Gaining

I think it really depends on where u start of and also your lifestyle

For me i did not feel it that much in the beginning.
I used to Bé quite sporty and also wore quite loose clothes. When work got more and i excercised less i gained quite a few (20pounds/10kg) i notices that i got a bit bigger but only when my pants did not fit did i really notice thé extent. It is also that i for work wear really loose clothes.

Also when i really felt it when i excercised again and everything just felt heavier, jumping was heavy and i just got quick er out of breath. From that Point on i started noticing more and more. (Belly folding when bending etc)

Anyways eating soo much is great so for now thé trade off is okay i guess

At 5'9" and 171lbs I only just started to feel a little bit chubby. I used to be 130, next to no body fat. At 150 I could see I had a little body fat, at 160 my tummy was no longer flat, my thighs were a little thicker and softer, I could feel fat in places that never had any.

Now my tummy is definitely a little soft and round, there's a little fat on top of the pecs, thighs have some jiggle (they were always thick and muscular before, so now they're kinda chunky), butt is a bit softer. Instead of seeing my ribs I see a little tiny fat roll on my side. Nothing wild but it's definitely noticeable and I enjoy it.

I used to wear small shirts and 30x30 pants. Now normally wearing 34x30 or 34x32 pants, medium shirts fit well, most small shirts are too tight around the upper body and often too short now.

Physical activity wise it's hard to judge. I haven't done much running lately so it's hard to tell how much slower I am. Walking long distances is fine. Definitely notice the extra weight doing body weight exercises, but I built more muscle too so that offsets it a bit. Definitely going to keep weight training so the weight doesn't get the better of me. Ideally I'll be much stronger in the future.

I dunno if this counts but I first realized I was fat quite early on, and was kinda shocked so it made an impression. When I bent over to look at my bellybutton my belly would form many tiny rolls of fat like an accordion. Then one day I noticed it was just three bigger rolls, sticking out farther too. And not long after that just one big fat pouch with a slight dent around the navel.

I kept a bit of a potbelly always, but my weight stabilized for a long time. I didn't really check or gain or diet intentionally. Then one day I noticed my lower arms were brushing against the sides of my belly as I was walking instead of just hanging by my side without touching my body. I was so turned on I couldn't get home fast enough, weighed myself and then ate so much and so fast I almost made myself sick.

I was very lean and toned, I first started to notice when shaving chest and stomach. — chest was not as defined, ribs not as visible, and abs softened.

Less noticeable after I had softened a bit, until clothing become tight.

In my case it seemed just over the weight that they state you are overweight. This is 175 for me and I really noiticed changes when I got past 185. I was pretty consistently 155 -162 for many years. About 10 years ago I found out that I had a fetish for fat. I think I knew it all along but did not realize what it really was. I can thank this site for that! Anyway I went on a short binge and got up to about 170 - about where my 33 inch jeans were getting a bit tight. Did not notice much else. Stopped for a while and then lost the increase. Then the thoughts came back again and this time I went to 180 pounds before going back. At 180 I was in 34 inch jeans but my shirts were pretty much OK - as long as they were mediums! Did not notice much as far as my body is concerned and would not have considered myself fat This last run-up has been different as I am now 196. The 36 inch jeans are now getting tight and my shirts are binding, especially around the arms. When I went past 185, and especially past 190 I could see and feel the differences. I feel the fat under my arms now and they push my arms out just a bit. The tiny belly from before has ballooned into something that pushes out and I feel when I sit down. I am starting to notice a bit of touching of my thighs now. In my case 5 to 10 pounds over your overweight mark. I cannot wonder what "obese" feels like which 210 for me.

I feel like now that I’m up about 15lbs you start to feel the extra weight. I can feel the top of my thigh gap closing and even if I suck in I am starting to have a small belly especially if I’ve eaten. I also seem to be eating way more and craving bigger meals. Just tired on clothes because I’m moving and I can’t get most of my jeans and shorts past the middle part of my thighs. I also feel like when you weigh yourself less, when you step on the scale and see the number the next day it’s all more noticeable. But I don’t weigh myself often so it adds to the surprise. Also you can start to notice where you gain first for me it’s ass, thighs, then after it has no where to go boobs then stomach. Though this will probably change after I reach 150

Over the past couple of years I experimented with gaining for the first time. Stuffing and binges, trying to keep the calories up. I wasn't very consistent, but my weight would go up in little bursts of a 2/3 lbs around holidays/xmas/periods of stuffings. I'd panic, and watch what I was eating for a while, but the urge kept coming back.

I went from 112 lbs a couple of years ago, to 129 lbs currently, +17 lbs. Ive always been whip thin, very little to zero fat, and I'm still slim, but my whole body has swollen outwards; everything has gotten bigger. Thighs, arms, shoulders, butt (which ive never had); everything thicker. And the places that showed the slightest sign of storing fat a couple of years ago, (mainly my belly and waist) have puffed out with soft, jiggly fat, so i feel like ive got this spare tyre-like chub around my middle. I can now feel it shift and bounce if I'm moving around alot, particularly feel this in my chest, which I'd never had a scrap of meat on before.

My clothes "fit" but they're all alot tighter, always around the shoulders. I mainly wear my partners shirts and tees. Feels like some of my smaller stuff catches on my filled out body, mainly my belly and waist. I stretched out a bunch of my older jeans at the crotch and had to buy new ones, in denial at that point until someone pointed it out and gently suggest I need to go up a size... I have a pair of shorts that have always been tight on me, and now they are so tight I bulge out everywhere, spill over the too, and it's getting harder and harder to button them up.

It's been an experience, getting fat is great and real hot. I could lose weight (i think), and have over the course. But it always comes back quickly, and my skin always keeps that puffy, new fat look. Been maintaining this weight for 6 months or so, not sure whether to give in and push for another couple of lbs, maintain, or work out.

For me it was around the 15 lbs mark i guess.
i was on pain killers and whatever else and just didnt care.
Then the doc said for me to take a break from all meds and its like a fog lifted off my brain. While i was sitting on the couch i felt something in the way like when i would bend to get up.
I cried when i realized my sweats were below my belly

I started putting on weight around my mid-30's, but I wasn't even concious of it until I could barely close my jeans one day. I ended up gaining about 75 pounds, the last 60 intentionally. In regards to really feeling the weight, running and climbing stairs come to mind the most. Where I had been pretty light on my feet, now I felt my stomach bouncing and jiggling when I ran and I was quickly out of breath. But when I tried to run up stairs is where I could really feel the extra 75 pounds of fat. I loved it by the way. Wish I had kept gaining.
