Lockdown weight gain shock....

[Muddywellies]

So this morning I got on the scales for the first time since March. I actually had to bend down to check the numbers as I couldn't believe what it was saying. Its STONE heavier than I was expecting to see, meaning I've put on a good stone and a half during lockdown. Im feeling shocked and pretty appalled at myself at the moment. Age isn't on my side, and working from home on a laptop is really messing things up for me, but my God do I need to sort this out. Time for some drastic lifestyle changes......

I'm with you - I braved the bloody things on Sat and have put on a stone. Action is definitely required..

You're not alone! I put on 5 kg during lockdown....I'm blaming the sourdough bread baking trend

I'm another with extra weight since lock down. About 4 kgs so half a stone but its all in one place around my middle! I have tried working on the eat less move more theory but it just seems to work out to be move more and eat more!!! It is soo much harder when you are old.

Yep. Post 40 and the weight just won't shift. I used to be able to lose weight with a bit of discipline, but now, it's just going one way. It doesn't help that weight watchers meetings still haven't re-started (will they ever??????) as I used to rely on my WW meetings to keep me on track. I've re joined the gym and a half hour workout this morning apparently burnt 150 calories. Was it worth it?? Oh what I'd give for a high metabolism.

Ive lost weight (dont need to) but no eating out meant I had to eat my own cooking......

Yep I stood on the scales this morning and quickly jumped off them, new diet starts today!

I pur on a stone too. I have nearly lost it again but it's so much harder to lose than pur it on!

I feel better those eating more healthily.

Haven’t ventured into the scales but I know ive packed on the pounds ?. Rider fitness instructor has just moved to a place on the yard so I really have no excuse now!

I put on half a stone in the first part of lockdown, but then when the school holidays started (I work in a school) I joined Noom and have lost almost a stone since.

I am early 50s, weight doesn't come off easily, but the app has helped.
