Have you gained weight during the quarantine so far?

I don't know how much I've gained, but I'm heading out to the truck scale to get a reading.

I’ve lost five pounds. I usually eat out daily and lift weights four times a week. This is eating into my gains bro

Fantastic.

No, I've been losing about 2 pounds a week. I think it's a combination of exercising more out of boredom and lack of access to junk food.

by Anonymousreply 9March 27, 2020 8:02 PM

Yes Op, probably about 5-7 lbs. i hoarded pop tarts in every flavor which is going to do me in. They come in packages with 2 a piece in each foil so I (convince myself that I) have to eat an even number.

Cooking more of my own food, so controlling the carbs and salt, so holding steady.

I have, but not much, as my bakery of choice was closed for a week during but not because of the quarantine.

I need to start on my whey shakes, as some of my clothes are either ripped or holey, and some others are tighter.

Tell me about it, OP. If this keeps up, I'm going to be obese. I'm "working" from home, but the connection is so bad it's frustrating, and the the fridge and the pantry keep beckoning while I'm waiting for something to load.

The only thing I've been good about is not drinking (alcohol) during the day.

Actually lost a little bit, but that's because I was sick with bronchitis.

I tried to weigh myself on the scale in my bedroom but the battery suddenly died. I think it was from shock.

Oh well, back to the mini chocolate croissants and apricot rugelach.

No--I'm losing weight, eking out my provisions so as to avoid going to the grocery store for another 2 weeks. One egg omelette, not two (for example).

I'm also using a Kleenex for 3 blows, instead of one.

I've stayed about steady already being on a diet in the first place. Not being able to go anywhere doesn't help but I still go for a long walk everyday and do some indoor exercising.

I've lost a couple of pounds. I'm walking daily and keeping my calories low.

Formerly I ate several meals or more out and now, not at all. I'd like to lose about 10 more pounds and plan to keep up this routine when the quarantine is over.

It’s been like that for almost everyone, OP.

I've gained 6 lbs. Although I've maintained my 18/6 IF schedule, the amount I'm eating during those 6 hours is out of control. Must.stop.

by Anonymousreply 33March 27, 2020 9:44 PM

Yes, only a couple pounds on the scale but my body is getting very soft. I was lifting 4 days a week until they closed the gym and I'm not very focused at home. I'm also drinking every day. Walking my dog is the most exercise I've gotten. Bought new running shoes but I haven't been a "runner" in over a year and just have no desire.

Losing by doing the 16:8 fasting method. I've been doing it for a month so far and have lost 11 lbs. Staying home is helping.

by Anonymousreply 35March 27, 2020 9:50 PM

Yeah, I’ve put on a few lbs. Like R19, I’ve got a nice bubble butt growing (and I wasn’t exactly lacking anyway). I didn’t notice until I put on my jocks the other day and I was spilling out of it. I took a few photos in the mirror, but the combination of ordering out and working from home and the gyms being closed, it’s only going to get worse.

I can't believe what I just did. I haven't had Pepperidge Farm frozen cake in like 15 years. I just bought a coconut cake (needed to buy some frozen vegetables and some produce, wore a mask/gloves and the place I went to had a limit on how many could go in at one time, plus the whole tape on the floor thing).

I ate half of it.

Fuck this quarantine!

I spend the better part of the day keeping myself from eating more, more and MORE! I'm miserable. I clean my apartment more and think of food. I even think of food when I'm cleaning the toilet. I watch TV and think of food. I stay on the computer and think of food. I go to sleep and wake up thinking of food. I'm so filled with anxiety and fear. You'd think those alone would kill my newly ferocious appetite and hunger.

Since you lose weight when you’re sick, I prefer to call it pre-Corona bulking and think of it as part of conscientious Corona prepping.

I’ve lost about five in two weeks of shelter in place. Moving less, eating less.

Funny, I just noticed tonight that I definitely have a soft belly, and my legs are feeling pretty soft. I work out 5 days a week and have replaced this with drinking at night and sleeping in. Then I make a big breakfast before I start working.

I finished the ice cream tonight and I only have a little bit of booze left, so I am going to get serious about not getting fatter. I also need to start rationing food so I don’t have to go shopping.

I usually have a big salad every day and often have one with dinner. Haven’t had salad in 2 weeks. Maybe I’ll pick up one from a restaurant.

I weigh myself at the gym so who knows when I can get on a scale again.

I’ve been self isolated for three weeks and expect to be for at least three more. Starting Sunday I will break these bad habits and try to undo the damage. Starting with getting up and getting dressed in real pants and a belt each day.

Pajama/lounge pants allow you to get fat.

On Ash Wednesday, February 26th, I stopped eating cookies, cakes, pies, candy, chocolate and ice cream, with my annual plan to eat sugar all day on Easter Sunday.

My Easter Brunch usually consists Peeps, chocolate eggs, jelly beans, expensive box of fine dark chocolate, bakery.

Let's just say I started my Easter Brunch early. Also I just polished off a carton of Papa Murphy's Pizza Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough.

I feel hungry.

I'm a pound or two overweight in the few days since quarantine. I don't how people on DL can handle being as obese as they are all the time.

by Anonymousreply 51March 28, 2020 5:56 AM

no, I was overweight and started losing weight last summer and didnt feel well, cardivascular issues. I was nauseated for weeks and light headed etc and lost more weight and didnt go to the dr. I also switched to plant based diet. Anyway I had a stress test and other tests in oct and had dropped 35 lbs by that point and was at an ideal wt for my ht. I passed the test and the xray showed one artery somewhat clogged. But since I had lost so much wt and had been going to the gym and was able to run on the treadmill at the gym and the stress test was normal I didnt have to do anything, no stent.

My health depended on diet and cardiologist wanted me at gym 6 days a week and doing cardio. Which I have done. The hardest thing with all this re coronavirus is the gym is closed of course and I stopped going about a week before out of fear. Ive been walking and doing pushups and sits at home but it isnt the same. I had really been limiting my calories and it has been harder and I weighed myself a week ago and hadnt put on any wt, but Ive been super bored the last 3 or 4 days. Im eating more but nothing I shouldnt.......... just more of what I always eat now................ So no, havent really gained any wt but it is a struggle constantly and I have food issues so its complicated.

by Anonymousreply 52March 28, 2020 6:05 AM

Lost several kilo. Since I've been under government-mandated house arrest, I make it a point to go out and hike around every day for an hour. Especially since I live in a town in the middle of a forest, and the formerly nocturnal animals now come out and forage during the day. There's nothing that lifts the spirits more than seeing a deer or a couple of wild pigs walking down the street or chowing down on the fallen fruit from the tree in someone's garden.

Funny I know most people eat more when they go out but I almost always eat less, because the atmosphere makes me eat slower, I’m talking with whoever I’m with, and there’s less focus on the food. I also wasn’t depressed af.

Plus my gym is closed and I don’t have a any kind of good regimen in its place.

Lost a little. That may change.

I haven't worked up the nerve to weigh myself, but I feel like I've gained a little bit. I'm trying very hard to maintain a decent diet but of course choices are limited right now and the gyms are closed. All I can do is take walks but that's not the same as using the machines at the gym. And I'm not drinking alcohol so at least those calories aren't a problem at the moment. Like others have said, sitting at home all the time is boring and you just want to stuff your face, and fighting those impulses takes some effort.

I'm afraid we're all going to look like shit when this is over.
