Anyone losing weight during the quarantine?

[entremet]

I've lost weight surprisingly. Not intentionally lol. I was fine with my current weight pre-quarantine. I usually try to eat whole foods, even when I eat out, but I'm not eating out at all, nor ordering in. But back when things were normal I was a big fast-casual person--mostly in the form of grain/rice bowls for lunch. So a protein, rice/grains, nuts or avocado, and some veggies. Very clean style of eating. I ate dinner at home. Weekends I ate out, but only really did one very high-calorie meal every two weeks--burgers, pizza, or restaurant.

I usually calorie count to stay on track, so I know restaurant food is very hard to measure--you never know how much oil they use and so on. I'm also walking way less obviously, so I'm not hungry. I get full faster. Seems like the lower energy needs have caused this.

I try to focus on resistance training in general, so I'm doing bodyweight stuff and some kettlebell swings. But no cardio at the moment as I like cycling and swimming. The latter impossible rn.

I was dieting before quarantine, but it definitely makes it easier to stay on track

 

[mjc]

Lol no

 

[Reversed]

A minor weight loss there but what matters is that I'm eating more healthily

 

[Zutrax]

The opposite, I'm scared to get groceries so I've been ordering take out every day. And I literally don't move at all much these days besides to go to the bathroom and my bed.

It's kind of a problem.

 

[Wood Man]

My wife said I looked a little slimier today. We haven't been eating out much. Maybe that's why.

 

[ReAxion]

yep

 

[Wariobenotware]

The opposite here. Being at home constantly with little activity and snaking mostly out of boredom makes it really easy to gain weight.

 

[Avitus]

Yeah. Now is the time to cut. Hardly eating out so it's easier to track calories.

 

[Brazil]

Yes, but only because I don't have a gym at home and so I can't lift properly :/

 

[Addi]

A bit. I eat less junk food and started running again. I need to cut down on beers though, I normally dance at clubs on weekends, but now I just sit and drink in front of my computer....

 

[EternalDarko]

What, completely opposite. I used to walk around so much in a normal work day, even if it was just from meeting to meeting or across the road to the next building.
Now I'm stuck at home in front of my laptop and not getting anywhere near enough exercise. I'm afraid to check how much weight I've put on...

 

[BobLoblaw]

Modestly, but I'm lifting almost everyday since I don't have anything else to do. I'm getting swole AF.

 

[Squarehard]

I've been static.

 

[Duane]

Yeah, I've lost about 10 pounds, which is nuts because I'm pretty sedentary, but I eat out ALL the time at work, and since I've been home I've just been making simple sandwiches and frozen vegetables out of freezer bags (which I've always liked a lot), and it's unreal how dramatically different I feel.

 

[Seirith]

Yes, because I got sick 2 weeks ago and since then I have had no appetite.

 

[teruterubozu]

Ran out of weed so my munchies went out the window so lost some weight. Probably a good idea to clear my lungs during this pandemic anyway.

 

[Tiny Hawk]

Yep. I was already calorie counting before this whole thing started, so nothing's really changed. It's much easier to count as I'm not really eating out as much anymore (though I am missing it). I never really worked out or bothered doing any physical activity, but not going outside has kind of made me go a bit mad, so I just walk around my neighborhood after I work for the day.

 

[MrS]

Beer and junk food have put paid to that, unfortunately.

 

[Deleted member 29280]

I've lost 6 pounds in the last couple months. Staying inside has forced me to do a lot more cooking for myself and I'm lucky enough to have a nice trail nearby I can drive to and do a lot of walking/jogging without putting myself at risk.

 

[entremet]

One thing as well, no office snacks or pizza parties either lol. We would get pizza frequently at our colocation.

 

[Forerunner]

Gaining weight. I've been working out twice a day.

 

[¡ B 0 0 P !]

I've lost a little bit of weight. I've gone from 120 to 115 pounds. All thanks to the insane amount of running I've been doing (830 km). But it has little to do with any quarantine as I still have to work at my two jobs. It's more of a New Year's resolution to try to run every day. Though the fact that I can't hang out with friends or go to the movies makes it easier to accomplish my goal.

