Anybody else trying to GAIN weight?

Lots and lots of thread about weight loss, but is there anyone else here that needs to gain?

I’m the worst eater in the world and can honestly go days on just tea, after a bit of a bad time with my mental health last year I became very underweight and so my New Years resolution was to gain some back, I could do with gaining around a stone and a half I think to look healthy again

So far I’m up to eating 2 meals a day and I’m actually becoming hungry again for the first time in a long time, it’s yet to show on the scales though 🙄

Anyone else trying to gain?

Yes me! Its bloody difficult im 7.5 stone and need to be closer to 8 or 8.5 and its not easy even though i feel im eating high fat food none stop.

Me! I've started adding a weight gain shake made with full fat milk with my usual breakfast. I purchase from MyProtein.com. They're low sugar, high protein and added carbs, a shake adds about 400 calls to my day and I've gained half a stone in a month or so, hope that helps!

Yes!

Another one guilty of going days on just coffee and cigarettes, ive been drinking a lot of full fat milk as well as a high carb/protein mass gainer shake from Holland & Barret and I'm noticing a difference.

Minimised my cardio, concentrate on weights at gym now. It's actually so tough isn't it? There's not much understanding or sympathy from family and friends either...

Yes, me. When I’m stressed I completely lose my appetite and it takes ages for it to come back, so I lose weight. I haven’t got much to lose. I’ve lost over half a stone since Christmas and now have a BMI of 17. I feel like crap too.

Yep, me, but I'm terrible a lot of the time and just don't get hungry enough to meet my body's needs. TTC next year and need 5kg on me first. It's a lot harder than it sounds, especially when trying not to stuff my face with pure crap.
