gaining weight isn't the easiest thing for me, either. one lovely summer, i got a bit addicted to grapefruit and before i knew it, i'd lost lbs. oops! 
that summer i found out something more about grapefruit than i had wanted. i had a similar experience with oatmeal. i was eating oatmeal every morning and before long, i realized i had put on weight. i was so surprised but then i added 2+2 and got oatmeal.
it was so surprising because i'd tried to gain weight before without success. it's funny how our individual bodies will respond to different foods and dietary changes.
one of the many things i found out here on breastnexus that really floored me was this thing about hi-glycemic food items and the destructive impact they have on collagen. can't remember, atm, but apparently, either the high blood sugar or the insulin spike had a degrading affect on the collagen matrix or whatever. i need to go looking for that thread, again. it seems like every time i visit my mother, her eyes appear a tiny bit more sunken and i'd like to do what i can to protect the delicate integrity of soft tissue. anyway, that was a bit off topic. i wish i had more to offer. i've been consuming more protein and doing these walking lunges to gain some muscle at my bottom. sometimes, the changes we're looking for are impossible to see if you look daily but, little by little with persistence, the change happens. good luck with gaining the lbs you seek.
