Really?

Man, I should try to go on a cruise at some point. Ideally a 10 day or 2 week one if I could swing that. Also pack some clothes a size up too, just in case.

I'm inclined to think it is easier for awhile, as long as you can maintain the additional eating. Aside from anything related to food, the biggest, most annoying expense everyone will deal with is clothing.

When I started, the first 10 lbs were hard. The next 10 lbs seemed a little easier, and the next 10 were easier still. However, I seem to have hit a plateau which I hope to break out of. I suspect this latest plateau might be more psychological, though. After another 10-15 lbs, I will be officially overweight according to BMI. Most Americans are indeed overweight, but still.. it's something, to realize that I will be too.

I wonder if there will be a similar psychological barrier if and when I'm about to cross the threshold of being obese, according to BMI. Although if you look around, a BMI of 30 still isn't really that big.

I think it's because of my body and digestive tract getting used to more food, and fattier food.


At a certain point you will probably be unable to consume enough calories to keep gaining, though. Or other practical problems will develop. But you would have to be at a very substantial size for that to be a problem.

Most folks will never get that big.

The other responses are good.

BMI is simply a function based on weight vs. height. It says nothing about what the weight consists of.

Not saying you should slave away at the gym, but bodybuilders are often "overweight" or even "obese" based on weight.

Also, a lot of football players, volleyball players, softball players, etc. are heavy. In high school, I was often mesmerized by how thick the volleyball players were, although looking back many were a bit thinner than I would have really preferred.

I think the worse thing is if you aren't at least somewhat active. Not saying you should be able to run a marathon, but.. you should be able to drive a car for 10-12+ hours on one day, be able to walk across a supermarket or shopping mall, and be able to hang out at a park. A 5 block walk shouldn't scare you. I also expect you to be able to carry a 40 lb box up 3 flights of stairs.

It's one of those calorie dense "meal replacement" shakes, the way Slimfast is.

That's what they're often called, but this is a misnomer because one of those, which are usually only 8 fl. oz. don't substitute for an actual meal.

They usually have a bunch of extra vitamins in them, which are helpful. The higher calorie varieties have more calories than half and half, and are basically taste like milkshakes except much more liquid.

They're kind of spendy though, even Wal-Mart's Equate store brand at over $1 a serving (Equate Plus) so I don't normally recommend them.

I already made a somewhat long post about this, so I'll just link to it. But to summarize, I'd like to reach 170 and then 200.

I hope I'll be chunky enough to feel more confident about wearing shorts after my limbs thicken up a bit more.

That's 55 pounds, which is a full third of your current weight.

It's ambitious, though not unheard of. You're also a few inches taller than the average man, which will help.

You hear about insane cases of some who could double their weight in a year, or more but those are unreasonable goals. That's not really possible unless you can literally sit down and overeat all day, every day and have a practically unlimited source of funds for not just food, but clothes too. I'm assuming that you, like most of us are functional members of society that have to go to work. Hopefully it's a job where you can snack, but some jobs aren't like that.

I live in the DFW. I would love to meet someone in person who's into this sort of thing or just curious.

Also, thanks for being upfront about being married. In person I look for the ring but that's not possible online Ha ha.

Feel free to PM me your mobile # to text, e-mail, or Kik ID.

At the very least, I'd like to reach some milestones and some other goals.

The first set of milestones should be fairly easy to reach, even for me (the larger you are, the easier it is to get even larger).

First set of milestones are:

- 170+ lbs (officially overweight)
- 24" (2 ft) thighs
- 12" (1 ft) biceps even without flexing
- 40"+ ass.
- Hopefully eliminate the final vestiges of a thigh gap (the top part of my thighs touch but the space above the knees don't unless I squish my legs together).

- Get myself into the habit of snacking much more often, hopefully without even thinking about it much.
- Make dessert into a near daily occurrence for the evening / late night / last major meal of the day.

Hopefully the more I gain, my appetite will get larger.

Hopefully I'll also be thick enough to feel more comfortable wearing shorts this summer.


Beyond the first set, less of a big deal whether I reach these additional gaining goals in '20, but these additional gaining goals have been on my mind. These aren't in any particular order.

- Permanently increase my average daily caloric intake from about 3,000 calories to 4,000 calories.
- 200+ lbs (average American white male is 200 lbs)
- 40"+ waist (average American male waist measurement)
- 222+ lbs (100 kgs) (100 is a nice, round number)
- Have my thighs be as large, or larger as my waist was, 3-4 years ago. (Long story but yes, I was really skinny once.)
- Be able to eat an entire large Pizza Hut pizza in one sitting.
- Be able to drink and chug an entire quart of heavy cream without feeling ill the next day.

- Not exactly about gaining but hopefully I can also start dating a BBW, too. An actual, serious LTR with someone I could see myself marrying and to be the mother of my future children.


I don't really know how far I would like to go. This gaining thing, I've been taking it each day, week, and pound at a time. But so far, I like the changes and I would like to gain more. So far I love the additional mass and eating has only become more enjoyable.

The only real downside has been having to get more clothes, which aren't the cheapest. I really doubt I'd ever get large enough that I may have to invest in specialty office chairs, scales with a very high capacity, or custom automobiles.

Anyway, typing out all of this, I just realized I'm hungry. My stomach really needs to be filled up.

I consider eggnog revolting, so I can't even get a sip down. But I didn't reply to put you down. If you like it, great! Just don't expect me to drink any if we're ever somehow in the same house. Ha ha!

I'm inclined to think half and half would be more effective. It's much easier to drink than cream, and you can drink more of it. Also, a gallon of half and half would be 5,120 calories.

I'm going to assume most can't drink a gallon of it every day, but a quart should be fairly easy.

Whole milk is 150 calories a cup, whereas half and half is 320 calories. Except it just tastes like creamier, fattier milk which it basically is. 10.5% vs. 3.5%.

In theory, it would be possible to synthesize a fattening concoction with the needed vitamins. I doubt it would be very fun, though.

I don't really know if you can make that out of ingredients and supplies that are easy for purchase for most folks though. Perhaps with certain varieties of weight gain powder mix.

I also don't really know if it could be made in such a way as to reduce health problems. Doesn't it also depend on the kind of sugar and carbs? Likely also depends on whether your family has a history of diabetes.
