I noticed my gain; when my clothes are getting smaller (time for a size upgrade). I noticed my gain when my belly is touching the steering wheel.

AlmostOverweight:
Has anyone out there gaining and then losing it all afterwards? How did that work out for you?
Zora:
I don't lose it all. As I gain weight, my body's set point increases. If I'm between gaining cycles, I might lose ten pounds, but that's it. My body will stay at the set point until I start gaining again and am able to push past the plateau.
I haven't lost weight. I, too stayed at a set point until I go to another plateau in weight. This year, I'm planning on reaching a plateau weight.

When I used to take public transportation; I would ride the trains (especially, the elevated trains). I would get winded climbing up the stairs to get to the platform of the train. I would take the elevator or escalator to get to the platform. When I would walk past windows or mirrors, I would see my reflection on how fat that I gotten; watching my belly bounce when I walk. When I would sit down, my belly would rest on my lap; while I take up a half of a seat.

Last year, I was in a size 22 jeans. I'm currently outgrowing a size 24 jeans. Now, I'm in the market of buying size 26 jeans. I have to get a bigger wardrobe just about every 12-18 months.

Ditzy:
have a bowl of ice cream right before bed and let the calories work while you sleep.
Thats what I did when I would hit a plateau.
My regime is to drink a shake or a high calorie frappe' on a daily basis. At night before bedtime, I would eat ice cream and cookies. I would do that to pack on the pounds.

I would buy clothes a few sizes larger. When I wore a 22/24 top; I would buy a 26/28 top; just to grow into that size. Then, when I use to wear a size 26/28 top, I moved up to a size 30/32 top to fill out.

Ditzy:
No regrets.
Beats being skinny any day.
I couldn't picture myself being skinny. I get the thrill of eating whatever I want; outgrowing my clothes, patting my big belly. Just being content with my heavier life.

My prep list consists of:
-Larger clothes; because I'm growing out of the ones that I'm currently wearing.
-Slip on shoes; because bending over to tie my shoes is getting hard.
-Having a cabinet as a nightstand to keep my snacks in.
