Dear Valued Users,
It's with a heavy heart that we announce the permanent closure of StepTalk.org on August 31st, 2025.
This decision wasn't an easy one. For over twenty years, StepTalk has been a source of support for stepparents around the world! However, over the years, the costs associated with maintaining and upgrading the site to remain secure, meet current standards and maintain availability have become unsustainable.
We are incredibly grateful for your support, contributions and the community you've helped us build. Your engagement has made StepTalk.org a special place and we cherish the memories and connections made here.
We would especially like to thank Aniki for volunteering to be a moderator and for caring so much.
Thank you for being a part of our journey and we wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Dawn and The StepTalk Team

I put on some pounds too,
I put on some pounds too, though not 15 - it was in the first 3 months of our lockdown in the UK and everyone was stressed. Be kind to yourself, in time your stress will lower and you will find it easier to lose weight and eat healthily again - like I have done.
Somehow I lost weight.
Somehow I lost weight. Apparently I was going out to lunch too often and eating all the treats that show up at work!
I gained weight too. I've
I gained weight too. I've always struggled with my weight and was a little chunky going into quarantine.
For the past month I've focused on fresh fruits and veggies and cut out (most of) the junk food. I feel at lot better. And I've lost a whopping one pound.
I need to get more exercise.
I've remained the exact same
I've remained the exact same weight. But also started running to replace biking and I'm up to 4 miles 4 times a week. Interspersed with one bike day and yoga. I def snack much less and drink tons more water. Staying the same weight is baffling personally but we eat healthy, normal portions, moderate drink, cutting back would be very difficult!
