Fat experiences

For skinny people who got fat: how long did it take you to cross the threshold?

I noticed dedicated gainers who packed on the pounds usually take about 4-5 years. From my personal studies, I've seen on average 120 lbs gain within 4 years (not including extreme feeders/gainers).

How much did you gain and how long did it take you? Will you ever go back to your previous weight?

I think it was maybe a year and a half for me to go from 120 pounds to 200 pounds.

I gained 75 pounds in like 1 year working at mcdonalds but I have gained much slower since then

Originally in 2020, my first gain, it took me about 9 months from 140 to 190; sadly I lost all of it when I got sick-
From March to the end of 2025 I clawed my way from (a very unhealthy) 120 back to my current 170. I hope I can do the same again this year as that would put me to a comfortable weight.

Close to four years. I started at 165 in June 2023 and now I am topping out at 202, almost a 40 pound gain. I am really noticing the feeling of getting fat now.

I'm around 100 lbs heavier than my smallest, 80 of them were over the last 5 years.

The idea of "the threshold" is interesting. I think I first started feeling like a small fat guy maybe 30 lbs ago, that felt just-barely over the line. Every pound past that is more weight piling onto a person who has already started feeling fat though, I feel thoroughly transformed by this point.

For what it's worth, I have only ever increased my goal as I approach a weight I was okay letting myself reach. Maybe some people have more self control, I thought I did for a minute there, but here I am fatter than ever and ready for more 😅
