Current Events > Gaining weight in lockdown is not something I can relate to

(+) Yeah! (+)

You literally had all day every day to work out and meal prep

How did so many people blow this opportunity?

---

For me personally, I just don't get hungry at work. I eat a small lunch and I'm fine. If I'm home, I want to eat damn day.

---

And couldnt even go dining out.

I didnt work out and actually lost weight, but it was all muscle loss (not that I had much)

im unmotivated to work out if not at gym, I lift weights and dont have a home gym or space for one

i did cook more out of shear boredom but hated it

when I don't stay disciplined I lose weight and muscle, so I can understand people having the inverse problem due to lack of resources and motivation.

Pretty sure I lost some weight since I didn't go out as much

I also started walking more, especially during the summer

We never locked down hard enough here that we had to WFH since we mostly locked down at the borders instead

having said that, gym equipment is expensive and takes up a lot of room and you cant get your preferred equipment in a lot of places so its understandable that the majority of people dont have home gyms. Eating is easy

Same
I was lucky enough to already have equipment and just worked out for like 5 hours a day. It was the best shape I had been in my life. What I had expected to be three weeks became a couple months. Also had a friend that was similarly motivated so we'd just video call during it so it wasn't boring

Pushups, pullups, and running are free

I lost 20lbs

drinking alone is boring so I stopped drinking and I also took an interest in cooking so my meals were all like 30% of the calories they would have been if Id eaten out

if youre a lazy unmotivated person, the pandemic changes nothing even during a lockdown.
