Did you gain weight during the Covid-19 lockdown?

[SamIam96]

Most of the world started a lockdown in March or April of 2020 during which time many of our routines were interrupted or changed. I worked remotely for more than a year. At the end of my workday, I had a cocktail. Honestly, it was a nice way to end the day, but I'm paying for it. I gained 10 pounds that I can't loose.

In the poll, share what caused your gain. If you were able to loose what you gained, leave an opinion with what you did.

I didn't gain enough to be concerned

I ate a lot of junk food. The supermarkets were out of a lot of different things so when they would be on the shelves we would really stock up. A lot of this was snack foods. Between being unemployed and stuck in the house and having all these snack foods around I put on 10-15 pounds. I lost it last year and this year after I started working again I put most of it back on.

Your experience sounds similar to mine. I loose it and it goes back on so easily.

Did you do anything special to loose it?

I worked out like a madman/

[SamIam96]

Damn! And it still came back? Not encouraging.

I had to go back to work and don;t have to time to workout so much anymore.

GAIN? No, I'm not part of the laptop class. Most of us lost weight when the money stopped coming in (or slowed to a trickle) and we couldn't afford to eat properly.

[SamIam96]

Sorry to hear. I hope things have improved for you.

I lost weight because I ignored the lockdowns and had all kinds of free time to go hiking, camping, fishing, cycling, etc. It's very difficult to find the time and energy for these things while also working a full-time job. I wish there was some magic trick to give me more energy for these things after work.

I gained a little bit of weight but I lost body fat.

[SamIam96]

Did you do something or did it happen on its own?

[jennifer_bloom]

I took supplements recommended by Dr. Berg for health management cause my previous weight gain was due to health issues and not poor dieting decisions.

I started the pandemic at around 190 lbs then dropped to 171 by the end of 2021. I'm 183 at the moment and trying to hit 195 by by the end of this summer

Definitely was from less activity for me. I drank less, ate healthier at home, but I had to buy all new pants. Thankfully with my return to normal work I'm back to my old size again.

I think we all gaind some weight during covid to be honest

[NathanDavis]

I lost weight... because I wasn't exercising regularly

[tfan1]

Everything except alcohol - I don’t drink alcoholic beverages 🙂

[shades777]

Apparently people have been walking less and receiving less sun light since covid which can definitely lead to fat gain

[Politikaa]

Yes, I gained weight. :(

[SamIam96]

Were you able to loose it after most restrictions were lifted?

[Pinay_ako]

Actually lost weight

[SamIam96]

Did it just happen or did you do something trying to loose?

[Pinay_ako]

Nah I had to change my habits

[SamIam96]

what did you change?

[Pinay_ako]

Eating too much

[Awantika03]
