1. I gained about five pounds in March and April..

but I’ve lost it over the last two months. Controlling the stress eating and walking, walking, walking.

[spinbaby]

2. I gained and then lost weight

I’m at the same weight as the start of the pandemic, but it’s not true my weight has stayed the same.

[Luciferous]

10. Me too! I gained about 15 pounds and then lost 17.

[LiberalFighter]

3. Since May 7th I have lost nearly 40 lbs.

[Rorey]

9. That's awesome!

Well, if you wanted to lose it, that is.

I was doing great before the pandemic. I need to socially distance from my kitchen.

[a kennedy]

12. Shut up.......

Sorry, and good for you.

[LiberalFighter]

16. I sympathize. Maybe some reciprocal sympathy for me??? :)

To make this happen I had to spend nearly 3 hours a day walking the treadmill. 2 sessions a day. Sometimes I feel I'm not getting anywhere but I keep going. I just got under 200 yesterday. I only consider the weight before I do my first session.

I originally walked barefoot on the treadmill and then had to wear sneakers. Those sneakers have gotten worn down walking at least 6 miles, mostly at least 7 daily.

4. I am definitely stress eating.

NT

[demtenjeep]

5. too much

my doc calls it the covid-15

[Horse with no Name]

8. My doc called it the Covid-20

Haha

[dameatball]

6. Gained about 8, lost 16 on a diet, left diet and gained back 3. Give or take a pound.

Tonight I have been doing battle with a Publix mango key lime pie, so who knows what the week shall bring.

[Rorey]

11. The pie wouldn't survive long at my house.

I live alone, and have very little will power, so I definitely can't get pie.

[dameatball]

24. Yeah, same here. First real sweet treat I have had in about three months.

[KentuckyWoman]

27. Hahaha

Oh I really like you.

[dameatball]

35. well ty. I had been trying the Keto diet, but broke down and wanted some of the nonos...:)

[Freethinker65]

7. COVID, furloughed, and entered menopause

5-10 pounds

[Arkansas Granny]

13. I don't have any scales, but my clothes seem to be fitting the same.

I've been doing a lot of yard work this summer, which has helped. That could change with cooler weather and staying inside more.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

14. Lost almost 40 lbs. since February.

Not going to restaurants or hanging out (eating) with friends, eating only what I order online (no snacks, desserts, few carbs) made it relatively easy, though it's been about the only upside of the whole situation. I'm wearing clothes in sizes that I haven't been able to wear in 20 years. I look better than I have in a long time, but now nobody sees me.

[LiberalFighter]

18. Nobody seeing you? That thin? LOL

[LiberalFighter]

19. I had to start wearing a size smaller jeans now.

Jeans were not staying in place.

[TexasTowelie]

21. Yes, but you can feel good about yourself when you finally get to show off that bikini bod.

Since you are in a northern state you may have to wait until summer of next year though.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

31. Bikini, LOL!

Not gonna happen.

[Awsi Dooger]

15. 5 or 6 pounds

It was closer to 10 at one point

It was all very early, back in March when I stocked up at BJ's just before quarantine. They had trail mix on sale and their classic trail mix is fantastic. I bought 8 or 9 huge bags, expecting them to last months but I was going through one every 2 days.

Since then I've eaten more sensibly

[Siwsan]

17. I force myself to eat twice a day

Breakfast of a scrambled egg BEFORE 10 am, and then something else between 2 and 4 in the afternoon. Sometimes just a sandwich.

And belts are now a necessity.

[LizBeth]

20. Like others gained then lost down 20lb from high. No take out fast food, no process and lots of

walking until smoke.

[Tribetime]

22. I was fine until I started coaching baseball

Trying to keep up with the 12 yr olds...hamstring...calve..elbow..I had to stop exercising and eat ice cream. Don't do this if you're 60

[Dem2theMax]

23. Lost six from having Covid-19.

That was in March. But in the past two months I've put seven back on.

Schwan's delivers ice cream.

I can also blame it on the heat. Too hot to exercise.
(Is that a good excuse?)

[pnwest]

25. #Quarantine15

[KentuckyWoman]

26. I've lost 57 pounds in 2020 - 30 more to go

When my husband was sick I really porked up. Stress eating.

It is not any sort of accomplishment losing the weight. He's gone now and it's just me. Not a whole lot to do since you can only clean the kitchen so many times....so a lot of bike riding and walks. Plus most meals all alone really suck.

[Blaukraut]

28. 20. The first 10 crept on slowly, but the last 10 packed on in the last 2 months.

Hubby and I managed to eat somewhat decent food from the beginning of the shutdown until the end of May. But then our daughter came to stay for three months, along with her 1 and 6 year old. I needed my daily bottle of wine to unwind at night. The kids did to me what COVID couldn't... I turned into a drunken slug. Thankfully they finally went home last week and I've stopped imbibing. Dropped 4 lbs so far.

[UpInArms]

29. I have a hard time eating when I am anxious

Keeping weight has always been a problem for me during any republican administration.

[RazzleCat]

30. I lost, but I look fatter

no exercise, who knew that going out was keeping me toned. So now I have to motivate to get moving. Honest, I think I lost muscle and gained fat. so look bigger weigh less

[GulfCoast66]

32. I've been furloughed since April. Have lost 15lbs.

The wife is back to work and we are fine financially. I cook healthy at home and we seldom eat out now. Plus active round the house. And we fish on the gulf which is very active. Only 2 meals a day. A smoothie of 2 cups of fruit, Icelandic Skyr and water for an early lunch and a healthy dinner when the wife gets home.

If not for beer and and Bourbon on the weekend I would have lost 40 lbs!

[Iggo]

33. Up and down as usual.

Up right now, because I can’t exercise outside during the heat wave (SoCal heat wave goes about a month and a half) and due to the bad air quality (wildfire, you know).

It gets back down to the low 80s and I’ll be able to take walks and get back down to my fighting weight.

[tenderfoot]

34. I lost weight

not much but I'm down a few lbs.

[Codeine]

36. I never gain or lose weight.

I’ve been within five pounds of my current weight since I was 16 — I’m coming up on 51 in a few months.
