There is a young woman I see at an auction that my wife and I attend on a regular basis. I always thought she was quite pretty. Just a couple of weeks ago, I notice that she had gained some serious weight since we had started attending the auctions, most going to an awesome rear end!

My gain has been visceral fat. I have a firm bulging belly. There is some gain/girth on my buttock and thighs but not much. My waist has grown a few inches from 42" to 44". When I'm stuffed I can bloat to 45". But as you can see from most of my picture here I have a firm but bulging belly.

Sounds like she is at least accepting of your gain. I have put on weight this year. I don't make any effort to hide the fact that I am gaining from my wife. I know it must be obvious to her that I am heavier. I wear brief style underwear which hide nothing. So enjoy the support or at least tolerance of your gain.

The dimension could also be affected by where you measure. I'm the largest crossing my belly button and going around my love handles. When I'm full, I'm usually only an inch bigger around, but firm.

Your stomach (the organ) is just below your rib cage, try measuring around there when your really full.

Well that was interesting! Sounds like a great excuse though.

I gained about three and one half pounds starting on Thursday night and going through Sunday AM. I weighed about 212 on Thursday AM and 216 lbs. on Monday morning. After two huge meals on Friday, my waist was 45 inches and I weighed 215.

Wow, you are so lucky! I love it if my wife started to encourage my gaining. I know she knows I have gained, it hard not to notice, given I wear bikini cut briefs. I have made no effort to conceal, my increasing girth either.
You are so lucky, you two enjoy yourselves!

I have to admit, that I do still exercise, even though I am fascinated at the thought of gaining weight. I run every day, though a lot slower than I used to be. I also ice skate once week during the winter months. I may sign to play ice hockey again this fall.
It has become an issue and so contradictory, wanting to gain and yet still exercising!

I think all of you have a good point. I think here in the states, there is also a bit of a conspiracy with clothes sizing. I have a forty-four inch waist, measured around my naval, love handles, obviously my widest. I wear my jeans, pants etc. lower on my waist, their I measure around thirty nine and one half to forty inches, yet, I still fit and can wear relatively comfortably size thirty six waist pants. I recently bought a two pair of "Wrangler" trousers at Wal-Mart. They stated on the labeling that your waist could be two inches larger and they would still fit comfortably, which they do.
I recently finished service in the US military. The uniform sizes are exact. There is no way I can fit into any of my older size thirty six uniform trouser, not even close! Go figure!

I have trouble getting really full. I just can't keep eating. I would recommend, just a lot of snacking on heavier foods, cheeses, lots of sweets. Just nibble, you don't have to stuff yourself to gain weight. I have been steadily, though slowly gaining, mainly be just eating more in between meals.

Enjoy yourself, gaining is so much fun!
