Article: Weighing yourself regularly is important when you're trying to gain weight.  Note your starting weight and how much you're gaining per week.  This information can help see how much progress you've made or signal that you need to reevaluate your plan. Weigh yourself at the same time of day, in the same clothes or no clothes each week.  This will help cut down on any inaccuracies (like clothing or food you've consumed throughout the day). Each month, check in with your weight and food journal.  Assess how well you're doing and if you'll be able to or have reached your weight goal.  If you've been gaining weight steadily, you'll most likely reach your weight goal.  Or if you've reached your weight goal, monitor how well your current calorie level helps you maintain your weight. If you've stopped gaining weight or hit a plateau, it's time to reevaluate your diet and lifestyle.  Count your total calories again and review your food journal.  If you've been consistent with your diet, you may need to increase your calories.  Make the required changes and check back in another month to reassess your progress. A support group is helpful for any change or goal you have.  But when you're trying to gain weight (especially after an illness), a support group can help keep you motivated and encourage you as you progress towards your goal. Talk to your family and friends about your situation and your goal.  Share with them what you're doing, why and how they can help keep you on track.
