Chunky Story

 I sat yesterday and read through a piece related to the US military.....where a journalist had asked questions of people and developed a 'landscape'.  You see....during the Covid era (early 2020 to late 2022), it was near impossible to have a fitness work-out schedule and folks got 'chunky' (adding anywhere from 10 pounds to 30 pounds to their frame).

Because the exit-door is swinging so much....the services are grumbling but having to keep the chunky folks around (shocker for older vets who remember how aggressive the 'fat-patrol' were in the 1980s/1990s).

I remember in the fall of 2020....reading a commentary of a Air Force guy....noting the base gym would only allow a certain number of people in....during crappy weather, and he just gave up on the gym entirely.  

The one thing you don't read much of....if people went to lesser fitness....how much weight did folks gain in this period...on average?
