To ask how much weight you have put on since lockdown began?

[QueenCally]

I’m at a grand total of 5 pounds!

Anyone else finding they’re gaining weight?

I've lost 5 pounds but I've been VERY disciplined (most of the time) re. eating. I could quite easily eat my way through lockdown but I've worked so hard in the gym for the last 2 years that I don't want to ruin all that hard work. Pre-social distancing/lockdown, I was dating the most wonderful (and gorgeous) younger man from my gym. We have more dates planned for when this is over so I need to stay disciplined. No matter how much I'm tempted to eat cake. And more cake. I'm doing a LOT LESS exercise than usual so the only way for me to maintain is to restrict calories (which is a miserable way to live).

I need to get back to having mealtimes instead of eating the whole time I'm awake.

This made me laugh. It's how I feel too. By 11am every day I'm ready for lunch. And start thinking about dinner immediately after.

Lost a couple pounds.

I'm starting piriton tomorrow too!

God, I daren't weigh myself. Trousers tighter, was obese to start with. So unhappy.

@pinkstar01 I'm starting with strawberry as I hate anything flavoured strawberry - but love strawberries. Going to add half a banana to make it more palatable. I bought the taster pack to see which one I prefer good luck!!! Let's hope it works.

I lost 2lb in the first week because I wasn't 'prepared'. No junk in the house at all. 2nd week, Easter came with all of it's chocolate and hot cross loveliness, plus I went shopping and got ALL the good stuff and I put on 4lb. 🙄

Not sure I don’t want to know

It’s not so much at home it’s more at work. We are all comfort eating biscuits and colleagues are bringing in cakes

Have been better this past week

I’m crisped out didn’t think that would ever happen

I've lost weight, am never off the trampoline and if I am I'm gardening!

HOW HOW HOW are some of you doing more exercise than before???

I used to be in the gym 4-5 days a week, burning 1000+ each time. Now all I'm doing is a daily HIIT workout plus 15 mins squats and barely getting past 3000 steps.

I'm stuck in for 12 weeks so can't go for walks or cycle rides and am climbing the walls at now being able to get on the treadmill, stepper and stairmaster 😞

The new life!

Turbo is the answer

HOW HOW HOW are some of you doing more exercise than before???

I'm guessing people who did minimal exercise before are able to do more now. Loads of people have started couch to 5k, or Joe Wicks, for example - which is brilliant.

But on the flip side, people I know who did a lot of exercise before are now climbing the walls.
I used to run 50ish miles a week, plus a cycle commute and gym. Now there's no cycle commute, barely any running, and only bodyweight HIIT stuff to make up for the weights sessions I used to do. It's extremely frustrating.

@MrsJBaptiste you’ve answered your own question ,surely? Not everyone has to stay in for 12 weeks , lots of us can still go out to exercise once a day as well as at home .

Yeah, I suppose I have really!

I just don't think that even if I could get out at the moment I'd be doing anything like I was but I suppose there a lot of people who are using this lockdown to try and get fit 👍

Lost 21 kilos. 5 kilos before COVID and the rest during/after...

@RogueSymphonies do you mean since lockdown? That doesn't sound healthy. re you ok?

I got on the scales today. Around 6 lb. Seriously need to sort out my eating

@amijustparanoidorjuststoned

I think I've had the virus too. I could only stomach dry toast, crisps and cereal without milk. Also lost my sense of taste and smell. Temperature, cough, some breathlessness, dreadful fatigue

Staying the same. More wine is offset by less snacks from the office biscuit tin, and a 3 mile walk every day. Previously I just sat at my desk and didn’t do any exercise at all.

What I’ve gained in not walking (used to do 4-5 miles per day) I think I’ve burnt off through stress, so I’ve stayed about the same. We don’t have scales at home though, so I’ve no idea really!

I lost half a stone the week before lockdown because of stress. Then put it back on. It needs to go away again plus more.

I too have lost 5 lbs through stress.. not a good look as i was bordering on underweight before lockdown. I now look gaunt.

I think I've gained 2 pounds. I'm trying to put on weight though, hoping to gain a stone at least. Is there an ideal time of day to weigh yourself for an accurate reading? My weight is different depending on the time of day and I'm never sure which to go by, I've realised it fluctuates quite a lot.

None gained, none lost. Massive scoffing but a shit ton of YouTube HIIT videos with the DC.
