Anyone else gain the freshman 15 and beyond? My first experience with weight gain was when I went to college. As a guy I was relatively fit and when I went to college I weighed about 150lbs...my sister joking said "watch out for the freshman 15!" and she patted my belly. I used to tease her when we were kids because she was chunky and I was slim. My first term at college was party central...by Thanksgiving I had put on about 15 lbs and by Xmas 25, all to my belly! When I went home at Christmas I tried to suck it in...but my sister was not fooled..."Let me see that beergut, you are trying to hide!" she said. So I took off my shirt and the poking and teasing began! I loved it meanwhile pretending I was embarrassed. By the end of first year I was 45 lbs heavier and today, my sister is a aerobics instructor and I and her big bellied brother at 220lbs! Love to hear other stories of the joys of weight gain.
