I don’t know, probably 10-15.
Am optimistic that when I start cycling to work again and eating healthier lunches it will be easy to lose. Right now I just snack too much and move too little. |

| Sadly it’s +10. I don’t think I am eating more but am definitely less active. I still run a few times a week and try to hike, etc but otherwise I am only walking a few steps around the house which just isn’t enough. Even zoom calls contribute to a more sedentary life because I used to walk around during conference calls. Now that summer is looming I am going to try to drop the lbs. |

Frustratingly, about the same weight -- and I say frustrating because I've been incredibly physically active (gone from couch to 5k, now nearing 10k, tons of BBG).
But, I think I look hotter, so that's good. |

About 10.
But I think my face looks better. It's filled out with the extra weight (I'm mid 40s). Growing older sucks. |

I gained about 4 pounds last year but starting in early January I got myself back to tracking calories and I am back to where I was a year ago. I agree with the poster that said not to let it get too far because it is much easier to lose 4 to 6 pounds then it is to lose 15 or 20.
Getting outside nearly every day has been wonderful for my health and my sanity. I’m hopeful that after this morning’s new wintery mix dump, I’ll be able to get out every day again soon. |

| 20 lbs. It’s horrible but my husband has been on me like white on rice recently so I think he’s loving it. |

| Ive been gaining and losing the same 5 lbs. Not a HUGE deal, since I'm not trying to be thinner overall, just don't want the extra 5 to stick around |

| I lost and am now skinny-fat. And before you think I'm bragging, I have no butt, my face looks worse (I'm 40), and my boobs look like deflated water balloons. I used to look (and be) fit. I completely lose my appetite when stressed on depressed and I can't seem to motivate myself to exercise. |

| I lost 15lbs pre-covil (January - March) and have gained back 10 of it. I'm so upset with myself for letting this happen. |

This is me, too, and I feel you. It’s not a “yay I look great” kind of thin. It’s low energy, being unable to eat or just having no appetite (or forgetting to eat when I’m really depressed). Exercise is the best way out if it for me, because it spurs my appetite and also gets me drinking more water. I’ve had some success the last month or so doing short workouts online. If I can start the day with a 30 minute workout, it helps get me on track with eating. Been doing barre which helps with muscle mass, too. When it’s warm I’ll mix in some running. If I don’t exercise, I get really depressed and my weight can drop to scary levels. |

| Turns out while peanut butter is very comforting… It is a backhanded therapy. Let’s just say it looks like I prepared for winter. Also, next winter and perhaps the one after that. |

| Luckily, I don't have a scale. |
