    Breaking Plateaus--Suggestions?

    Thank you all very much---very helpful. Good news, I weighed in this monring (before breakfast/empty stomach) at 265--a two pound gain---so it looks like I just need to be patient and consistent---I just want to be at 300--like yesterday. I know I need to just chill and enjoy the journey. I...

    Breaking Plateaus--Suggestions?

    People talk about "set points" and how they are the reason maintaining weightloss is so difficult. We'll I seem to have run into the other side of things...I'm having a hard time getting past 263. I'm consumming 4,000 calories per day--and to be honest--that's about as many as I feel like I...

    Gaining over 50 yrs old

    I love this post. I'm only 47... but close enough. I gained 50 pounds two years ago--when I went through a pretty intense season of kicking dieting (which I had been religous about since my mid-twenties) out of my life. I went from 215, to 265... I have since settled back to around 255---and...

    Battling Heartburn--any suggestions?

    Awesome... you know--I don't battle heartburn nea as much when I'm maintainin my weight---it's just when I'm on a pushing to gain... perhaps I just need to chill a bit and gain slower. But I could do the prylosec during big eating seasons... and lay off during maintenance seasons. Thanks!

    Why are you gaining weight?

    I've only been gaining since Dec. of 2011. I've gained 50 pounds so far--and I absolutely love it. I was athletic and thin as a kid/teen... and I thought fat people were all a bunch of lazy people who just didn't care about their bodies... through my twenties I grew a little pot belly... in my...

    From BIG 2 Blessed.

    I've come across a number of Christians here. I would love to hear from you in this thread! I know many people in the Christian community hastily and frankly ignorantly stereotype fat people as gluttons (which is totally off base). I just launched a new blog about living a big, fat...

    Question--My goal is...

    Thanks Marlayna... Ya... I get that. My only concern is that Ithink I may have stretched my stomach out to an extent that I have a 600 pound appetite :D I.e. that I'll blow right by 300... the reason I don't want to go past 300 is health and mobility---I love to work out and...

    Question--My goal is...

    AmyJo... thanks so much. Question.... I think I remember reading a post from you about the changes you experienced going from 250 to 300... Is my memory correct? If yes---would you mind sharing about that here? I'm totally interested. Thanks...

    Question--My goal is...

    My goal is 300 pounds. I'm at 260 right now. I've gained 50 pounds this year--and I've developed a pretty heavy eating schedule. I've gained steadily--an average of about a pound a week. But... here's my question... Right now I'm "pushing it a bit"... I.e. I eat sometimes "just because"...

    Am I crazy?

    Okay, so I went to the thrift store yesterday to buy new pants--because I got too fat for my old ones. I picked out a few pair that looked nice--I went up a size to a 44" waist... went to the fitting room... tried them on... and to my surprise, they were too tight---and my instant reaction was...

    Comparing Experiences...

    I'm still new to this. I've experienced a lot of changes and a lot of emotions over the past 11 months. I don't know if I'm uniqe or if other people's experiences line up with mine. I'm going to share some of my experiences with gaining (briefly) below--and I would love to hear from you in...

    Newbie... thoughts please....

    I'm feeling kind of strange. I feel great, but kind of guilty at the same time. About 11 months ago--I discovered (via FA and HAES boards/blogs) the truth about dieting--that it had only made me fatter and put a lot of stress on my body along the way--in response I kicked the whole notion of...

    How did you become so fat?

    I fought my weight for years---it was losing battle--every diet I was on--WORKED-----I lost weight---then I got hungry and gained it all back--then holidays, birthday, celebrations, etc, hit and I ate more (loved every bit of it)... Then one day---I discovered FA---and everything changed for...
