Do you have extra pandemic pounds?

I'm on a diet because I want to feel sprightly again.

I found that some summer pants had shrunk in the closet. But I am sure that it wasn’t my fault. 😊

Blodyn · 22-25, F

@monte3 Clothes do that!

monte3 · 70-79, M

@Blodyn that is exactly what I told my wife 👌

Blodyn · 22-25, F

@monte3 Did she mind or just love you to bits anyway?

UncleAlbert · 51-55, M

Yes, I've hardly spent any money due to being on lockdown.

Blodyn · 22-25, F

@UncleAlbert Me neither. I love creme eggs. I was gutted they had no hot cross buns in Tesco last week!

nedkelly · 61-69, M

Yes, I have extra pounds since I married Mrs Kelly

purplepen · 51-55, F

@nedkelly Ah she's a good cook!

TheSirfurryanimalWales · 61-69, M

No...my clothes have shrunk.

Blodyn · 22-25, F

@TheSirfurryanimalWales Take them back to Tesco. Get your money back!

StraCat · 41-45, M

@StraCat It does. But one day it will. And we shall be in that old routine we now miss!

StraCat · 41-45, M

@Blodyn Yup! I feel like we could see the end of this soon.

Blodyn · 22-25, F

@StraCat I feel hopeful.

revenant · F

yep I gained 5 kilograms. On a diet now😑

Nomoretomorrow · 46-50, M

Sadly yeah. Gym was closed plus I've been working 12 hour shifts in a care home so little time to exercise. However landed a new, albeit it temporary, job and the gym is open so hopefully going to lose it and get fit again.

Blodyn · 22-25, F

@Nomoretomorrow Hope we will get fit together. You in your care home. Me in school the last twelve months with kids whose parents work in the hospital. It's been tough but I wouldn't have missed it for the world. We feel so close.

SomebodyThatYouUsedToKnow · 36-40, F

No, stress generally makes me lose weight.

@SomebodyThatYouUsedToKnow wow.. omg.. ahh..

Blodyn · 22-25, F

@SomebodyThatYouUsedToKnow You will get through this. It doesn't go away just like that. It's really hard. You I admire for sticking with it. I wish I had a magic wand but I don't. Just thinking about you.

revenant · F

@SomebodyThatYouUsedToKnow good luck to you

hunkalove · 61-69, M

I have lost weight in the last year. I hate going to the supermarket now. I don't go until I'm out of food and haven't eaten in a couple days. I have no appetite.

Blodyn · 22-25, F

@hunkalove I shop once a week. Saturday morning. I know it will be quiet. If I forget something like I forgot mushrooms this week! Tough! Also I am a student. I have a weekly budget. What I save I give to Savannah Education Trust. They build schools in northern Ghana. Kids who once would have been subsistence farmers. Now chatting about being teachers, nurses, doctors, lawyers.

Blodyn · 22-25, F

I have acquired a tummy! But I know when I get back to the pool it will be gone in four weeks. Unless it is something else. I don't think so.

Nimbus · M

Yes but only in my wallet as I am spending less ;)

smiler2012 · 56-60

@Nimbus you tightwad nimby 😆 are you scottish or from yorkshire then

Nimbus · M

@smiler2012 All you need to know is I am not a Scouser ;)

smiler2012 · 56-60

@Nimbus ha ha ha ha i somehow nimby worked that one out for myself a good while ago 😆

summersong · F

I lost, actually. I don’t snack as much at home and eat smaller portions.

Blodyn · 22-25, F

@summersong I eat and eat! I am permanently starving! I get to school and really need to eat! At home I snack more! Like 9 o'clock I am making cheese on toast!

cherokeepatti · 61-69, F

No I don’t, lost a bit last year.

@purplepen
I think it was partly due to stopping using CBD oil and then taking collagen. CBD oil will give you the munchies. Collagen helps with cartridge and muscle

purplepen · 51-55, F

@cherokeepatti What is collagen supplement made from?

cherokeepatti · 61-69, F

@purplepen Mine is made from beef.

Oster1 · M

Not really and perhaps lost some. When I was at home, I did consume more cocktails though.😊

No I lost weight always running to the store to stock up on supplies.

Harmonium1923 · 51-55, M

No, but I’ve had to work hard to keep it that way.

Blodyn · 22-25, F

@Harmonium1923 I know. My sport has been shut down.

TimingQuasars

Yess...

Blodyn · 22-25, F

@TimingQuasars Now is the time! Go swimming, walking, to the gym. Get active!

TimingQuasars

@Blodyn yess! Thank you for the advice!

Blodyn · 22-25, F

@TimingQuasars Yw

AdaXI · 41-45, T

@SW-User I have the same problem. My friends in class think it's very funny. I am training to be a lifeguard but in three months of lockdown I have gone from 68 kg to 69kg. Massive weight gain.
