I only recently moved out at the beginning of this month so I haven't seen any results yet but Ive definitely been trying to eat more. I grew up in a family that was obsessed with fitness so before with my gain I was more or less just trying to squeeze in calories where ever I could. But now that I'm doing my own food shopping and cooking, I can decide what I snack on and how excessive my meal portions are without the judgement or comments I'd receive at home. I'm hoping to make some progress soon

I'm going to try to drink 200 ml of heavy cream every day this week (lactose free because I can't tolerate that well). Do you have any tips? And what can I expect after 1 week?
I tried getting in to heavy cream but it tastes nasty to me and I can't drink it by itself. From my experience I would just recommend increasing the amount of food you ordinarily would eat.
People have had a lot of success from adding heavy cream to their diet but really this is a calorie counting game. And they would've gained the same amount of weight eating an equivalent number of calories from a different food source

I was training for a half marathon and right before Covid happened i shattered my ankle.
went from a daily gym rat to immobility caused by traction.
at first i exercised laying or sitting because it really was an addiction.
eventually gave up.
now here i am. waddling blob
theres a LOT more that happened but. thats the short version of fit to "chubby" and beyond
Have you tried exercising since then or have you gone completely in to blob mode?

Ive been stuck at 330 pounds for 6 months and its honestly starting to drive me crazy since ive been also eating out a lot more.
Wondering if anyone has had this problem for even longer periods of time.
I'm afraid that's just how it goes sometimes, especially if you're going for a muscle chub look. All you can really do is keep eating your calories, and try to squeeze in extra ones where you can. I've been stuck at 220 for the last 8 months, and before that I was stuck at 195 for 6 months. Some people just get stuck in plateaus for a long time but eventually your metabolism will give in and you'll pack on the pounds faster

Let's not forget the site specifically recommends members reach out to others in fairly close geographic proximity or newly registered.
The algorithm doesn't seem to take into account either member's preferences.
C00kie:
When you go to the profile section, you'll see several prefilter categories. By clicking "See More," on these it allows you to see all profiles matching those prefilters such as: Newest, Online, Local, Feeders, and Feedees.
If you click the "See All" button at the bottom of the profiles page without selecting any of the prefilters mentioned above, it will display all profiles in order of last online, without applying any other search filters.
Of course, you also have the option to customize your own profile search filters to refine your results even further. I’m not entirely sure what you’re describing with your experience, though, as the algorithm doesn't prioritize new profiles or local ones by default.
Newenglander:
What I described earlier is in the header atop the main landing page. There are home, mail, and bell icons.
Under the bell icon, it shows who viewed my profile. It also shows suggestions to contact others who are in close geographic proximity, regardless of whether or not they viewed my profile.
These suggestions feature members whose orientation and interests often differ from my own.
My guy that's not an algorithm, that's just whoever stumbled onto your profile. The site just adds a bit of text if they're new or nearby just to stir up some engagement and get people to chat with each other. Like I just had a good conversation with someone the other day about dungeons and dragons and baldurs gate 3 and this fetish was never once brought up in our chat.
I'm not saying you have to engage with this community, if you just stick to engaging with the fetish side only then that's your right to do so. But you're still going to see people who you arent necessarily attracted to move around this space

I know people bring up the idea of taking different supplements to gain weight often but they all get shot down for increasing your likelihood of getting diabetes. But is there actually a supplement that could help speed up your weight gain without all these side effects?

I feel the same, I am naturally fit and love being fit so I don't like to go against my body so I completely understand this. I too am trying to understand these thoughts more and know how to balance it in life.
Being fit and being fat aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. So I've you're looking to gain weight you can still be fit, it just might take longer to see the results you want as your lifestyle naturally causes you to burn more calories. Obviously yes if you're into extreme weight gain you'll run into some obstacles, but it's not entirely unmanageable.
If you want you could try dipping your toes in and gain a small amount of weight to see if you like it and if you don't, it's not impossible to burn it off.

I've never been asked not to, but before my great grandparents passed two years ago I knew better than to sit at most of their dining room furniture. Most of the furniture in their house was from when they first got married in the 40's/50's and I swear people must've been built smaller back then because even two years ago my lean 170 lbs ass could hardly fit in them

For me I prefer women who are either very muscular or very overweight. Which is odd because those are very much on opposite ends of the spectrum and I have no idea why that's my preference.
For guys I'm attracted to I only really have one preference and that's guys that are muscular and have a bit of a dad bod too

Gone to a friend's house one time for Thanksgiving and the family brought out old chairs apparently it was a tradition of theirs to bring out theses old handcrafted chairs but when I went to sit at the table they gave me a regular chair bit wanting me to break one of thier special ones I felt embarrassed but can totally understand
Old furniture is just weird like that. A lot of my great grandparents furniture is absolutely tiny and even I feel like I'm going to break it and I'm only barely considered obese
