I just found a ruler and tried this. 6 inches!

Button popping, seam splitting, and other wardrobe malfunctions caused by swelling bellies and breasts.

I'm hoping to gain at least 20 pounds this winter and keep it.

How much fenugreek were you using?

I do so much want to explode out of my clothes.

I clicked the bell icon to check notifications and I got blank page.

I don't think secret phrases will do any good. Back when I used dating sites (found my fiance at okcupid) I said something like "I'm fat and not interested in dieting". So, I got me a fat wife and she got a fat and growing husband.

The problem I keep having with scales is that readings may be clustered around the true weight, but can vary by 10 pounds either way. This is decent accuracy but dreadful precision. Frequently I find dreadful accuracy too.

To determine a scale's accuracy, you repeatedly place a calibration weight on the scale and write down the reading. Add them up and divide by number of readings. Now check the difference between the result and the true weight of the calibration weight. That's your measure of accuracy.

Precision is also important. Look at your reading and see how far each of them are from the average reading. That's your measure of precision. You can have all your readings in a tight group, but far off the real number and still be "precise".

Google for precision vs accuracy for more on this, especially bullseyes.

I used to be until I met my girlfriend's college friend who is at least 150 pounds heavier than I am. I think I'm about as big as her husband.

Somewhere I can gorge all day long on a wide variety of foods and come back home in a week 30 pounds heavier.
