Your age shouldn’t be an issue at all. I had to weight to gain deliberately until I retired from the military.
Being older you will gain a lot easier as your metabolism will continue to slow.
Enjoy yourself!

Kacchan:
Wow - FanedFox sighting! 😎

I can vouch as someone who didn't start gaining until my late 40s - it's slow and then it's fast. At first it will feel like you're not making any progress, and then it starts to pile on pretty quickly.

Listen to Munchies - be mindful of blood sugar and blood pressure, and be aware of increased potential for sleep apnea.

Trust me, I want to gain and be big. But I want to do it slowly and enjoy the journey. So please any advice on my following plan:

Continue my normal meals just get an extra serving and drink a soda to every meal.

Every night before bed, ice cream chug.

Snack time that will be considered healthy in public: peanut butter (I usually will eat a few spoon fulls at work)

Make every fast food meal a large and go from having zero meals a week to at least 2 a week. (Will increase once I am bigger).

And lastly: stuffing on the weekends. I am loving stuffing myself to the point I cannot move. But it has to be on the weekend since it will be impossible to do it on the weekdays due to work.

Let me know what you guys think or if I should add anything else. Would love to gain at least 5 pounds a month. (Please don’t push for me to gain over 20 pounds a month).

Twig Bug:
Idk if I am in the right section, but I am trying to find some fake bellies that are inflatable and realistic looking...would anyone happen to know were I can find one?

GrowingLoveHandles:
“Middle-age spread” is a thing and basically expected and accepted in our society.

There’s no such thing as “teenage spread”.

You’ve gotten to the age when your metabolism just naturally slows down.

Just enjoy life and good food, and let nature do her handiwork.

I thought it might be interesting to start a thread about favorite WG sightings. Whether your checking out the opposite sex or same sex, man or women, what catches your eye as evidence of weight gain that you might find as exciting.

I’ll go first. My turn-on is evidence of those first 10 to 30 or 40 pounds. Here are some examples.

1. Relationship weight, especially on display at the beach or local water park. I love to spot a youngish couple, like maybe in their late 20s, who are still wearing the same bathing suits as when they were single and thinner. Only now, he has a soft beer gut bulging over his swim trunks and she is sporting a burgeoning muffin top spilling over her bikini bottoms. As an added bonus, maybe she has an ill-fitting top because her boobs have grown a cup size or two and it is pinching into some back fat.

2. Sweater dresses or other types of clingy dresses that show off an expanding pot belly. A necessary ingredient is the visible indentation of a deep wide belly button, and maybe a panty line. This just drives me wild. It is a signal that there is no body shaper, just a nice soft belly just under a thin layer of clingy cloth.

I remember seeing a lady sporting a full plump belly in a clingy dress waiting to be seated at a nice restaurant. I imagined it would be even rounder after she stuffed herself with a big three course dinner. When she got home, maybe she would pat and rub it and complain that she ate too much. She seemed un self-conscious and even proud to have it on display. Just made me wonder, was she showing it off, knowing it would drive some men crazy.

3. Professional women with too-tight clothes. I like to see a professional woman in slacks and button up blouse with the buttons straining and pants so tight that the zipper is straining and it looks like a seam could blow out if she sat down. I recently leased a new car, and amid the potbellied male salesman was a very hot female. She was about 30 and very attractive. She was wearing gray wool slacks like a man’s suit pants. The kind that don’t stretch. She had a nice bubble butt and a round little pot belly. The pants were so tight, I couldn’t imagine how she could sit down. I couldn’t keep my eyes off her. I figured that there is no way she bought clothes so tight. She had to have grown into them and is in denial about going up a size or two.

Those are my big three. If anyone is interested, next I’ll list my top sightings at the gym. I would love to hear favorite sightings from others.
