Gaining

Piled*
Darn phone autocorrect.

I've gained about 55 lbs since college (my BMI is 31 now) and it's only just now starting to give me a belly. From 180 to 195 is almost the same amount of change as from 140 to 180, if not even more of a change ftom a smaller gain, and I know once I reach a certain point, each pound is going to make a much bigger difference. Anyone have a particular number where their gains starting being exponentially more noticable?

Yeah, for me 215-220 is when I started to look noticably overweight. At 230 it ssyrted to feel like I was invisible, people made less eye contact and it seemed like I was just completey invisible to 99% of the women I walked by. Of course one in a hundred , maybe one in five hundred gives me a positive response. The next point where I began to feel much different was around 245. At around 260 where I am now I'm beginning to feel noticeably soft and fluffy in places. Now on my way to 300. 270 was my previous highest weight.

I think for me in the beginning was the most dramatic change going from thin sinewy muscles to bulky muscles with a belly in a matter of three years. People that hadn’t seen me since early college to right after where extremely shocked. I was more of. Muscle chin with lifting but in a matter of three years my metabolism changed and became very muscular thick with a small gut. Another change was when I intentionally gained. While back. It’s funny how once you are bigger you sometimes don’t even notice an extra 20 lbs. gained …..and them all of a sudden you do with reminders of walking by a mirror (must be one of those weird fattening mirrors), or your T-shirt not pulling down over your gut (must have shrunk in the dryer) or these slacks don’t even fasten (they must be an old pair from a long time ago that are several Inches smaller in the waist). U til you recognize how much food you pack away in a given day. I am a fairly tall guy but I would say when I was over 250+ lbs. I definitely felt bigger and heavier…..although I didn’t think I felt as Fat as some may have thought I looked. I guess the best answer to your question is it may come as a surprise all of. Sudden when you are not paying as much attention.

\my ex girlfriend went from a skinny 110 lbs to a lean 130 with no big differences, a part from looking generally better and less bony.

I would say some real difference was noticeable when she approached 140, when a lower belly roll appeared. From there any pounds seemed to have an impact. What was a little roll at 140 was a juicy roll at 150, and a spare tyre at 160, just growing fuller, wider and going all around her waist now at 175.
