Everyone round here is being very supportive, I put my bins out at 8pm the other night and got a round of applause.

I'd just started back at the gym after having a rollocking from the quack and hitting just shy of 16st again. I got back down to 15.8 when the world shut its doors. I will resume once were open for business again.Nice work !!
I went back to the gym when i hit 15 stone must be doing something wrong as im now 15.10 WTF!!
They weighed me at hospital last week thats alot of weight for 5'6"
Thing is never felt fitter hit weight lifting again after years off, funny how the body's musle memory works.
Im three months in to sports therapy and massage has been a learning curve with damage to my rota cuffs and the fear after the torn bicep but all moves well now.
I was gutted the gym had shut so much so i brought everything for home to carry on, when it becomes a lifesfyle you feel robbed if you don't get to go.
Diet changed im dropping weight well., my frame is to big to get to ideal weight without looking ill but i settle for a stone off
I have the exact same problem with the wife and the feeder issues Ant though after many conversations we do appear to be getting somewhere. I'm only eating for three nowSame kind of boat as me mate i hit 48 this year and i average about 10-15k steps aday. Leave yhe van at home and now cycle.
My wife tends to be a feederShe cooks for 4 eats a child portion and gives me a mountain !If i stop eating she asks whats wrong with it
Told her it has to stop as its eating fir the sake of eating.
Losing on average 1/2 to 1lb aday at present but doing heavy work.

Gives me a goal i must be fit my resting heart rate drops to 42bpm ! just need to lose the weight but going ok as im sub 15st now so its paying off !
I think your fingers are greener than mine Martin. Had enough last weekend with it all. Fortunately in Cornwall for a while so escape any further wife’s bidding

My FITBIT wrist monitor has now been renamed FATBIT as it's telling me Im failing in everything I do, how can that be when Im not doing ANYTHING let alone EVERYTHING!!!!!!!! Let's test its durability under my club-hammer.

It's tough at the moment, but I'm so glad I have my garden and my bike to keep me engaged. Poor MrsW isn't coping so well though. She spends most of the day peering through the front room window. I really don't know how to help her. I suppose I could let her in, but rules are rules.....

That is low. Mine drops to 50 and doc doesn't like that.
They are looking into it as sleep Apnea seems to be in the family,i have been monitered but it was not sensitive enough so waiting again but they have more pressing matters at the moment than me stopping breathing.
My lads must have been bird watching too Tony I'm sure our Tom told James that there's a nice pair of tits next doorHa,ha. I’ve been watching the Mallards on the lake next door Andy, and it’s easy to see they don’t have CV on their minds!

Due to working from home I now have a bit of extra time with no travel to work, 30 mins power walk on the treadmill first thing, a 30 min power walk round the farm after lunch and a 60 min power walk further afield after work, feeling great.

Another thread heads for the gutter.
I normally eat well and generally keep myself fit, however for some reason I am finding solace in food right now, not sure why but I am really loving my food, mainly bad stuff that I wouldn't normally eat
A little of what you fancy does you good I was always told. I also think your body tells you sometimes to eat certain things for a reason.

Well the upside of all of this for me is the losing weight as already mentioned by Dave, but the upside for Dave is for years he's been saying why don't you grow your hair, well he's about to get his wish.
Off course there's a downside (there always is, isn't there) I'm not sure how long i can maintain my natural
blonde locks.
I am sorry to say i was one of those naughty people who stockpiled - i think i might be able to maintain the blond for probably 6 to 12months
then it's back to brown and heaven forbid grey. You all just have to hope it doesn't come to that as there will no hope for Dave

I spent January and February running my still making Vodka (its legal here in N.Z.). Made enough for 18 months normal consumption. With this lockdown I should be able to make it last 12 months, so no problem with the liquor shops being closed.
Jue suggested we do 30 minutes walking in the garden to keep moving. Great idea but........
