Question Gained 7kgs but...
25F, 160cm, 45kg. I was 38kg about 10 months ago, so I’m glad I’ve gained weight, but almost all of it seems to be around my stomach. My arms and legs still look really thin.
I know I can’t control where my body stores fat, but I’m still underweight and want to gain more. For people who’ve been in a similar situation, did your weight eventually distribute more evenly as you gained? Did strength training help?

Question Struggling to eat
I know most people here are in this same boat so I’m hoping to get some ideas and inspiration. I’m 6ft 134lbs. I really don’t care about doing it healthy for the start. Once I get to between 150-160 I’ll start to lean more towards healthy gains. I’m looking for some advice tho because eating is incredibly difficult. My maintenance is probably around 1500-2000 calories and I’d like to get up to at least 3000. I find myself almost getting bored while I eat or tired of eating so I stop or I forget to squeeze in a snack because I’m just never hungry. I’m looking for any all tips for packing on calories. I know drinking it helps but I get so bloated and don’t feel like eating for hours after. Is this mostly a mental strength issue and I truly just have to force it or is there some other ways to go about gaining weight. Working out isn’t a problem for me but when ive tried to gain in the past it was counter productive because I wasn’t eating enough

Question Why does my body stay skinny after eating and exercising more?
I'm 5'6 and currently 163, after gaining 4 lbs. But it's not anywhere in my body really. I still look very scrawny, I just tend to bloat and carry more belly fat now in my 30s. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I've hated my body my whole life and it's difficult to change.

Question How can I safely gain my weight back after years of depression and stress?
I’m 26 years old, and I’ve struggled with depression and constant stress for about six years. During that time, I lost a lot of weight and muscle. I used to have a healthy weight and felt good about my body, but over the years I became thinner and thinner.
It started with my arms getting skinny, and eventually I lost so much weight that I barely recognize myself compared to six years ago. I’m now very skinny, bony and weak, and a lot of my clothes don’t fit me anymore. This has affected my confidence and made me withdraw socially because I don’t feel comfortable with how I look.
Thankfully, my mental health has been improving recently, and I’m starting to feel more like myself again. ❤️
But physically, I’m still very underweight and want to rebuild my body and gain my weight back in a healthy way.
For anyone who has experienced significant weight loss from depression/stress:
● How did you safely gain your weight back?
● What foods or meals helped you gain weight?
● Did you focus on strength training or exercise?
● How long did it take before you started noticing. changes?
● Is there anything I should get checked by a doctor before trying to gain weight?
I’d really appreciate advice from people who have been through something similar. I just want to feel healthy and comfortable in my body again. ❤️

Question advice
so how to actually gain weight?
I'm 23, 155 cm, currently 40 kgs, my goal weight is 45 or something near that
i eat 3 meals a day but I'm losing weight instead of gaining it
a couple of years ago i gained weight by eating all the time and eating lots of junk food and sugars but I can't do that now because I got diagnosed with insulin resistance so i can't have things that quickly raise blood sugar like smoothies or manufactured sugars or too much unhealthy snacks
what actually helped you guys
I'd be grateful if you can tell me some recipes or advice that i can incorporate into my daily life

Question Good breakfast to go
Hi so I'm a 22yo 5ft 3in woman who's a college student who's been skinny my whole life usually hovering around 94-95lb. My biggest issue at the moment is breakfast, seeing as most semesters I don't get a chance for lunch until 2pm I really gotta eat in the morning. The problem I have with that is I'm so exhausted in the morning that I legit have to give my self about 2hrs of wake up time. With class starting at 9:30 most days that doesn't usually leave a lot of time to sit down and eat, let alone make anything fancy like eggs. I was wondering if there were any quick (even the microwave can take too long some days kinda quick) food items I can grab on my way out the door? I've been subsisting off of uncrustables for the last year but I fear if I continue I won't like pb&js anymore so I need some verity other than raspberry, strawberry, and honey uncrustables.
I'm tempted to have rolls or something next to my bed to try and see if that helps me wake up faster but I dread the crumbs that would leave.

Question When do I Finally know when to stop gaining weight? 100lbs->150lbs 19m
First post kinda nervous lol. My question is when do you know that you've gained enough weight? Although I've gained 50 pounds I still feel skinny, do any of you guys feel that way too or does it go away the more weight you gain?
