    Have you gained weight during this pandemic? If so, what do you think has contributed the most -- that is, are you snacking on a certain food you shouldn't be, are you less physically active, etc.?

    I worked so hard to lose weight after my 4th son was born. It took 2 years to lose 78lbs, and I was doing fantastic and keeping it off…until I got covid in August. I don’t know why, but I have been gaining weight since I got covid. I’m a long hauler too. I still exercise daily and do everything I was doing before. I’m so sick of this! I want from 145 to 162 in 7 months and it’s so freaking depressing. Long haul Covid totally screwed up my entire life!!

      I'm 264 pounds male, and work 6 hours cutting sparagus in a 85 degree weather. I sweat like crazy and the funny thing is that instead of of losing weight I'm gaining. I only eat three times a day and I think I take a 1800 calorie intake. I take anti depressants and went to the doctor, he told me medication doesn't make you gain weight. I'm so confused I don't know why I am not losing weight.

    I did the exercise and gained 3 pounds in 2 days. I tried 6000, 10000 and 15000 steps I gained
    1/2 pound, 2 and 3 in one week. I don't try anymore I'm almost overweight I ate 1500 and should have maintained I didn't. I gained 3 in
    2 days. I'm at the last size in the UK and I used to be a size 6. I'm not one bit happy. I counted calories I increases walking to 90 minutes and gained on 1500 a day. I've knee pain and osteoporosis. It's not good enough. I cut my sugar and salt in half and gained faster than I ever did in my life. Walking more steps made it worse so I'm back to none. I'm.already suffering from undiagnosed headache issue and taking the last size hurts I'm in the mens section as it didn't fit i tried on a size 22. Dunno what that is in the US. I did this over time. I've very thick thighs. Its not the size I'm worried about it's the fact I will ultimately be overweight. Maybe it's the stress of counting causing water retention. Running helped but I was gaining way faster over time and had to give it up.

    I've been trying to gain weight for years. At 5'7" I'm only 104.2 lbs. And this is using medication and special diets to gain weight. My weekly food budget is $250-$300 usd. I eat around 8-10k Calories a day. I exercise regularly and my job as a janitor has a lot of manual labour. I don't drive so I have to walk everywhere. I recently bought a mobility scooter to cut down on energy expenditure. Idk what else to do?

    Thanks to Oxycodone tablets I have put a fair bit of weight on this past year. I promised myself I would get back to a healthy weight asap and in these past 3 months I have dropped weight like no tomorrow. Ugh it sucks being pretty attractive and yet I tend to struggle with my weight. I'm sooo proud of how much weight I have lost though! Finally I am back to a stick thin weight 🤓 yay to being 24 years old, glamourous and thin again. It doesn't help that I feel like a literal fridge at my heaviest. Lots of skipping meals and strict, strict dieting and vaping. I'm at the point I'm practically vegan and although I know I can go back to a regular diet I am so, so sick of my weight yo-yo-ing.

      @@MajdMD Dr Majd, maybe you can answer a question I have. 5 years ago I weighed 72kg and my waist (nurse measured) was 68.5cm. Now I am 68kg but my waist is stubbornly stuck at 73cm. In between was a period of obesity, a waist > 90cm and - you guessed it, I bet - menopause. My question is, is my thicker waist an inevitability with aging, or is it possible to get back to my premenopause waist? Google isn't helping. Don't worry, my BMI is 24, I'm not at risk of doing anything crazy.
