in Getting Started
I have gained 62 lbs since March 2020. I had Covid, was given steroids and ballooned 41 lbs of that. I'm trying to get into that motivated head space, but have found it incredibly difficult. I feel when we support each other, we hff have the best chance of success. Anybody want to share this journey with me? 🙂❤

    I had a COVID bump of about 20 lbs, on top of another 10 that had crept on over the previous 6 months.

    Although I knew I had to do something about it, I really was not looking forward to weighing my food and logging honestly again. But when I started at the end of June, I was surprised at what a comfort it was. Eating mindfully and logging honestly felt like an act of self- care because it was something over which I had control in an otherwise very uncertain and turbulent time. Maybe thinking of it in that way can help :-)

    I gained 25lbs during lockdown. I used this site 7 years ago so when I entered my new measurements I was in for a shock. I have an additional 16 inches? I'm trying not to get discouraged on the first day back.

    I gained 30lbs this last year. I am also trying so hard to stay motivated. Would love it if you all would friend me. I need support too. We just have to hang in there.

    Gained quite a lot in lockdown and struggling to get rid of it, especially still working at home and my beloved gyms closed. Happy for people to add me, not sure I know how!

    I have gained 15 pounds since COVID lockdown started March 2020. I'm over 55 and very discouraged. I don't know how to use this site to add friends or join groups.

    I am here again. I was overweight before but have added 30 pounds since Covid. I would like to join this accountability group. I am having a terrible time controlling what I eat and I have no energy to do anything

    Covid has really made the struggles to weight lose so much harder and because you can't really go anywhere what's left as an outlet...food! But then for me I just started feeling bad..bp and cholesterol is up no energy..so here I am starting again..I'm 5 days in so far so good I have about 50lbs to lose. I found this fun YouTube video takes 10 minutes and you can do it at home! (Sorry I don't know how to post it) but if you type in:
    Burn 10 walk at home fitness video with Leslie Sansone it will come up..best of luck to you all! 🌻
