Lockdown - Have You Gained Weight?

gmisk

I have lost 4kg in last 4/5 weeks.
It's grand during the day working from home and very busy so can avoid temptations.
Issue I when it gets to 8/9 o clock in evening but doing decent so far.
Also a lot of walks with the dog

Lost a bit of weight. For the first time in my life I've consistently maintained a cardio routine every single day. Never been able to do more than 2-3 runs per week in the past

It hasn't had too much impact on me losing weight though as I am eating more than usual out of boredom

Lost a bit....but was probably overweight going in,as was coming off hectic 12 months,when hadnt time to look after myself properly



Still on path to healthy,hopefully gyms will.open soon,though the 20KM extension will be great for cycling

5 stone gained , from ipas daily and heroin and then tabs , no exercise as people wearing mask's and avoiding me on street are freaking me out , they are very rude and not sure what way to deal with them

Gained about a stone but I'm back on track now. Back exercising 3/4 times a week, I tell myself i'm just going to exercise for 15 mins but once I actually start its easy to do at least 45 mins, it's the getting up off my ar*e in the first place that's the tricky part. I need to exercise in order to have the motivation for a good diet and I've missed the gym as a way of adding much needed variety into exercise.

Last 2 shops have been quite healthy. My issue is I always expect to see results in a months or 2 and when I only see a small improvement I give up rather then realising I was doing well and just need to be patient. My mate was supposed to get married this weekend and its rescheduled till this time next year so last sunday I set myself some goals and the timeframe is 1 year, ive never been consistent for a whole year but I reckon I can do this

Few KG gained due to laziness, too much drinking and eating out of boredom, neglection of exercise since gym closed due to lack of motivation. I don't mind though, nothing that can't be very easily reversed.

I've lost eight stone and I wasn't heavy to begin with.

I sincerely hope you meant LB there, or maybe KG, but hardly stone!?

Have a read of the rest of the post!

Gained weight initially with unending trips to the fridge and binge watching box sets. I got my ass in gear mid april and have lost 19lb since.

Starting a new exercise class to try and address this later today.

Will be initiating a healthy eating program at the end of the month when the kids go back to creche, it's impossible to be disciplined when your life is dependent on coffee and sugar.

Having lost 3 stone in the past year I managed to hold steady for most of lockdown. But up 4 lbs in the past fortnight having tried to increase my calories by 150 per day on advice of my doctor. Back to the lower limit I go.

All my usual training locked down - so I stepped up the training with my Jedi and with my partners - a lot more bruises than normal all around but it has kept things moving and the weight off. Running a bit more too.

Stepped up the meat consumption a lot and stepped down on the potatoes and rice and pasta.

I do want the old routines back though.

I don't weigh myself. I don't even own a scales.

I do know however that I did gain weight. I'd say towards the middle of May I was the heaviest I'd been for a while. I'm generally a size 10-12 and I'd say I went to a 12-14.

I've been off sugar since mid May. Chocolate, biscuits, cakes etc. I'd say I'm back to my pre-lockdown weight, or close to it now.

Causes of the gain, I would attribute mostly to Easter and my Birthday falling in April and also just letting myself go because my Summer Holiday plans went down the flusher.

Feeling a lot better now.

Quite the opposite. Started a new year's resolution in January to get to a healthy weight.
Im 6ft 2" guy and I weighed 96kg. I'm down to 79kg now. Still having treats, I have 1 takeaway a week usually on Saturday.
Just eating healthy and cut out 90% of snacks. On average i was losing 1kg a week or so.
While I was already pursuing weight before lockdown, I think the lockdown has actually helped me stay on track. No meeting up with mates to go drinking has definitely been the biggest help.

96kg for 6ft2 is not even fat. At 79kg you just look like a twig weakling to me.

What do you think the probability is of you and him being in a street fight?

Gained about 2 stone, i started to claw it back but then broke my ankle so i was right back to square one.

Im afraid to go out exercising now for fear i could hurt myself more.

I have lost 8lbs since the start of the lockdown. Have only been doing a 2 day week at work so a lot more time for exercise. But the best thing I have done for weight loss is cutting out gluten. My aim is to lose another 6lbs & I will be at my goal weight. I am delighted, haven’t been able to lose weight for years and years...

I started a drug which has improved my health massively. I started it in September and by November I noticed I started putting on weight, coupled with cocooning as well since this pandemic started because I'm in an at risk group and I've put on 35 pounds since November. I'm so grateful my health has improved so much but the weight gain is depressing as fcuk. I wasn't skinny to start with :P

Well done but I hate you a bit

Nah no gym, I'm just skinny now. Doing pull ups isn't enough. Been walking a lot tho

I have lost about 12 stone during lockdown.
I still weigh the same but the hubby moved out.

JP Liz V1

Yes up half a stone

bassy

simple answer is no.

I ‘look’ the same weight. I don’t have a scales at home so I can’t confirm. Used to weigh myself in the gym where a weight gain was... ‘ahhh that be the extra muscle’...

I’m snacking more, this I DO notice, think it’s a boredom thing... I’m exercising more though, bundles of time, energy, good weather... so hitting the park daily, maybe twice like today with the longer evenings it’s open till 9.pm which is brilliant. Got a good exercise bike , weights, resistance bands, a mat and one or two other gizmos so I’ve had no shortage of opportunity to keep improving my fitness, killing boredom, enjoying it and hopefully more fit, a decent healthy weight and healthy for it.

Have lost 9kg in the last 4 weeks the lock down snacking and knee surgery helped pile on the weight so happy enough

No. I've lost 3 pounds (converting back to imperial as Irish people tend to refer to height, weight, and quantities of alcohol consumed in those measurements). I'm 6' 2" and 194 lbs.

I don't think 'I'm headin out for a few 0.56826125 liters' will ever catch on.

cdeb

I'd love to head out for a few 0.56826125ls around about now

I'd far rather a pint alright, but beggars can't be choosers here!

If you're a healthy size then it's one less thing to worry about.

ronano

Not gained weight overall, probably 2/3 lbs down but tbh for the last month i've been trying to lose 1lb a week and i keep going up or down. My own fault, need to be stricter with calorie counting and go for walks

Daisy78

Down about 11 pounds, through calorie counting, no excercise.

PatrickSmithUS

Started a healthy eating plan today.

The change starts now. Want to lose at least 1.5 stone by the end of summer.

Granny Smyth

A google search on this led me here. Now my scales are telling me that I have put on about 12lbs. Bar a bit of a belly I dont see a huge difference though. Not nearly a stone diference!
Always been a size 10 though now I am a fat 10.
Just wondering if its a diet or an eye test I need?
Any diet advice welcome too.

I Am Nobody

I lost half a stone,don't know how or even where,but the scales tell me so.

Eat less calories than you use and you will lose weight. Calorie deficit.

Use an app like myfitnesspal to log everything you eat . Make sure you are in a deficit every day.
