Need help deciding if i should gain or lose weight

TwistedBike:
A friend suggested I should aim for 500 lbs since I'm currently 490 lbs, but I'm concerned about weight and health problems even at 490 lbs. I'm also considering a weight loss journey at my current weight. What are your thoughts

SumoSized:
That's a really personal question, and one that's hard to give a solid response to without knowing the full context. Have you experienced any health concerns or do any serious health problems run in your family that obesity could make worse? And do you think the joy of gaining weight is greater than those potential risks?
I'm not saying this to dissuade you, it's just important to listen to your body in these situations. If you decide to continue gaining weight you can try to mitigate potential risks like trying to stay relatively active and taking the more difficult route of eating healthier foods in large quantities rather than mostly junk food in order to gain weight.

TwistedBike:
I've been wanting to lose weight I've just not been sure if I should. As far for health concerns none as of yet luckily but my father's side of the family has had a history of asthma but I haven't inherited it.

Okay so now I'm confused, is it just your friend who's pushing you to gain weight, or do you want to? Because if you're afraid of the health risks and want to lose weight, then by all means you should

Weight gain before and after stories?

I've told this story in other posts but when I first realized I had this kink I started off as a fat admirer, and was afraid of gaining weight myself. I was in wrestling my freshman year of high school and honestly that led me to a really toxic relationship with food, I don't know if it was extreme enough to be classified as an eating disorder but it was certainly close. Then the pandemic hit later that school year and the only thing that kept me sane was weightlifting. I ended up going from 126 all the way up to 180 in the next two years of just muscle mass. At a certain point I also began getting some belly fat too, and I think something clicked. I was talking with some of my friends who were saying they prefer their partners to be on the chubbier side (both male and female), I was able to realize that I didn't need to have washboard abs to be attractive I could be chubbier and still look good. And after I started letting myself gain weight I realized I actually really enjoyed the feeling of being heavier and now I'm up to 220. I've been at a plateau for most of this year but I'm hoping to push through it soon

What's the most amount of weight you've put on in the shortest about of time?

For me it was 45 lbs in a year, mind you this was before I became a feedee so it was mostly muscle. For whatever reason my body puts on muscle way faster than it wants to put on body fat

Light exercise?

This is purely anecdotal but I've found that on days I work out or are just more active in general I have a larger appetite and I can easily eat way more than what I burned by being more active. It also just makes movement in general easier so as you get bigger you don't have to take as many rest breaks while you're going about your day. Or worse it might prevent/delay a health scare which might force you to slow down or lose weight. So I strongly believe everyone regardless of if they're going for a muscle chub look or just straight up fat, should try implementing some amount of exercise into their routine.

Stuffing vs inflating

I've only barely dipped my toes into inflating but my plan is to use it as stomach capacity training. But since my long term goal is to gain weight, stuffing is really more practical

Tips for couple who cannot gain?

Rustyshackleford:
Hey everyone I hope this is the right place to post this. About a year ago I started dating my girlfriend. Maybe 6 months ago we discovered we were both super into gaining. She's into being fed, I'm into feeding. Since then she's slowly gained some weight sorta unintentionally. She says she feels as confident as she's ever felt. She looks amazing and I can't stop myself from touching her body constantly when we're at home and we're both really enjoying ourselves.
We're kind of trying to plan for the future right now and talk about how much she wants to gain and all that. She told me she thinks at some point if we go too far with it she's gonna start to feel weird about her body. I don't want this, obviously. She's so incredibly beautiful and I think she'd look fantastic if she continued gaining at this rate, but ultimately what matters to me is that she's happy. I wonder if anyone here is in a similar boat? Do you have any tips for a couple that might really wanna gain and give in to all these desires but can't?

Thanks!

