I'll miss skiing. Even tho I skied few months ago, when I was only 15-20 lbs heavier, I found it to be much harder to ski. It's much more difficult to maneuver with heavier weight, and challenging to keep going- I got out of breath so easily.
I'll try skiing again next year even if I'm over 200 lbs. I'll have to try some muscle building exercises for my legs anyways so I can support myself when I'm gaining (my goal is to be in 300s range). We'll see how that goes!

Even though you will miss skiing.....I can't help but feel it is exciting at the same time to already be at a weight where you struggle with it already. I agree with you even what we feel is a modest gain can certainly change things quite a bit.
I have played sports my whole life.....not competitively anymore for some time but I still lift weights fairly aggressively and train regularly.....that is while I am not on a gaining kick.
Even when I gain my first 10-15 Lbs. my body reacts differently mostly with any of the stretching, cardio or Ab exercises. Being that when I gain it goes mostly to my belly.....and doing Ab exercises is much more difficult with my belly getting in the way. I tend to work out much less and almost take a break while I am gaining but as I return some months later with anywhere from 30-40 Lbs. total gained I feel a bit insecure and it is embarrassing not to mention almost impossible to do Abs..... not only because of the size of my huge Gut in the way but I struggle to lift my extra weight up in that position. Running on the treadmill is even a more shocking discovery....30 minutes before was an easy routine....now after the first thirty seconds I am slightly winded and sweating, not to mention I feel like my body is moving and bouncing in many directions....it actually hurts my big belly to run at this weight. After 5 minutes on it I feel like leaving the gym and going to eat.
There are so many mixed emotions that go around during this time....Embarrassment, insecurity, guilt, vulnerability, excitement, arousal..... almost like I have turned into a totally different person physically in such a short time frame. My belly has become huge as well as gaining in my face and other places slightly, I look less muscular. I like it best when I start to lift and I build up some more muscle/bulk but my appetite stays hungry and for a another month I look like very muscular with a hug fat Gut and puffy everywhere.
