I ate a lot of ice cream to gain and my belly is round and soft, so maybe 50:50. I don't drink that much.

i might be able to go if someone organized one

For sure! I have been on here a long time, but without this site I never would have felt comfortable gaining accidentally, let alone purposefully. Its great knowing there are other like-minded people and those that appreciate fatties hehe.

I used to stretch shirts with my hands all the time, and I still do if I am going to be around certain people. But around strangers, I love letting my belly be on display... definitely got a few stares for it today!

Oh man, I used to be so active running 5-10 miles a day, lifting weights and generally exercising 2 hours a day. I've slowed down so much with the 60-80 lbs I've packed on. I can barely jog much, everything jiggles, and I noticed just now that I got out of breath going up a flight of stairs. It's a little embarrassing but it feels so good

Got up to 32.7 a few months ago, dropped to 30.2, but now Im almost back up at my high... 32.5! Solidly obese

That doesn't sound weird to me. I would really enjoy having a friend to get fat with!

When I was at my heaviest (250 lbs) I really enjoyed showing it off. I had pretty much outgrown everything so my big belly was on display all the time, but I often wore especially tight clothes to go to the grocery store or out to eat. I got lots of stares but no comments. It was liberating and exhilarating!

I thought about gaining for years and I also used to have an eating disorder. Years ago I decided to let go and stabilized at a higher weight. But only recently I decided to go ahead and gain 30 lbs on purpose. I loved gaining for so many reasons, but have since lost 20 of those pounds (mostly to avoid embarrassment around family!). I would say try it out by gaining 10 or 20 lbs and see how you like it. You can always lose the weight later.

I enjoy numbers but even more I just like feeling fat and outgrowing clothes.