 

[Maximo]

I always cook my own food for the day so really im gaining weight...despite how active I have been.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

I was absolutely "stress dieting" for a couple of weeks. I could not relate to all the getting-fat-in-quarantine jokes, I had no appetite.

The all-consuming anxiety abated enough that I've been eating relatively normally now, although it's a lot of not-great food overall and I think I'm still eating a bit less than usual (but probably gaining weight).

 

[Deleted member 11796]

I haven't eaten fast food for nearly six weeks.

But I think any weight loss has been canceled out by how much I've just been sitting in the house. Also my addiction to peanut M&Ms.

 

[finalflame]

You know it. Down something like 20lbs. Honestly, I've been mega focused on fitness and weightloss since before this whole thing went down and I hate losing progress, so I am not going to use it as an excuse to slack. If anything, the lack of going out and drinking and not having easy office food has made it even easier to stay on track.

 

[Doomed]

The opposite for me, don't have the gym and can't find the energy to workout at home. I've probably gained a few pounds already with eating too much and drinking.

I don't have a car so I can't use the drive thrus so I'm all out of luck when it comes to eating fast food. Though I guess that's a good thing.

 

[SABO.]

I was, but then I decided it would be a good idea to pick back up on my marijuana habit.

 

[Froli]

With the current Pandemic, Isn't it the best time to lose some pounds and go after that healthy normal weight?

 

[DPT120]

No, I'm gaining weight even though I'm working out.

 

[Deleted member 61909]

I was dieting before quarantine, but it definitely makes it easier to stay on track

Click to shrink...

definitely.

Lost 6 pounds so far. been in quarantine for a month thus far.

 

[entremet]

Click to shrink...

Definitely. COVID-19's top comorbidities are obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure. However, many ppl are stuck at home and not as active. Also, gyms are closed. Not that you need a gym to be fit, but it could mess with people that are used that routine.

 

[Malo]

I was on a diet before quarantine and have lost about 20lbs during it.

 

[Deleted member 179]

Yep, I'm now down to as much as Saquon Barkley. I like comparing myself to NFL RBs because they're completely shredded and it makes me feel better

 

[pillowtalk]

I wish. Ingredients for my usual diet is harder to find and I just don't have the energy to look around or experiment with new things while I'm still going to work.

 

[Strike]

Nah, I feel like I might've gained weight.

 

[Deleted member 12129]

2 lbs so far

 

[Deleted member 19070]

More like gaining here. Also have had a persistent stress/anxiety headache every other day and itchiness in throat from seasonal allergies I JUST started experiencing this year.

 

[Sulik2]

Ive lost about five pounds. Not eating out definitely makes a difference.

 

[Painguy]

Lost 3lbs. 130lbs. Not having access to boba helps

 

[Deleted member 30681]

down about 8 pounds since the start of March. With Ramadan in about 4 days I'm looking forward to losing at least another 10. Been difficult to keep it up because of stress and anxiety from this whole thing, but I'm keeping at it.

Yeah the change in routine will take some time to get used to. It affected me mentally that I couldn't do my brisk walks outside the house.

 

[AlexBasch]

I only eat like, two times a day, so I'll see how this will have an impact on my weight and body. I rarely feel hungry these days.

 

[Clear]

Dropping weight and up'ing my running miles. We do all curb side shopping so i can't just grab random snacking items so a lot easier to keep calories in check. If I'm feeling weak I make my wife make the order so I dont start adding mike and ike and gummi bears to every order.

Seeing my vacations and races were cancelled, setting a body fat % goal is my big aim during lock down.

 

[JorSneezy]

I'm lost about 9lbs. I already worked out regularly, but with wife and kid home I've been pushing them to exercise as well. So I do my normal exercise and then do their workouts with them. Like two total hours a day.

 

[Ashodin]

been eating a lot less junk food and also calorie counting + Ring Fit (100 days passed).

Down 15 lbs (64kg)

 

[NippleViking]

Losing weight, but it's mostly muscle sadly :/

 

[OrangeNova]

Losing a bit of weight, mostly from eating better and less snacks.
