Well at the end of the day it is all about calories in and calories out right? The plateau will go away eventually, so for now just live.

Admittedly, feels weird reading as someone who has to work hard to NOT gain weight my metabolism must be screwed up.

Munchies:
It's a bit more complex than that. It's not just calories in and calories out. It's also how the body processes those calories. Also, not all calories are created equal. Some foods digest and absorb easier than others. Some people can process calories in general easier. The list goes on and on.

Here's a video that gives a better understanding of the situation.



DMVGrower:
Wow that video sure does open some questions.

Since I didn't add any updates lately:

He has the same weight (192-193lbs) but I don't know how because he eats less than he used to. Maybe because of lack of sleep his meatabolism slowed down and he keeps this weight (or he eats more than I know). Anyway, he seems to be happy with his new weight. He doesn't even think that he is fat anymore. He used to joke that he is fat (when he was 185 after he used to be 181) and I used to say that it's not true. Now, 8lbs later, I tell him sometimes (as a joke) that he is fat and his answer is always that he isn't. I don't say anything after that, but in my mind I always think that I'll make sure he will be

My boyfriend has been telling me that I need to lose some weight and went as so far as to sign me up for weight watchers. I could stand to lose some weight so I was ok with it. The problem is that he is completely sabotaging my effort by offering me sweets and snacks he knows I can’t resist. The result is that I am gaining, when I am expected to lose which is becoming so embarrassing. I want to quit but I have already paid for next few months.

WHOAH what??? 20lbs in less than 2 weeks? That’s prodigious. So impressive! How’s he feeling?

(How many days have passed? On my end, it doesn’t give a specific time for your previous post, just says it was 1 week ago, and I dont know how this forum handles rounding)

Anjou:
Honestly he says his joints are hurting a bit and I had to have been back off, even though he says he doesn’t care, and just wants to get fatter. So eager to please.
It has been about 10 days

Munchies:
Some of that is probably fluid retention. I bet he's been eating a lot of salt. That will bloat you like nothing else and wreak havoc on the joints. Don't be alarmed if he suddenly loses a bunch of weight.

Anjou:
I keep waiting for his weight to drop, but never seems to. I think all this cream is doing something to his estrogen levels because his chest is up 3 inches as of this morning.
And still at 275

DMVGrower:
Neat thread. I am connecting with it big time.

I want to slim down, because I am certain it is the way to find a partner and future wife. So I obviously have a reason to keep working out and try to get leaner.

Additionally, family, one might feel guilty when they think about what ones family might think. I certainly do, I love my family and don't want them to worry or comment on how big I am getting.

I even put in my bio "gainer in denial" because there are periods of my life where getting fatter is all I can think about. Where instead of "I can't eat that, it isn't healthy" to "I gotta get bigger, fatter" as I eat the slice of cake I bought.

Any idea for an easy weight gain shake without milk?

Potbellyporker:
I'm always looking for new gain shake recipes. But all the ones that I come across involve peanut butter in one way or another and that doesn't work for me as I'm allergic. So any and all recipes are werlcome.
