That seems a bit far fetched, doesn't it? Given how freakishly uncommon and nearly impossible it is to find anyone into this.

At this point I think the odds of finding anyone into this in person to be almost nil; akin to winning the state lottery jackpot prize.

Also, most feeders tend to be thrilled when anyone gains weight, especially on purpose, even though I expect the vast majority of them to be faithful.

So no, that's quite unlikely.

Wouldn't it be closer to 2.5 lbs?

Whether you can keep that up for 7 days in a row is another matter, though. I'm not judging anyone who can't, but I think most can't.

That estimate also seems posited on 3,500 excess calories being an extra pound. Whereas, a kilogram is 9,000 calories and thus, a pound would be 4,082.

Of course, you (or others) may say it's not that simple, and you would be right. Water retention, for one thing. But the human body also isn't going to be completely efficient. I think getting 80% of that would be very impressive.

Fat in general, though filling, is however very efficient in that regard. But this filling effect might prevent or discourage snacking that otherwise may have happened.

But after a certain point, if you go past your current capacity, some of it is discarded. A little TMI perhaps, but I think this may even change the color of your *ahem*... waste if you go overboard enough. It's why you can't drink oil (not that it would be very tasty!).

On the other hand, it seems that one's capacity likely increases, the heavier you get. I couldn't keep that up for a week, but some have said or claimed 10 days or even two weeks in a row.

Oh yes, that totally happened!

I'm not sure I fully understand the question. The most you can possibly gain in a day is probably around 0.5-1 lb, and you can't quite keep up a pace of 1 lb a day, day after day. So you can't wake up suddenly a whole lot heavier.

But at some point, I suppose you do start to discover that you're developing a more substantial gut. You look in the mirror and then, wow.

It feels different when you feel it in your hands and you haven't even stuffed yourself, or even had much to eat just yet.

I'm not even technically overweight yet, but I'm close.

Sometimes it feels like that's exactly what many here want to have.

A few times when I've tried to talk to some folks on here, they seemed to clam up when I try to ask them things about life, things they find fun (besides eating), and so on.

This is strictly anecdotal, and shouldn't be interpreted as a blanket statement. However, it's frustrating. The fact I like big women, or the fact I'm also trying to gain a little weight myself, is only a small part of me.

Gaining won't last forever, but hopefully the relationship (whether friends or romantic) does.

This isn't exactly over a single holiday season, but one I met again a few years later.

In high school, I remember a teacher I once had, and I guess she was new that year. Initially, I didn't think much of it. I never really spoke to any of my high school teachers outside of business, and when I left, I couldn't get away fast enough. Later, I forgot about most of them. I'm also convinced that anyone who willingly, even prefers teaching at the high school level is mentally ill and insane, but that's a topic and stories for another time.

However, I did see her at a bar a few years later, and it appears she gained a considerable amount of weight. It must have been at least 50 lbs, since if it was 20, I'm not sure if I would have noticed with staring to the point of being almost creepy.

That's where the story ends. I didn't ask if she had a kid, how her overall life is doing, or if she even worked at that school anymore. Just said "hello" and that's about it; I had nothing to say to her. Or for that matter, any current or former high school teacher who taught at that level willingly (as opposed to desperation and those were the only such teaching jobs available). Such a turn off.


There were no other such stories from my college days, and they were teachers I may have talked to again for one reason or another. The thinner ones remained as such, and that fat ones stayed the same amount of fat.

In a similar vein, when in college I once did meet a college student who gained from 125ish to 175ish in about a year, and she seemed completely unashamed of this and not the least bit apologetic. She also had what seemed like a lot of frozen pizza in the fridge, though that alone isn't going to explain the gain. I only noticed the pizza in the fridge because of a house party that was at her place.

Unfortunately, she was also an unpleasant individual and didn't like me, which meant there was no potential for me to try starting a relationship. Instead, I had nothing to do with her. That was the only individual I met in person who both gained a considerable amount of weight, even mentioned the weight, and wasn't apologetic.

Kind of. It's been a slow process, but so far it seems that the older I get, the bigger and heavier I would like her to be.

It's not a hard and fast rule, but I know I will be quite disappointed if she doesn't weigh at least 200 lbs and is solidly plus size. When I was a teenager, I would have been content if she had probably 25 extra pounds for just that slight little bit of extra thickness.

However, I think it's due, at least in large part to the amount of self denial I had to overcome from that time, and even into my early 20s. That I really do prefer big women, and I don't mean a size 10 or 12. So I'm not sure if anything really changed at all.

There was also considerably less size acceptance in general around that time, so it seemed harder. Stores didn't have any plus size mannequins, and fewer clothing brands had sizes above 12.

Nowadays, there's so many fat people that it doesn't stick out anymore. There is no real shame. It's the bone skinny who stick out now.

You say he's not your type, but are you sure?

You seem to be paying a fair bit of attention to his body. Not saying you should be a homewrecker though; that's bad.

Is his girlfriend/wife an FFA as well, or perhaps a BBW?

It's a pretty well known fact that being in an LTR with a fat woman is likely to be a fattening experience, unless he's already fat. So if she's fat, there's a good chance he'll continue to expand and get even fatter.

1, 2, 3, and 6.

1. Fattening food is often the most delicious, so of course I want it.

2. I love eating more. When I eat more food, so I can gain more enjoyment from the taste. When I start to get full I actually get a little disappointed, because I'd like to eat more. Creamy shakes are also quite delicious.

3. For a long time I was far too thin, and I had a really weak appetite. For a long time I lacked the courage to change this, but after gaining some weight I like it. I want to gain some more.

I'm also trying to increase my appetite so I can eat more in one sitting.

Curiously enough, I feel more manly, bolder, and more confident with the weight I've gained. Most men are overweight, and the average white man in the U.S. now weighs 200 lbs. So it's better if you can weigh closer to there, or more. There's no discernible advantage to being a skinny man.

If you look too athletic like a Chippendale (I never did, I just mean in general), I figure this means you live in the gym, which means you probably don't have a job.

4. I know that what was meant by this was hating a restricted diet that consists of boring, tasteless food that doesn't satisfy, in an attempt to lose weight. I have never attempted such a diet, but I hate the thought of it.

However, diet just means what you eat. I for one love having a diet that consists of fattening, savoy, tasty foods and more of them.

5. This doesn't yet apply, I'm single.

6. Hell yes it has been erotic. I actually get slightly turned on when I overeat. I try to count calories and it's hot when I know I have went past the requirements, which means each extra bite, every morsel, every gulp will, in whatever small way, cause me to expand and grow heavier. To feel bolder and more confident.

7. It really does look better. Skinny women look more frail, whether they are or not. I really do prefer some meat. Gaining enough weight will also make it easier for me to get a larger woman.

Oh no... 36% of the weight is dairy fat. The rest is water, I think. But you are right in the sense that 100% of cream's calories is because of the fat.

Link to Wikipedia that has a table of various liquid dairy products and the milkfat content for each to be marketed as such:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cream

Though of the five items listed on that table, the only products I've seen for sale are half and half and heavy whipping cream.

If you scroll up a little bit on that link, you'll see a similar table for the UK.

As mandated by the FDA, the Roese-Gottlieb method appears to be used to determine milkfat content in the U.S., where it measures by weight. I'm not sure what method the UK uses. The correct section of the Food Labelling Regulations of 1998 in the UK is not immediately apparent, and I don't currently have time to read the entire thing.

The following link describes the Roese-Gottlieb method:
