Weight gain support group
I thought I'd make a thread so all us underweight people can share tips on weight gain for the summer.
Me: 8 stone 3 pounds-ish. Target weight: 10 stone. (According to my scales but they are cheap ones from Argos so who really knows).
Some of my tips:
Have an extra two sandwiches as a 4th meal.
Add a extra jacket potato to every meal.
Don't miss meals (obviously).
Have snacks on hand at easy reach.
Exercise more to gain an appetite and body tone.
Watch "supersize vs superskinny" for inspiration.

Basically, the truth of the matter is, gaining weight is not hard if you put enough effort in.
That's right, YOU'RE NOT CONSUMING ENOUGH CALORIES AT THE MOMENT. Forget all this 'I have rubbish genes' or 'I find it really hard to put on weight' argument.
Forget all the extra sandwiches and snacks and so forth. Drink lots of milk, whole milk preferably. We're talking 5 or 6 pints a day, maybe more. Lots of eggs. We're talking upwards of 5 a day. Oats. Nuts. Those kinds of foods in copious quantities.
Do weights. It will increase your appetite and make sure you don't just gain fat. Cut out most, if not all, cardio - that makes you lose weight.
