Gaining

Just wondered what sort of waist sizes you blokes are ?
I have been deliberately gaining for about 4 months now. I was a 33" waist up until I stopped weights/training/strict diet. I measured myself tonight, and I'm 38". So, 5" in 4 months.
I'm starting to feel quite porky, but I guess I'm not exactly fat yet, not compared to some of the amazing belly's I have seen on here !

I had 31" in October when I was 160 lbs.
I totally exploded and now with 202 lbs I have 43"...

I started out thirty years ago at 36" at about 185 lbs. I'm now up to 46" and weight about 220 lbs.

I'm up to a 48" waist and now weigh 232 lbs.

My girlfriend went from 25'' when she was 120lbs in 2020 to 52'' now weighting 210lbs.

When I first started out I was at 38".
At the very start of 2022 I was 52", but now I'm 57". Most of that gain happened in about 6 months though, then it slowed down a bit.
Would be nice if I could do the same again this year.

Last year I really overdid it and I finished the year being the fattest in my life, being 230lbs I had 51'' in my belly. I was so fat.
Now I lost 30lbs and I'm 42''. I want to lose some more to do sport, let's see.

Several years back while I was intentionally gaining after I had an accidental gain initially - I picked on close to 60 lbs. in around 6 months.

I wear my pants well below my gut - but I was a 34” starting and had one pair of 40” that fit but my 38” were very snug. That being said these were worn on my hips well below my gut sticking out and measuring at 52-53” being stuffed & bloated all the time.

I'm at a waistline of 41-42 inches.

Always was around 190 pounds 32 inches. 6 months ago I was 200 pounds 34 inch waist and now today im 232 pounds 36 inch waist and im 5ft 11. My goal right now is 240 pounds and ultimately 250.

At 430 pounds, I was about 59 inches. Now (405) I'm probably about 57?
