  • Been doing more exercise in the past three weeks than has been usual for me in the past three years.

    Diet has remained similar to before coronacrisis. Aftet ten days it appeared I had shed 4 pounds. Now my weight has returned to where it was at the beginning.

    I’d expect this if I had been doing high intensity work, but I have only been doing build phase TrainerRoad workouts and a bit of gardening in addition to my normal log splitting and yoga.

  • You must be the only person to have lost weight in lockdown!

    I'm finding it relatively easy to lose weight:-

    • Have stopped all cycling and swimming (obviously) but...
    • Running three times a week, hour long walk on the other days
    • Fitness challenges (100 pushup challenge, core strength, leg blasters, etc)
    • Being careful with portion control (easier to do when eating with family rather than eating alone)
    • No pub nights (used to be two 6+ pint evenings a week) and so beer calories have decreased
    • No junk food (11.30pm fast food at Waterloo Station after pub, or tasty but fatty curries or pasties and chips from the office restaurant) - cooking mostly healthy meals at home and a weekly treat of fish and chips once a week
    • Eating meals at regular times (since I've in the house with wife and daughter and they, apparently, need feeding)
    • Better (and more consistent) hydration

    2.5kg down since my lockdown began (Friday 19th March). Only another 19kg to go.

  • 2,5kg down as well for me. Daily one hour blast on the turbo, different diet compared to the office (canteen is simply too good to resist) makes the difference for me.

    I have also been doing more exercise recently than for quite a while (TrainerRoad) and I've lost 1.3kg so far. I'm pretty skinny normally but had got very unfit for me and put on about an extra 3 or 4kg.
