Gaining

Congrats 👍 I can relate to 200 being something of a plateau. Trying to surpass it in the new year!

Back then, when I was at a shopping mall, GNC had a scale. Therefore, I put a quarter in the scale to weigh myself.! weighed in at 227.5-lbs. I was astonished that I was well over the 200-lb. mark. I said to myself that I gained twenty-eight pounds with excitement.

I remember trying not to go over 200. Then 250 showed up on the scale. Now 269 shows up regularly...

I just hit 200lbs myself. I have a more active job too.: )

I think around 215 pounds I truly felt fat. I had a proper belly and a soft fleshy chest. It’s funny to look back on that time now because if I got back to that weight I’m sure many people would comment on how skinny I’m getting.

my experience was that a bmi of 30 was where I just began to feel it. Which makes sense, it's official yet only slightly over some kind of line. I'm around 210 these days, so for relative terms, BMI of 34ish- and lately has been when I'm starting to feel it at all times. Feeling some extra weight and heft both at rest and in any kind of motion etc.

one thing I need to do more of too is remember the journey, and how it's the real deal now every pound from here is only more noticeably fat, past obese.

That's the way it was for me...for a long time, I only got a bigger belly and so I had to keep eating and gaining until I got boobs and a double chin like I wanted. You'll get that all-around fat look eventually; you'll just have to keep pigging out.

Almost everyone ends up gaining more than they think. I'm over 300 lbs now and still think, "Ten more pounds..."

I'm struggling just to break the 300 pound barrier. And yes almost all of my excess fat goes to my big fat belly. And I love it
