I think you have quite the lucky roommate witnessing you gaining and outgrowing all your clothes :-)

Hi all! I've recently gained some weight (34 pounds over the course of 3 years). It's been a slow process and I'm enjoying it. I currently have a BMI of 29.7, so almost obese (at least according to those medical classificationa). But when I see myself in the mirror I can hardly see myself as an obese woman.
I wonder: from what BMI onwards did your bellies start to hang? I can imagine it changes from person to person (I tend to gain in my ass and thighs, not so much on my belly). But i just want to have an idea.
Thanks!
I’d say at about 35 BMI or so will you start to see a belly hang. My wife’s BMI is about 58, so hers is surely hanging :-)

Genetics indeed plays a role in how a belly grows. Mine is just a visceral fat-laden beach ball. My wife’s belly has been enormous for years now :-) Her double belly sags and touches every surface she sits on :-)

At 210 currently and hope to see at least 225 by the new year :-)

Not sure where this idea comes from but you don't get to pick where the fat goes as you gain weight.
Most of my weight when I first decided to gain went to my thighs,butt and hips very little to the belly.
Actually it took me several years to see much in the belly so genetics has everything to do with it.
If you want to gain just make your portions larger at meal time.
My belly didn't appear until a few years later.
It was a high beach ball/beer belly and I wasn't real happy about that.
I lost a bunch of weight to have ankle surgery and when I regained the weight it all went to my belly but it wasn't a beer belly.
It was super squishy and flabby.
Thats the belly I wanted so badly.
Love your descriptive timeline on that belly of yours :-)

Morbidly A Beast:This sounds dumb and it’s pretty obvious but only eat what you enjoy just eat more of it no sense in changing your diet if you don’t like it cause that diet won’t stick. Personally I have gained a lot of weight without changing my diet with ‘calorie dense foods’ or whatever just eat what you like!
Thefatpiggy:Huge (no pun intended) thanks for the advice, this goes to all of you, thank you all so much, I hope my gains improve. I'll see you all at 300 soon enough
Best wishes and I’m sure you’ll get there :-)

Speaking of not liking your body I was the same way.
My boobs were the only way to tell if I was a girl or not because I was so skinny.
I hated not having any curves as I went thru school.
Same feeling just a different part of the body.
Loving yourself is a much better place to be.
Definitely agree with your conclusion there :-)

So looking through views on my photos it’s as exactly as the above said, standing full body shots are far and above anything else.
Next would be any before and now shots as size comparisons.
But I think what people want most is just authenticity. Be yourself. Take pictures that makes you feel sexy! (You are SO sexy!) Have FUN with it!
And you are SO right! :-)
