Hi! Im 19M and Ive joined this community about 9 months ago at around 135 pounds. I used to be textbook skinny and I decided to start gaining. 55 pounds later I look like a completely different person. Ive had to replace mostly all my clothing and my habits have changed drastically. I jiggle with any sudden movements and my belly sticks out of every shirt. Ive enjoyed my weight gain experience a lot and I think this change was positive. AMA

I M19 have been gaining weight for the past year. I started off relatively skinny at less than 60kg and gained up to 83kg at the moment. It has been a big change in all aspects and I look like a completely different person but I still enjoy the gain a lot. My initial goal was 70kg so It was definitely surprising to me when I got there and wanted more. At that point I had a slight belly but nothing out of the ordinary. Even then a few people noticed my gain but the reactions were mostly positive. When I reached 80kg about a month ago I had to face it... I was officially chubby. A belly that sticks out through every shirt, moobs that jiggle as I walk, I honestly didn't expect to get this big. Almost everyone I know has in some way commented on how chubby im getting and I honestly enjoyed it. I was pretty content with my physique at that point so I decided to stop gaining (at least intentionally) but that hasn't gone to plan. My appetite has genuinely increased so much that Ive gained a further 3kg this month completely by accident and that doesn't seem to be stopping. If I wanted I probably could try to eat less but I can't be bothered at this point. Thats pretty much my wg journey so far. Do yall think I should keep on going or have I gained enough? I don't plan on going past 100kg as I am a bit afraid of health consequences at that point but It might just happen either way.

For the last few year I (M20) have been eating like a slob and overindulging at every occasion I got and it's safe to say that it has left its consequences. I went from textbook skinny at around 130 pounds to chubby all over at 181 at the moment. The initial goal was to gain 30 or so pounds but I enjoyed it so much I just kept on going. While I love gaining and I am not intending to loose this weight it definitely has its downsides. First of all I've had to replace pretty much every piece of clothing I owned and I am close to needing to do that all over again. Secondly, I do enjoy sport, especially basketball and it has become increasingly difficult to play it with all the extra flab I have to carry. I do also care about my health and I do think that going over 200 pounds wouldn't be wise in that regard. So here is my question for you. Should I keep going and if so how much more should I gain/where should I stop? I would also appreciate if you shared your own experiences/advice.
