Cattastrophe:
Hi so I'm an only child, and adopted and so I don't share genetics with my parents. And their both fit people so it wouldn't help anyway. My weight rn is 108lbs or 48.5kg and I'm trying to gain to 180lbs or 81.5kg. I'm 5' 7" and was wondering if any other girls have started at a similar height and weight and have gained that much. I am trying to guess how I will look or see people who have done what I'm trying to do. Or just looking for advice or what to expect especially since I've never been above 110 until this year. I am moderatly active and used to competitively run, but i don't think that's important.
I'm 5'1" and used to weigh around 180 lbs which means my BMI was 34 (over 30 is considered obese).
I was very fat but most people didn't realize just how much because my fat accumulated on my limbs rather than belly and I had a thin-ish face with a small double chin.
At your height and 180 lbs, your BMI will be 28 (overweight). Depending on your fat distribution (which is hard to predict unless you've been fat before or have fat family members) and fat %, you could look anything from pudgy to pretty fat.
I wish you well on your journey. 💜
