yeah I call BS on weight gain AVERAGING 29 lbs. that's insane. 

also, that is the average among those who reported weight gains. so you're already isolating less than half the population. 

still, 29 lbs on average sounds like some BS to me.

College freshmen gain like 30 pounds when going to school. That’s with a peak metabolism and being forced to walk everywhere.

Now take all the older people in the country and lock them inside with nothing to do but eat. 
 

Basically, anyone with self discipline probably kept the weight off, some people like our dear Vikas found themselves with some extra time and picked up an exercise hobby, everyone else just magnified their sloth.

Hey now, I was working out like a maniac pre-COVID! Weighed 130 going into COVID, 130 now. Body fat lower, however.

Got my new Peloton today and can't wait to get home and ride it...I hate myself.

Who has body fat at 130 lbs!? Geez Louise vikas, I could kick your arse!  Or you could hire me to be your body guard, maybe that's better. LOL

Seems to me the college weight is due to having access to the student dining rooms more than anything. 
 

My covid weight was all booze. After I went back to work I got a new found appreciation for General Grant when he was bored. Not being on the offensive is offensive to the mind.

Fair enough. Hadn’t heard you talk it up until Covid.

I’ve heard good things from friends, but I  usually just go running outdoors for cardio. Will probably have to go with a bike soon so my knees don’t get too messed up.

Actually, that prompted me to look it up.

I'm short too and right around the 27.  I could lose some.  Thanks for posting that

Perfect!  In a couple of years I can identify as a woman and be normal.

I get shin splints from running, and in my 40s I want to save my knees. Bought an elliptical years ago, but started actually using it in 2015. In 2018 the wife asked for a Peloton for Christmas (pre "I'm so nervous" commercial"). She used it maybe 10 times, then stopped, so I started in order to get my money's worth. Got hooked.

Started with a nutritionist in late 2019 -- weight was already down to 125-130, but wanted to eat healthier as well. He is a former pro cyclist, and he got me to ditch the elliptical and just do the Peloton 6 days a week. There is a guy on there who is a pro and trains pro riders, and his classes are perfect for me. I highly recommend you try it.

I think for them, like you, it’s alcohol. Specifically beer. If you drink 10 beers in a day you’re basically gaining a full pound of fat.

I put on about 5 pounds in the last year, 190 to 195. Don’t have a way to measure body fat though. I try to lift 3-4 times per week, so maybe (hopefully) 3 pounds of fat gain.

Unless you're a highly motivated runner it's tough to get as good a workout from jogging/biking yourself compared to something like a good spin class. I always prefer to run outside and try to be good about throwing in some intervals and hills etc, but from a pure calories burned and HR range relative to time POV it's just not on the same level as the peleton. FWIW.

FWIW.

I do about 4 miles, nice incline for about half of it. Mostly I just enjoy being outdoors and listening to a book on tape or podcast.

I don’t really need to lose weight though. Mostly it’s just maintenance. If I start getting too close to 200 I just cut out cheat meals or, god forbid things get really bad around the belly, alcohol. That usually does the trick after a month or two.

Like I said though, I know it’s bad for my knees, so I’ll have to make the switch at some point.

BMI is a terrible measure. It’s all about body fat. As long as you’re not carrying a bunch of extra fat, weight doesn’t really matter.
