This is our new thread.

Where is everyone with their weights? I must confess I haven't done mine but will get it done asap (must still get scales).

So come on ladies post our weights up.......

Yeah, ta lou.

Had a blip, thread here, but things are better. I need to get some help with my hormones, they are causing major problems.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I still haven't got any scales. Thought Asda or Tesco might have some, will have to try to get to Argos sometime this week.

hello everyone.....i was directed to this thread so i've come over to join.

i've been weighed by the practice nurse today and am a shocking 6 and a half stone! i'm only 5ft 2 so i don't look really skinny but i'd like to put a little bit of weight back on.

Thankyou SaintGeorge for giving me the link to this thread!

Im sorry everyone I have been away (on holiday) and not maintaining this thread. Now to get us back on track can everyone weigh in for this weekend.

I have put on weight this week (yey) I now weight 7st 11 1/4 (weighed before breakfast). I am really hoping I can keep it on at home. I have stocked up on ensure to help me on my way.

Hello Queenrollo welcome to the weight gain thread. How much weight would you like to put on?

O.M.G.



I demand a recount.

6, read it, 6 stones

I seriously don't understand this. I finally got around to buying the scales 2 weeks ago and I was 6st 10lb. I suspected I might have lost a little because of a tummy bug this week.

But 10lbs in a fortnight!

It will take me years to put that back on.

Are you sure your scales are accurate? that does sound like rather a lot St G- has anything happened to make you lose weight?

Jajas how much have you lost? Im the same -whenever I have a lot to do /or something to worry about I lose weight. In fact my average weight 4 years ago was about 8st and apart fom when I was pregnant with Ds I have never weighed anything near that since.

Difficult to say how accurate without going elsewhere to get weighed.

They are brand new and we checked them as per the instructions when we got them. I calibrated them again before I used them today.

If I had got weighed last year and then today, I would have expected a big drop because the last year has been hellish. But in the last fortnight? No way, I have been stuffing my face, should be piling the ounces pounds on.

Rang DH in shock to tell him. He will get weighed tonight. If he has dropped dramatically as well then at least we will know it is the scales.

THANK F*%^ FOR THAT!

DH just got weighed on them and he has, apparently, lost exactly 1 stone.

His weight seems to be incredibly stable so I am working on the theory that the scales are, for some mysterious reason, 1 stone out.

So working on that theory I weigh 7stone today so actually a gain of 4lb rather than a loss.

Confused, but very relieved.

I weigh 7st 12- that's a gain of 5 pounds!! I have been so busy that I have not had time to do my frequent snacking so now I'm eating 3 normal meals and drinking 3 ensure shakes just after. I have to get some more though I am just about to run out. I got my last lot from ebay I cant seem to find them anywhere else. The chocolate ones are really quite ok but I dont know what the other flavours taste like. Im off to ebay to see if I can find myself some more....

BTW I want everyone's weight up this weekend no excuses. Come on ladies.

Because we are all unhappy with being skinny/underweight and I myself would like to be able to wear clothes that aren't just to hide myself iyswim unfortunately I am naturally skinny (genes, fast metabolism etc) and have to work really hard to gain weight and wanted to get/give support to/from others like me hence the thread (although lou33 started it really)

Both my brothers struggled to put weight on when they were younger (think same applies now). When they were still at home (early 20s) my mother would make delicious banana milkshakes, with ice cream and honey and egg, which seemed to help. Also, they used to have ones of those power shake things with a meal.

I, on the other hand, had no trouble.

i havent had a chance to weigh myself recently , but i know i have lost weight just by looking at myself, due to that sodding mouth ulcer, which has refused to go

however i went to the gp on tuesday afternoon because of it, and got a course of anti biotics, and my mouth seems pretty much pain free now, so i have been stuffing my face

i think it is working, and i can see a slight change

i do hope so, because on tuesday when getting changed i burst into tears at how thin i looked

oh lou that's a long mouth ulcer. If you can, I really recommend ensure they are really working for me and so convenient (sounding like an advert). Its really helped me gain these extra pounds.
