If you truly wish to slow down the gain-I am 100% behind you. You have been so astounding these last three months with a 60 lb gain.If you level off now and slow down-it will still be an unforgettable time.

And if you keep going at this rate for another month or two before you get it slowed down-well you won't get any complaints around here I think!lol

I'd love to know how You feel on this subject .
But to answer your question from my own standpoint.I am currently about 10-15 lbs above my norm from say 2006. Two years ago I was 215 and tonight at the gym -198. I have muscualr arms and shoulders-and still a pretty good gut. I would only feel good about it with a woman who has FA tendencies and would find my soft belly to be sensual.
Good topic by the way.

Sometimes I think people leave because of ambivalence-torn between their desires and reality of their "real-world" life. The lady mentioned from Iceland was quoted on another site as finding these places"too addictive". It's not always creepers-or bad photo comments. I had a heart-to-heart a few weeks ago with someone who loved it here and was having a blast. But the persons job performance was suffering as well as "real world" social life.i.e. popping in on FF to check for comments on pics or forum responses and pm's at work. And not going out with friends enough to be home stuffing and staying on FF. I 've seen many stop posting,then visit less.Then quitely slip away without fanfare. There's lots of reasons people leave suddenly.Or after a few months. And even after a few years. This is generally a wonderful place to be-that's for sure.

I think you hit the nail on the head with the office job part. Two of the most prodigious gainers on here now (or ever really) They both"got their start " with office jobs. Ask Pinky Dear and softerandsofter! I have a new appreciation of the results from sitting at a desk. And my old friend Plenty gained in her 30's almost immediately when she left the sales floor for a desk job. Her co-workers told her it would happen and she didn't believe them. She went from 130 to 175 in just over a year. So ladies. Take those office jobs!

Oops! Fixed my typo. Replace 350 with 250 please. Although you would rock that weight as well. Yeah-I was referring to any "aftershocks" from your big week .That was such a wonderful project.Thanks again.

In my mind you would still be a cuvy leggy hourglass shape at 250. And it would be a shame to not see you at that weight. The encourager-Fa part of me would still want to see you at 300-can.t lie But you'd still be curvy and shapely. You have a Dreamy body and legs.

Just for clarification 221? or do mean 227? Either way you're terrific!

I have Ideas about how much I'd love to see you weigh! I'm sure alot of people do!You have such a "Pin-Up " shape that I would love to see how much it would take to make that shape Round! Have a few little pounds found there way to you as an after-effect of your week long project?

Most frequent "real-life" favorite lately.Female bartenders at a chain restaurant. The "uniform" is jeans and t-shirt. Both attractive andpleasant.Both 15-25+lbs heavier than when they purchased their jeans. So they wear them low and it causes the nicest muffin top!The one with the smaller gain would look almost slender if she just went up a size or two. But I'm not gonna tell her! lol

Wow. I just read my "expert" opinion again . Pinky. You are the most amazing indulgent gainer in recent memory. You have gained 35+lbs in 8 weeks! Less than two months! By the 2 month mark on Wednesday I would not be one bit surprised if you are at 270. So my 5-8 lbs theory has been put to shame! lol And it'so awesome! 5-8 How about 18-20 lbs amonth. And you look so wonderful too!

My favorite McDonalds breakfast is a susage biscuit,sausage burrito,hash brown and a medium caramel Frappe' $6.19 and very tasty!
