Since COVID-19 started and lockdowns/WFG started happening, have you lost or gained weight? Why do you think that is?
I'm curious as to what's changed for people in terms of their size during COVID-19. I think it's probably different for everyone and I'd like to hear how things have been for you guys. Personally, I've stayed about the same as I have more responsibilities than I did before so everything has evened out roughly re time/stress.
With the restriction easing been going out for longer walks
When I had to work from home for about 2 months I had time to go for a nice walk every day - it was winter so dark in morning and evening but at home can go for a walk at lunch. So lost a little weight.
I would say i have put on weight due to no gym and WFH thus less physical activity
I would also say been snacking a hell of a lot more
Have been going for walks and doing my little home gym as much as i could but i would have to say i have gained weight
Also im not much of a drinker but during COVID i will have i have been drinking a fair bit of Alcohol which probably doesnt help….
Username checks out.
I've porked up a little bit from covid from snacking too! A good diet is the most important, exercise helps but not too much :(
Yea it is diet but i feel being out of routine has made a 'good' diet hard also boredom doesnt help with the snacking…
Lost a lot of weight:
Nice. what are your IF eating hours and what sort of exercise do you do after dinner?
My feeding time is 12pm-8pm. I started with really light exercise such as 5 x 20 own-body weight squats, nothing too crazy but enough to keep my heart beat a little higher than normal for at least 20 minutes.
Lately I have been following this. I have not been able to complete more than 2 sets so far. Lost close to 10kgs now, with snacking in between meals, ice cream after dinner…all the indulgence I couldn't have before!!
Wait so you still snack but lost weight?
@Flowerbomb: Yes that's right. I didn't snack before and no ice cream/dessert after dinner. Now I do but it doesn't seem to affect the weight loss.
Edit: Just want to add that any diet/exercise is useless unless you stick to it for the rest of your life (or most of the time). Given how easy it has been to do this 16:8 aka intermittent fasting diet + light exercise here and there, I could probably stick to it for a really long time.
I've gone down a notch on my belt but I look as fat as ever. I think I stretched my belt out.
I've had some other changes in my life concurrently, but between around March and September I lost about 5 kgs. My diet stayed roughly the same, stopped going to the gym but started riding my bike more (50-100km/week avg). Not sure if the weight was fat or muscle mass, I assume mostly fat.
When I was working in a CDB office I barely did any walking. Drove to the traino, walked from CBD traino to work, reversed at night.
No change. It's pretty much been business as usual here.
Put on 10 kegs
My limited steps per day correlate to the distance from my desk to my fridge and pantry…
