I never cared what I weighed until I started getting fat during the lockdown because I wasn't biking to work anymore. Now I make sure to ride my bike each day, do three short workouts with weights each day, and I've started counting calories just to see.
I'm stronger for sure, but I still have the extra weight.
I gain 15 pounds every winter and lose it every summer/spring. I really can't do much cardio as my knees and hips (at age 40) are a trainwreck. So during the cold winter, I don't get much exercise. Lift weights or do pushups/pullups to give yourself maybe 10 extra pounds of muscle. And walk 2 miles a day. That's all I need. I don't diet at all. I try to eat well, but I never restrict my calorie intake. One thing I do recommend is completely eliminate added sugar to your diet outside of the occasional dessert.
Fast forward a decade later, two kids, stressful work and somehow managed to get up to 242lbs.
I’m very motivated to get down to the 200lbs range following a similar diet and exercise routine.
I have seen a lot of people have good results from Time Restricted Eating. Basically skipping one meal, but you get some of the metabolic benefits of fasting.
How much weight did u gain in lockdown
On the food you may have the urge to complain about prices.
Fasting is awesome if you can do it.

Now I'm really enjoying a moderately strenuous bike ride each morning. That's been only for the last two weeks. The weights have been the whole year, and I'm happy with the muscle gains from that, but it's not so great for weight loss.
I used to run a lot, like 4 times per week and up to 15 miles on the weekend, but I'm pretty sure this has damaged my knees. So it's biking for me now.

I’d like to add that losing significant amount of weight (I.e. 15% of you disappearing) is a bit of a spiritual journey.
I should add that I’ve experienced a range growing in adulthood. I’ve had points in my life where I was body building and could have been on the cover of Men’s Health. And I’ve had points in my life (now) where I’ve allowed a poor lifestyle to creep in resulting in 30 or 40lbs of excess weight to settle in...

This.
I have been doing Intermittent Fasting for nearly 2 years and lost (and kept off) over 30 pounds. I'm 6'2" and went from 220 down to 185.
I have always done a fair amount of exercise (surf and running) but have never dieted. Too many IPA's started packing on the pounds. I have found that intermittent fasting is the easiest thing in the world to do. All I do is skip breakfast and nurse a thermos of black coffee in the morning and am not hungry until 1 or 2 in the afternoon. So I only eat between 1-9PM.....basically anything I can fit in my pie-hole in my feeding window. I generally eat sensibly, but I don't deny myself any tasty stuff like pizza, carbs and beer when I want them. I have an ice cr...
Hi guys, has anyone here gone on any weight loss journeys? Would love to hear what routine you followed and what worked for you.
Would be interested in hearing any weight loss stories, what worked for you, etc.

About a decade ago I dropped down from 225lbs to 187lbs. It took 4 months. I was following a strict diet of about 1800 calories per day and it took about 20wks to pull off (2lbs per week). I was running, swimming, weight training daily.
I kept it off for several years. Looked and felt great.
