Yes!  I added a few lbs on top of my usual extra winter weight that is usually gone by late spring early summer.

 

I recently cut my food intake by 1/3, added more veg to my diet and so far 5 lbs gone pretty quickly, I was surprised.  I'm also getting out more,, safely of course Smiley Happy

Sorry to say -- yes!  I can't attribute it only to the virus.  I think it's part that and part retiring.  I just haven't found my food groove or something!

Yes........😩

 

About 5lbs.     I have managed to get rid of 2 of them.  Working on the other 3.........

 

Went to our favorite farm on Friday and I got some beautiful, local and organic produce. That will be helping me!!!

No but I still could stand to lose some. To hot to exercise (it's already 90 degrees and it's 5am, that's probably the low for the day) and the gyms are closed so we bought a rower to give us some exercise. I've been doing 30 minutes 4-5 times a week.

No, I was fine until a while ago when there were medical things.  Now I seem have wondered into underweight territory.

You betcha!  I had already gained about 12 pounds from the holidays and vacation and then when I normally find my resolve and work on losing weight the pandemic hit.  Gained about 5-8 pounds from that.  So all and all I am looking at 20 pounds that I need to get rid of. Working on it now.

Probably...it's stress eating for me and I'm too afraid to get on the scale!

 

I happened to hear on the radio just a few days ago that the average "Pandemic weight" gain is 16 lbs.
