The Covid pounds definitely suck.

I had the double-whammy of covid quarantine and I was unemployed for 8 months in 2020. Gained about 15# over that time; and this was on the heels of me losing 50# about a year prior.

I want to be 177, but I was pretty happy at 184-187, which is where I was before covid. I've managed to get back to about 187-189 within the last few weeks, so I'm close to getting back to where I was.

I still find it frustrating how losing a pound requires a full week of diligence with diet and exercise. But gaining a pound can be done in one Easter meal with family.

Now I know where my extra lbs came from, thanks for nothing. ** -- 7Hokie1 04/23/2021 3:34PM

All kidding aside, how tall are you? A target weight of 155 seems way low. -- MP4VT2004 04/23/2021 1:57PM

5-8. I've been 155 before, and it was a good weight for me when I was young -- Will Stewart

04/23/2021 2:23PM

Yeah, I think you are right. 155 just seems crazy low at 5'-8". -- MP4VT2004 04/23/2021 2:26PM

I'm not there yet, but I'm thinking 175 would look fit and trim -- Tafkam Hokie 04/23/2021 2:25PM

Well... -- vthokieq 04/23/2021 2:28PM

Haha, yeah...at 167 people told me I looked like I had cancer. ** -- MP4VT2004 04/23/2021 2:27PM
