ugh more bad news, my biggest motivation was my wedding in June, this has now been moved out to Feb next year so with all the k@k going on this has demotivated me even more. But alas I shall cry over my bag of Doritoes tonight and continue in the morning. Time to reevaluate and readjust a new game plan.

On the plus side, you have longer to get to your goal or to cement healthy habits to maintain the eight that you lose.

Keep going. It's still worth it :)

Same! This goddamn word from home **** is killing me. When I am at work I have no issue fasting for days on end, now at home its just to easy to eat. Also with the wife being around it's coffee all day and snakes and lunch....

Need to get a new plan to handle this quarantine.

I'm used to being at home having been retrenched last year, but this not being able to go on walks is messing with me. Started beginner's HIIT sessions (just a 6 minute warm-up, 20 minute HIIT session and a 2 minute cooldown) on YT two days ago, my muscles are already feeling it. Today I have plans to organise some long overdue messy cupboards and push through another HIIT session. It's not 10,000 steps, but at least it's something. Up 100g since my weigh-in 2 weeks ago, which, considering my "diet" over the past two weeks, is not too bad. Get back on the wagon, it helps with your overall outlook mentally too! And just think how much less you'll have to stress getting closer to your new wedding date if you keep up your efforts from now, instead of gaining more weight now and then panicking all over again closer to the new date?
 
Monday morning weigh in: 98.5kgs

It feels good to be below that 100 mark again. Haven't seen that since 2012.

Yeah I am back on it from today, I woke up yesterday with news that one of my collages is now going on leave for three week... So I will need to pick up his work. At least I would now be incredibility busy basically 24/7 so hopefully I can get my mojo back.

I'm working a full day from home and trying to mimic normal routine so not too tempted to snack more than usual.

Also tried to stock up on healthy whole foods during the lockdown and avoid convenience or processed food.
 
80.6 kg this week despite eating fairly Ok. Didn't exercise as much as usual though in the cold weather. Back on it this week.
 
Up 100g since last week's weigh-in. Started a HIIT beginner's daily workout via YT and been sticking to 16/8 IF, so a tad disappointed, but the BF did make a killer sourdough loaf that we all but flattened over the weekend, so it could have been worse I guess :P
 
Down to 92.5kg from 103.1kg in just under 3 months.
My initial goal was to drop to 93kg with fat loss, but moving that to 90kg since I still have some to shed. Joining my gyms daily zoom workout sessions, doing youtube spin classes and bought a pull up bar - so that's my lockdown workouts.

Crazy to think how much fat we carry on our bodies... if someone told me to carry a 10kg backpack all day, everyday - it would be unpleasant.

Well done. Do you have a way of measuring your Body Fat % - scales or calipers? Probably good at this point to look at that to help you determine where you should go from here.

Yeah, my gym had someone come in with one of those fancy inbody scan machines.
Sadly though due to lockdown I can't tell where I'm at now though..

Reading gave good insight on muscle mass and body fat
 
So ive broken the 100 mark back down into double digits, initially only by 100g, but winning is winning.
Should see some more results this week.

Working form home is not ideal, the wife has all sorts of snacks and offers frequently.

Train daily, how and what I can with the limited equipment I have at home.
 
Eating 1700 calories right now.

I don't feel good at all tbh
