Question

Has it been hard for anyone to stay on track with everything that has been going on? I want to know if I’m the only one having trouble staying on track.  

Answer 1

I’m eating my way thru this pandemic. Scared to weigh myself.  

Comments

@windproof2 me too

Answer 2

Yes, I get bored and I run to the kitchen. Gained about 5 lbs through this. Have to do better!  

Answer 3

I am not having any issues staying on track at all. When I started I told myself I wouldn't look back, so I am chugging along and not looking or going back

Answer 4

I have the whole time, more time to focus on me

Answer 5

I gained 1. 5 pounds today.  

Answer 6

Very hard. you’re not the only one

Answer 7

We all have our habits. things we have done for a long time. We did not gain the weight overnight, over a week or a month, so to undo some of those habits will take time, but what you can CHOOSE to do is to, and it’s a conscious choice is to not let yourself take the fast and easy route. I’m sure you have the best intentions and there is drive in you. We can all do this together. The key to helping yourself is making a different decision for as many times as you can, when those cravings come. A huge help is prep things ahead. Not a huge meal, I’m talking little snacks that can help you quickly make a different choice. Vegie sticks ready to go, baggies of approved crackers, do some small bento style meals, boiled eggs. Don’t feel deflated. This program works and you will find your own way along with it

Answer 8

I'm having a hard time. I keep losing and regaining the same 3 pounds.  

Answer 9

No, I'm still losing. I think its a good time to really get into researching on how the body works for weight loss, looking up and, making new recipes

Answer 10

Down but not out

Answer 11

Same here

Answer 12

Answer 13

Virtual meetings still going on! Have lost pounds because staying at home helps me control my diet better!  

Answer 14

Oh yes. I go up 2 down 2 and repeat. Still trying to lose just 5 lbs but just not happening. There are days I keep to my points. Don’t go over then there are the other days.  

Answer 15

Way harder. No gains but no losses but constant struggle

Answer 16

No, you are not! Miss my weekly meetings. Tried to connect to the virtual ones with no success so I gave up.  

Answer 17

Me too 11 pounds up wah

Answer 18

Yes it has. I have good and bad days

Answer 19

It is hard but you can do it. I am still sticking with it and now lost another pound when I weighed myself this morning. Total 18 lbs. since starting this in January after the Holidays. I feel good too. I left myself go last year and now want to loose maybe 5 more lbs. I should be good. I am under my goal weight but I like the feeling. Next month June 12th get my Hip Replacement and really have to watch. But keep the faith. I know it is hard but you can do it.

Absolutely I am! I had lost 87lbs and now have gained 22lbs back but I'm staying positive and will get back on track soon

Answer 26

You definitely are not alone.  

Answer 27

You are not alone. its really hard being at home all the time

Answer 28

I’ve been doing horribly!  

Answer 29

I've been terrible. When I'm at work (teaching) I don't think about eating usually until I get home. Now that I'm home all day, eating is all I think about.  

Comments

@proletariat9 I feel the same way. I’m also a teacher so I’m in the same boat as you.  

---

@proletariat9 same! I teach first grade. Being at home with my own 3 girls, it’s soooo hard to track and stay on track!  

Answer 30

I'm up 12 lbs since January. I'm feel so gross. Being a waitress I'm constantly moving and walking. sitting at home I'm just picking and eating

Answer 31

I’ve gained for sure  

Answer 32

You are absolutely not alone. I have put at least 10 #s back on. It’s hard but I’m not giving up.  

Answer 33

I have gained at least 10 lb. Prior to that I had been a little over my goal and was back to payin for my membership

Answer 34

Yes, it's getting really difficult lately.  

Answer 35

Gaining back most of what I lost. I need the discipline of going to the meeting.  

Comments

@pigling35871 me too

Answer 36

You are not the only one. I have done okay and haveheld pretty steady. I haven't lost weight but haven't gained either. I consider that a win. But you are not alone. We are going through a very difficult time. Be kind to yourself.  

Answer 37

Yes it's been very hard as well. Just sort of staying stable.  

Answer 38

It has been a challenge for me. I do try my best to follow the plan, but very frustrating when some of the grocery items are not available. Just exercise and track daily that is what I am trying to do through this crisis! Be safe, strong and healthy and together we will get through these tough times!  

Answer 39

I just started counting points today!  

Answer 40

Lots of people are struggling. I will benon for 4 days and fall off. Then back on. I keep on keeping on.  

Answer 41

You are not alone. I think everyone is one edge which increases the hormone cortisol to flood the body , making it harder to lose weight .  

Answer 42

Right there with ya! Between the stress, not being able to find veggies/fruit at the grocery store and having a hubby that likes to cook and bake.  

Answer 43

Very hard

Answer 44

I haven’t been doing well at all. Binging, eating sugar, pizza, junk food. I know it’s stress but I can’t stop

Answer 61

I've been lifetime for 20 years + and I'm having a hard time. I also retired the end on March, so I'm adjusting to that too. So far I've just gained 5 pounds, but I know how easy it is. Been walking about every day and that helps. So your not alone. Just get back on track, it works.

---

Two things I miss the most in this crazy time, is church and WW meetings.  

---

@symptomatic453 yes me too and I miss working since the schools are closed

---

@survive I am fortunate enough to work from home. But the bad thing of it is, easy access to food.  

---

I have two or three good days in a row and then--oops! Once I blow it, I always REALLY blow it. Sigh.  

---

@symptomatic453 yes. When I’m at school, I am busy and don’t think about food, but with being home all day I am bored and have easy access to food.  

Answer 66

Nope! So hard!  

Answer 67

The weekend was really hard for me but somehow I got back on track pretty quick. Not my usual pattern. I know I feel better when I do my eating activity right. I guess that helped me this time.
