That's definitely one of the pluses for me. I thrill to the fact that my body is becoming more suited for a bikini than swim trunks. I love the fantasy of wearing a skimpy bikini at the beach with my soft belly roll obscuring most of it and my boobs filling out the top.

I also delight in the idea of being able to wear a bra and having an official cup size.

My goal is much more related to softness than size, hence I try to limit my activity so that I lose muscle and replace it with soft fat.

I like to wear too-small clothes when I masturbate while I delight in how tiny they are. I also love that my boobs are growing and imagine they'd be the envy of many a teenage girl. I like wearing short shorts with my soft, beautiful doughboy thighs bursting out of them.

Lately, my arms have been porking up and I like feeling how soft they are and how they stretch the sleeves on my tiny t-shirts.

I find a tape measure a lot sexier and more satisfying. A scale doesn't always measure how fat you're getting, but when you see that belly inching out, you know the weight is turning into soft fat rather than muscle.

Plus, you get all sorts of sexy figures. I remember when I could say I was more than four feet around when standing, or when each of my thighs was bigger than a lot of girls' waists.

Keep eating. "The girls" (what I call my boobs) didn't start to appear until about 30 lbs ago

I'm a sissy baby, and I love that my body is becoming both more feminine and more babylike as I grow.

I buy adult baby diapers on eBay...I'll put them on, suck in as hard as i can, and then secure them as tight as possible with packing tape. then i exhale and my belly overflows them. Then I put on a tiny t-shirt, usually with something like tinkerbell on it, and i've achieved the look I want more than anything: a giant baby growing out of my clothes.

I sometimes fantasize about hitting the beach in a speedo a size too small with a tiny t-shirt that rides up over my navel and exposes my belly. I often imagine bringing a huge sub sandwich and stuffing myself with it and feeling my clothes getting tighter as i eat.

Let me know what works.

Absolutely! It took me awhile for mine to start growing, but as I get bigger, they seem to be growing more rapidly. at this rate, I'll need a bikini this summer rather than swim trunks!

I recommend any gainer to buy a cloth tape measure. You can find them at any drug store or even in the grocery store in the obscure section where they sell shoelaces and such.

Forget the scale. Measure yourself, and be consistent about it. Measure your belly, chest, neck, upper arm, hip, and thigh. I guarantee it will give you a more accurate estimation of your body's transformation.

Is anyone in the Chicago area interested in a meetup? I think it should be somewhere in the city because some of us (like me) don't have cars and getting out to the 'burbs can be tough.

My favorite restaurant in Chicago is The Berghoff on Adams Street in the Loop, but I'm open to alternatives. Does anyone have any suggestions re. dates in the next month or two?
