It is reported (can't find the source now) that Israelis gained an average of 4 pounds during the quarantine.
Can we beat them?  ;D

I would've thought the disproportionate adverse effects of the virus on the obese would be a final motivation to lose weight. Ditto for smoking.

Actually lost weight, about 10 pounds. No temptation from outside food, no restaurants, no delicious shabbos meals at other peoples houses. My honest opinion, best time to lose weight and start eating healthy.

If this lockdown continues much longer, the buttons and buttonholes on my shirts will have to start practicing social distancing.

I lost like 3-5lbs since. But I lost a lot more before the lockdown, so maybe I don’t count.

Not a typo unfortunately. Usually do Eat a lot but burn a lot of calories. No gym. No outdoor activities (until recently) = disaster. Forget the covid wards, time to start beefing up the cardiac units in the hospitals....

While obesity is definitely a risk factor I don't think smoking is and some argue smokers may be better off. (full disclosure I don't smoke)

Gained about two pounds. No gym but I try to go jogging a couple of times a week. Was harder when Murphy closed all the parks.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

I'm sorry, but if you post about gaining 2 pounds, as if it is real weight gain, you just don't belong posting in a thread about actual weight gain.

Trying to keep the average down

BTW the Israelis had about 3 weeks to put on that weight we are at 8 weeks and counting
