How much weight have you gained from 1 year ago?

[Anonymous]

Gained around 3 lbs at start of pandemic and that jolted me into an exercise routine. I hadn’t been doing anything for years. I now have a good routine and feel great mentally and physically. I’ve been at my pre-pandemic healthy weight for 8 months now.

I'm down four pounds. Office snacks, how I've missed you.

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.

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.

Thanks PP. I know I need to get back to moving my body somehow. I used to be a runner and would really love to get back to it once it's a little warmer.

20 pounds and it is like doing the cha cha! I lose 5-7 and gain it back, lose some, and gain it back. ugh!!

19 pounds.

It's so disheartening.

I’m up about twenty but I also have a newborn. (Yes, quarantine baby. On purpose. No regrets.)

I'm up 3lbs but I think it's because I started lifting weights back in October. My body has changed for the better but the scale creeps upward, so i no longer step on it and instead focus on getting stronger.

In 2018, I lost 50 pounds...and kept it off until the pandemic, and have not gained much during the pandemic, despite all the stress, less exercise, and everything else.

That's amazing! Sounds like you're doing great.

+ 1

Congrats!!! Rock on!!

I'm down 10lbs. I don't eat or snack much at home, just when I need to feed DD meals. All my snacking happens when I'm in the office and am trying to find things to distract me.

About 3. But amazingly I have curves again for the first time since I stopped nursing for the last time 2 years ago. Never thought I would see those again!

-8 lbs.

Lost weight because I no longer get Starbucks several times a week, no picking up treats while grocery shopping, no TJs chocolate treats, no eating out... We do occasionally get takeout and it tastes so salty to me now! I do kind of miss TJs and Target though.
