I'm not entirely sure if that's possible. The quickest results mean you need a LOT more calories, which of course means you'd have to eat a lot. You'd have to stuff day after day, and that's not feasible for most folks.

That said, there are small changes you could make to add calories. Any one of these alone won't make a huge difference but together, they can. Here's a few examples:

Cream and sugar in your coffee. Extra mayo on your sandwiches. Extra dressing and cheese on your salad (you always do need your vegetables, even if they come on a burger; delivery method isn't that important). Rediscover candy and cookies, snacking on them when you can. Something you don't have to refrigerate so you can keep it in the car. Try some extra butter on things that use it. I think you get the idea.

Enough small changes day after day will add up, and will be important to ensure you don't lose as you increase in size. In essence this is the opposite of the advice for weight loss of making small substitutions and changes to reduce calories.

You don't have to adopt all the examples I said, and there's countless more of these simple examples. You may find yourself adopting and preferring some of these. But if you don't like one, don't do it. That's when you have to use discipline, determination, and force yourself to do it. That will cause more burn out.

At least you're a pretty good size already, so you're already past the hardest and most difficult part.

I think you have to want it. But you can try gaining a little and see how you feel.

It's also not a matter of all or nothing. Nothing says you can't keep going to the gym. You could just try to bulk up. Maybe lift even heavier weights while eating even more meat, and having more dessert.

You can still have fun overeating, if you do find it fun.

I've gained some weight lately, eating much more food. This experience has only managed to confirm, if not intensify a desire for a large woman who likes eating.

You can drink a quart in a day, day after day? Holy cow. Most folks would get sick having that much.

It's a little tacky and it's almost like begging. I'm not inclined to get something for anyone I have never met in person. Maybe if you've been a friend of mine for a long time, but I don't need a wish list for that. In that case I would likely already know what you want, or need.

That said, if you post only a link in your profile and nowhere else, *and* you don't ever ask folks to buy you stuff off of it, it's not too bad. It's there, someone might buy you something.. most likely not. Just don't be obnoxious.

I'm also not particularly thrilled about Amazon in particular, and I try to avoid using it but I digress and I don't wish to derail this thread off of the topic at hand; whether you should post a link to an Amazon wish list in your profile description. This opinion I have expressed would actually apply to any online wish list feature, Amazon or otherwise.

Following up, but so far I think it may have been a little bit of water weight. The scale hasn't gone up in the past couple/few days, even went slightly down although with what I ate, that's not supposed to happen.

So perhaps I'm dropping the water weight slightly faster than any gain that may have occurred. I guess I'll have to see what happens.

I'm very glad to hear about this!

Supposedly cream, and fat in general is supposed to have a low "thermic effect" meaning very few calories are needed to digest it and of course, get stored. At 3% it's the most efficient, though it's never that simple.

Perhaps you gained slightly faster than your body is getting used to it? Your legs in particular, as well as your arms have to build some more muscle to carry the extra weight. Don't worry, you aren't going to develop obvious tone and a six pack, the fat is going to keep that covered up. Always have to be a little careful, though. I expect it may return back to normal, assuming you keep up the same lifestyle and daily habits you have always had. I'm also assuming you get more than enough protein from other sources for the muscle... chicken nuggets, burgers, hot dogs, steak, sandwiches, cheese, and so on.

If it gets much worse, you could try going for some walks. It doesn't even burn that many calories... a single cookie will restore any calories burned from walking a mile and then some.

I'll admit I'm slightly jealous you can suck down an entire pint each day, day after day. Most I've really been able to do each day is 50% half and half + 50% cream, which in a pint is roughly 1,120 calories. Though maybe next time I'll try 3 cups with the same ratio.

This is bizarre. In the past couple days my weight shot up by about 4-5 pounds. I know I didn't eat anywhere near enough calories for that, because I count calories. Furthermore, clothes fit about the same as they did before. I even took various measurements again.

For consistency I try to weigh myself under similar conditions each time. In the mornings right after #2 (sorry if that's TMI, but that's often 0.5-1.5 lbs right there) and after coffee, but before I eat anything.

So where could the weight have come from, and where did it go? I doubt it's because the scale is broken.

The scale is digital so it won't lose calibration, and I've had it for over a decade so I know exactly how to start it up and use it.

I wonder if this will stick, assuming I continue to eat enough calories to not lose (and perhaps of course, then some).

Not saying the OP should completely write off dating web sites entirely.

But sometimes when someone asks a question, they have an end goal in mind, and sometimes it's clear cut what that goal is. There's more than one way to skin a cat, as the saying goes.

A problem can have more than one solution, and sometimes a particular solution may be better suited to someone than another solution.

Although, I don't think the OP should pay any money in direct pursuit of this problem. That includes paying for her consumption on the first date, or dating web site memberships.

+1 for the likes of POF. "Network effect" is real.

I live in the 4th largest metro area in the U.S. In spite of this, not many female profiles within 50 miles on FF, and most are unsuitable for one reason or another (doesn't mean there's anything wrong with them, but I mean things like an age difference that's too large). It also doesn't help that on the likes of web sites like this, some folks have even lied about location, or some forget to update the location to the nearest large city. For avenues like this, you should not expect anything to come from it.

And yes, Feabie can also go suck it. Haven't been on there in ages.

Another idea.. maybe just avoid dating web sites? There's a real stigma surrounding that, and the odds are stacked against you. In college, I spent over $300 on Match.com with nothing to show for it. Granted, I lived in a much smaller area at the time but there's no reason to think it's better anywhere else. In that same time, I had 6 women give me phone numbers in bars without my even asking.

I wonder if you've considered a baking or cooking class? Look for something that focuses on savory, delicious, and fattening food. I'm just guessing but I would expect female attendees to be fat and like eating and food in general. You might also learn more ways to prepare fattening food that others can't get enough of, so that's a plus too.

Who knows? Maybe you'll meet one and you'll be each others' taste testers.

This thread is hilarious!

I don't see how anyone could possibly think any of this was serious.

As an aside, I thought one thing that one could do on this web site is to express certain thoughts, particularly about fat and weight gain, that you often have very few other outlets where you can express them. It doesn't mean folks will always, or even usually act on these thoughts.
