Pandemic Weight Gain ...Yes or No

Curious...is it just or have many others been eating too much and exercising too little since the covid pandemic began?
I’m definitely fatter and more out of shape.
Exercise and eat sensibly no matter what.

I am both exercising more and eating more, unfortunately eating is winning.

Now there are only two things in life, but I forget what they are.

I have actually lost weight, though it is unrelated to Pandemic boredom. The divorce process has sapped much of my desire to eat like I used to.

I'm gaining weight on purpose, but sensibly. I'm following a new exercise regime and roughly keeping tabs on the carb/protein/fat content of my daily intake using myfitnesspal.

This may be controversial, but you won't lose weight at the gym. Just eat MOSTLY vegetables and you will lose weight. Eat as much as you want but MOSTLY vegetables. Use stevia instead of sugar. Avoid sugar. Read ingredient statements.

From Jan 2020, to Aug 2020, I lost over 40 #s, and didnt know why. Then I learned I was now a diabetic, and I blamed that for my weight loss, but my dietitian said it would not last, and I needed to be careful of I would start gaining weight again. Well, since NOV 2020, I have gained back 10#s, but I attribute THAT to my in-activity, because I also have had increasing heart issues, which have caused me to be very sedentary. COVID hibernating is also to blame, but my main exercise over the last year has been SEX, and have not had near as much of that as just 1 year ago, that being due to my COVID hibernation, and not meeting new partners. AND 1 of my 3 FWBs is now preggers (and NO, not mine) and so far hasnt wanted to have funn with me, as she thinks it would be cheating on the baby daddy, tho no plans to get married, but I am awaiting the day when she needs more than he gives her, and I will be ready to resume our funn. AND the 2nd of my FWBs is a bartender, has had COVID, and comes in contact with other COVID infected people all to frequently, and so we have stopped meeting, and so that only leaves me with #3, and we dont meet more than about once a week! Previous to COVID, 1 or the other of my FWBs visited almost daily, so I got alot more exercise.

I was overweight & also I’d lost half a lung 25yrs ago so a respiratory disease 🦠 was the last thing I needed!
So I decided to give up takeaways & only have treats & alcohol 🍺 on the weekends! Also since lockdown I walk every day & try to walk at least 12k steps a day (I’m averaging 20k since March) & have now lost 31lbs!
If I do contract Covid-19 hopefully 🙏 I’ve now given myself a fighting chance to get through it!!

I only gained about 5 lbs., but I did get softer. Working from home.
Just got back to the gym and dropped a few lbs and feel a little better already.

People have been eating too much and using pandemic as an excuse. Parks are open or you can exercise in your home . There many things u can do to avoid weight gain .

It happened. Life changed slightly and I didn’t get as much exercise. I wasn’t out meeting people or just being as busy. Put on a few pounds

Was not able to vote because the two categories do not apply to me.

3rd Category - Maintaining without any changes to lifestyle.

I’ve gained quite a few pounds and I’m trying to find a buddy to go to the gym with because I need motivation.

I work in Healthcare so have worked through it all except for 1 month (June 2019) when I had Covid 19 and had to take time off, also training for another marathon so weight has stayed almost static
