How's the weight?

[Gunk]

I’m not eating any more but definitely drinking more than usual, but I’m about 3lbs down on weight, mainly due to lots of work in the garden and much more cycling.

Lost 5lb in last 2weeks. 1500 kcal per day food. Cycling 60 miles per week and walking 20. That’s it.

About 18 stone 10, so maintaining a steady weight on a diet of scotch and Marmite crisps.

Not due to lockdown, but I've lost 15lbs in 5 weeks on the keto diet. It does help at home though, I'm eating a lot of fat and protein so I'm not hungry between meals. I do miss Ale and Cider though. In the office I'd get bored or restless so I'd eat. At home I'll go and do 10 minutes of housework instead

Lost 2kgs since lockdown (4wks here) so on target for 500grm p/wk. I think that step 1 was the easy part, now it's going to get tough

Cracking out the sawdust and dried fruit for this weeks breakfasts

So far it's been mainly down to an increase in exercise and not much change in food intake, this has to change

I just do not understand this obsession with weight . What are folks implying by reporting that they have lost or gained weight. Muscle weighs more than fat so when l rowed competitively in a four l weighed 11 stones but if l weighed the same now l would be a fat b'stard !

Losing it slowly, Lack of beer,

Getting steadily and officially fat on too much fuzzy feels booze, comfort inducing pastry based dinners, and chocolate. I think I'm probably up by a good couple of kilos but I'll worry about that soon....ish.

Indeed, about 17-18% heavier by volume. If I stop lifting I drop to about 16, but ive iron on my mind at the best if times, never mind when stuck at home with a well equipped gym and nothing else to do.

You do really, but you are trying to make a point about body composition!

What are folks implying by reporting that they have lost or gained weight.

Same point again... They are clearly trying to lose that loose, flabby stuff from their bodies, not trying to have their muscles waste away.

Muscle weighs more than fat...

Actually, it doesn't! 1 kg of muscle weighs 1 kg and 1 kg of fat weighs... 1kg! Muscle is denser than fat, yes.

It is quite simple... Strip off and stand in front of a full length mirror. Tense your muscles and jump up and down. Apart from the obvious bits (breasts for women, genitals for men) anything that wobbles is what someone trying to lose weight is trying to lose!

I've been having a few beers during lockdown,even tho I'm going to work it's been nice at the weekend.

I can’t see anyone one here obsessing about it. Just factual posts and that’s it. Doesn’t smack of obsession.

Not bad considering. I've only put on a pound in the last 3 weeks of much less cycling and cycle commuting activity

That’s pretty good!
