I am looking to add some exercises as I gain more weight.
Is there a Youtube channel or something similar that focuses on people who want to exercise while gaining?
I know walking and strength training are good. But I do better when I can watch somebody show me what to do.

I have known my wife for over 20 years and have never weighed more than her. Sometimes we're close in weight, sometimes we're farther apart.
She is going for WLS at the end of March and I am in a gaining mode right now. So it might not be long before I weigh more than her for the first time ever.

I always wanted to gain weight but had no luck until I was 22. It wasn't much, but it was a start.
It was only after I met my now wife that I really started packing on the pounds.
Now in the 250s...aiming for 275 and possibly higher.

Yesterday two thing happened.
1) I started bumpimg into things I thought get by.
2) I was on the subway and nobody sat beside me. I was taking up too much space...spilling iver to the next seat.
This is a recent thing. I like it.

I have a breakfast spot I often go to. I love sitting in the way too tight booths. I love even more struggling to get out of them after a big meal.
I went today and it was only slightly tight. I am currently re-gaining and looking forward to the struggle again...or not being able to sit in them at all.

I re-started my gain a couple weeks ago. I've noticed that in that time I've become thicker. My body seems to be filling out already. Its only been 5 lbs. I don't have any measurements to know for sure, but both my gut and my chest feel thicker.
I've been trying to gain moderately this time - 2lbs a month. I'm eating 2600-2700 cals a day (except once I had 3700). So I haven't been going crazy.
But the fat seems to be pouring on. I'm not sure why. I do like it, though!
Does anybody have any idea why or how this is happening?

Random question, does anyone enjoy aging ?
Like maybe you enjoy the wrinkles, age spots, grey hair, or another part of aging ?
I don't know if I enjoy aging per se, but I will say that I felt older turning 30 than I did turning 40.
When I turned 30, I had gotten married the year before, bought a car, a house and my first kid was on the way. I did a lot of growing up that year.
By the time I reached 40, I had 3 kids and things were moving along pretty smoothly.
They say age is just a number. I tend to agree.

Between July last year and July this year, I gained 72lbs. When I started this gain, I wanted to get fat again, but I wanted to do it slowly. Well that went out the window. The rapid gain was amazing. I love getting fat fast.
However, I started feeling not so good so I stopped. I've lost about 25lbs since then and feel much better...but I still have the itch.
I think I'm in a much better place to try gaining again. This time I would like to take a smarter approach. I love being fat and want to be fatter.
My plan is to eat more, but not recklessly and no fast food. Wendy's and McD's (among others) are my kryptonite.
I hope I can do this. Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated. I've looked at other threads and have some ideas.

Chuck in the ingredients and go about your day. Come dinner time you have a big meal waiting for you.
The appeal of fast food is in it's low effort. If you make a bunch of low effort foods, you can eat that instead of fast food.
I like this idea. I just need to eat more. Especially healthier foods.
Another appealing thing about fast food is the taste. They know what they're doing.
Just before giving in to gaining last year, after a few years of eating well and exercising, I decided to take a mini break and indulge a bit. Well that cascaded into deciding to make it more than a mini break and get fat again, but slowly. Then all hell broke loose. It was the fast food that did me in. So good, so fattening, so easy.
I gained over 30lbs in the first 3 months. While it was fantastic, I can't do that again.
I am 33lbs from my goal. I want to reach it. I am in no rush to get there and I know that if I go hard I will wind up right back to not feeling good.
What's the point of that?
My plan is to gain a couple pounds a month. If all goes well, I will reach my goal by late 2025 or early 2026.
