The YMCA requires a mask when working out. Try an hour of cardio with a mask on.

Somebody ping that guy that runs the anti-FluBro and FluBra thread. Couple this with the rise of suicide and alcohol and drug related deaths and he’s got some’splainin’to do.

I sure didn’t.

The stress of having people LIE right to my face has put me off my feed.

I have to keep hiking my jeans up all the time because they’re too big, now.

That is why I either walk outside, use my elliptical, or swim.

Me too.

I can’t exercise too much or I might slip down the drain.

I am down a few pounds myself and slowly losing more.

Let’s remember that the governments of some states prevented its citizens from buying gardening supplies that would allow people to grow vegetables (and be active gardening!)

I get the impression that people went out a got themselves whole bunches of snack foods when this thing started and hunkered down with Netflix. That was fine for a week or two, but a lot people never moved past that.

I work retail. You don't realize how fat people are until a thin person shows up and they look bizarre.

I hear ya.

laugh if you will but I just got a pair of kids’ suspenders at Hobby Lobby to hold up my drawers.

Gonna wear them under my shirts to see if it helps.

Every 15 steps of so, I have to stop and yank them back up.

Been wearing the same two pairs of jeans this whole time because they’re size 3 and the smallest I’ve got.

On the upside, I don’t have to unzip them to put them off or on.

:(

I have just continued with my lowered my carb intake and dropped another 10 pounds in the last year.
I did pickle my brain with Tequila though.
Sauza is my favorite...and itโ€™s cheap.

I knew it! I've always suspected I was one of those first people to get the covid before it became known as covid-19 and this confirms it.

'Cept I apparently caught it about 27 years ago. Right after I got married.
