funny how if you keep an open mind, lots of things become appealing!

My peak month was, if I remember correctly, a little over 20 lbs. My feeder was convinced we could get to a pound a day, but it was very difficult. It took a lot of work - so much that sometimes it seemed like more work than fun at times! But her dedication (and my obedience ) paid off. But at a point it takes a lot just to maintain, too, so that slows things down.

I was 150 lbs well into adulthood. It was the gradual change in my lifestyle (older, slowing metabolism, desk job, stopped sports, started eating fast food) that caused me to gain my first 50 or 60 lbs.

I wrote about it here in the FF story section:

Being made to do things that I wouldn't normally go, but turn out to give me pleasure - whether it is being stuffed beyond what i want, or made to wear clothes so tight that I feel humiliated in public (which provides a perverse pleasure)...

Knowing that my resistance is futile, that my feeder has mental (and now physical) control and superiority to me, so my wishes are secondary to hers...
