Start Weight:	(07 Apr 10) 88.0 lb
Current Weight:	(08 Apr 13) 92.8 lb
Goal Weight:	95.0 lb

following: arianek's own diet
performance: gaining 0.4 lb a week

I've had IBS (chronic illness that affects digestive system) since I was a child, and it's been a rough couple years, resulting in losing a lot of weight. I desperately need to gain a bunch of weight back, so am trying to track my caloric intake to help with that, as I've been totally unsuccessful the last couple years.

UPDATE: A year later (2011) and I'm still struggling to gain weight, though generally feeling better and having fewer IBS flareups.

My quest to gain 22lbs
Calorie intake is key, but I know how hard it can be to get the extra food in. I am 30 yrs old, 5'1" and 88lbs after being really sick last year (bad IBS flareup). Cause of my stomach problems and food allergies, it's really hard to get enough high cal food to gain weigh into me. If I eat as much as I feel like, it's usually about 1500-1600 calories. To gain 1/2lb per week I need to get in 2200cal per day, which is super hard! BUT it does work. I managed to do that for a while last year, and it helped me to gain a few lbs (I was 85 at my lowest), but I've majorly plateaued now.

I can't eat much unhealthy food (allergic to dairy/gluten, and high fat upsets my stomach), but the highest cal foods I've found are:

- coconut milk ice cream (so delicious brand)
- halvah (a sweet sesame seed paste)
- fruit and nut bars/orbs
- dark chocolate

Good luck!

I think I've gained a bit due to a new medication I started a few weeks ago.
