In October of 2022, I weighed 185 yesterday. I weighed 141.2, I try to eat but sometimes, food has no/or bitter taste. I love to cook and sometimes I can't stand the smell of the food cooking.

I've tried to lose weight for over a year and the number on the scale never moves. I'm 40 lbs overweight and have tried all kinds of diets and exercise and nothing works. I eat whatever I want and don't exercise for several months and then watch what I eat and exercise hard (aerobic and weight lifting) for several months and nothing changes. Very frustating.

Well I am the other way around, earlier I lost weight but when covid started and I stayed in a lot more I have gained weight, not eating any different than before and I figure less but not going out is a big part of it I think...

I use Ensure and Boost, just don't feel hungry very often. Popcorn is a good snack. Sure wish I could gain - now about 70 lbs. Sucks!!

You have the same problems that both my baby sisters. They took after their daddy. That man could eat big time & never gain an ounce. I took after my mommas & daddy's family. I just look at food & I gain a pound. I told my sisters that I would gladly cut of my belly fat & give it to them if I could. When they died, neither one weighed over 70 lbs. They look like those African people they put on TV asking for money. It's flat scarey. I have to ask this one question. What difference does it make if your veins get a little clogged? It takes a long time to do that anyway. I have 2 pictures of my baby sister. 1 of her when she was thin but not too bad. 1 is of my sister about 1 hour before she died. I couldn't go be with her & she was asking for me. So they put us on video call. Don't put your kids through that IF there is anything you can do to keep a little fat on those bones.
She had COPD also.

Gaining weight has always been a mission for me - have never been able to gain it when I want it. And lately with new stresses and running around after a 15month grandchild, that lives with us, I've managed to lose 3-4 kilos, that I just can't afford to lose. I think I eat well enough, but maybe just not enough. All very well eating junk food, but it doesn't do your arteries any good. I maybe thin, but my cholesterol isn't perfect!