Just let her take the reins and decide where she wants to stop. You can still feed her during your stuffing sessions, but let her decide where she wants to take her body. Once she does reach her peak you could try air inflation. It'll give her the sensation of getting bigger but won't lead to her gaining weight. Really just play around with things and listen to her

My girlfriend keeps getting fatter


English Feeder:
Exactly???
Live and let live.
We don't know the dynamics.
Also for the vast amount of the population of the world they would not have a positive view of this web site. Because of our common desires for obesity. Feeder or feedee??

No not at all. We don't know all the dynamics but the ones on display are already abusive. What I'm saying is that the signals he's sending could indicate more abuse, but that would require more information. When your feedee is really up there in weight that requires a lot of trust in their feeder to care and help for them. You give up a lot being that weight and there's a reason not that many people in this community actually fully commit to it. He's just throwing his partner into the deep end without her understanding what's going on.
And that has nothing to do with this, yes this community is more taboo, but that doesn't mean we get to promote domestic abuse

My girlfriend keeps getting fatter

English Feeder:
My partner is in a wheelchair. But it was something she wanted years before it became necessary.
She enjoys me pushing her and taking her to restaurants and public places. We live in England and disabled access is available everywhere. Not that we use public transport but buses can lower there suspension. ( A few exceptions old buildings ) She has a made to measure bariatric wheelchair. We have found that the general public and staff are always helpful and accommodating. Holding doors. Finding suitable access. But regarding the general thread there are several ways of looking at it. If i was not accommodating in my partner's need for a wheelchair would she have chosen to loose mobility to where she needs a wheelchair? I have on occasion gone to the pub ( i like a ale ) i have had enough ready to leave a mate will say don't go yet let me get you another pint. It leads to what we call a session.I end up having a curry or Chinese maybe a kebab on the way home. End up getting home early hours. Wake up with a thick head. Was it my mates fault??? No....
Did i have a good night? Actually yes
If you apply that to the current thread everything is ok. We don't know the personal dynamics of the relationship. But i do agree there could be red flags. Everything in life is fine provided it's by mutual consent.

Munchies:
You didn't read the thread either.

The issue is not "fattening your partner so much they need a wheelchair." If both you and your partner have had open, honest conversations with enthusiastic consent on both ends, I don't care. You do you boo.

The issue is he did not do that with her. He made is extremely clear that he "convinced" her to do this. She did not want to do this. He's been subtilty manipulating her until she made her peace with her circumstances.

I'm not looking for subtext. I am reading exactly what he said. I am taking this man at his word without adding or subtracting anything that he's said.

Don't defend people just because you are trying put on a shoe that doesn't fit you. It ain't a cute look.

English Feeder:
Looks like you make a lot of assumptions . I can read by the way.
Lol

My guy it's written in plain text that he's defending systematically making her feel inadequate and dependent on him. That is just flat out abuse and manipulative as hell. I literally assemble wheelchairs for a living, it is a huge ask to have someone be dependent on them for a fetish. I'm not trying to kink shame anyone who is interested in that, I'm genuinely happy that your wife feels comfortable and safe enough with you that she trusts you take care of her. This is an entirely different story than yours. This is someone who is trying to make someone that reliant on them without building up the trust first or really getting their consent. None of that are assumptions that is plainly laid out. I believe there is enough information to start making assumptions such as him having a kink for power dynamics, and if things were to get abusive he could potentially put her in a position where she can't get away due to mobility issues. But that can't be proven one way or the other without further information

Gaining safely

Squirrelscanbeblue:
Increased dairy consumption has been linked to a lower risk of T2DM. The protective role of dairy foods in the development of T2DM is thought to be largely attributable to dairy nutrients, one of them being dairy protein. There is considerable evidence that milk proteins increase the postprandial insulin response and lower the postprandial blood glucose response in both healthy subjects and patients with T2DM

Eh I'm betting on it raising insulin because it cam turn a baby calf into a 400lb animal

Bros just copying and pasting from WebMD at this point without understanding what he's citing. Like yes eating more food especially before bed helps you gain weight, but playing with the chemicals in your body for the sake of a fetish doesn't end well. That's how you get a health scare and end up having to lose weight long before you reach your final goal
