AMEN!

Re-Gaining lost weight is certainly almost always faster. But I had a lover who would torment me with re-gains and with very rapid new gains. But -there was one consistent fact with her. She had yo-yo'd at a 25 to 30 pound rate starting at her early teens. So she could gain 3 pounds a day for over a week -even new pounds. Her metabolism was shot. So in at least one person I've known on an intiment level-the answer is 3 to 4 days.
I just remembered something that I haven't thought about in 25 years. I played in a band job on trombone and there were two brothers playing tenor sax. They were big guys-6 foot and high 200's if not over the 300 mark. During a break one of them said that they had gained 12 and 14 pounds over the 4 day Thanksgiving weekend. I don't know if it was re-gain or a new record for each. I didn't ask because they were guys. They were good tenor players though-that much I know.

I think years ago(before internet) I would have answered this question differently than now. Then I would have preferred to see someone skinny gain to a complete transformation into a full-fledged BBW. But my observations both in real life and from the internet have led to a change of heart. Being realistic I now think that average to slightly plump is the preffered starting point. The reason is that I have seen many average to plump women becaome BBW's.But a person who starts thin seems to be able to add quite a lot of weight initially-and then reach a plateau. My very favorite S31 model was Michaela. She started at a thin 5'7" and 127. When she left she was 260 and gorgeous. But as a young adult she was a curvy 155. So even though she appeared in photos to break my trend or more accurately-my theory. In reality she was slightly plump to start with.I'm sure there are exceptions -but they seem rare. So here's to the average to slightly plump women who grow into plush BBW's!
