Lost or Gained in Your Retirement

[NickyLouie]

For the retirees, have you lost or gained weight here?

[KhunLA]

Both, gained, loss, gained, loss, though not different than before retirement.

 

Although now, past 10 ish years, have a constant weight I'm quite happy with.  Credit that to intermittent fasting, (daily), and stop eating around 2100-2359 hr - until about noon the next day.   

 

So 12-15 hrs, and half of that is while sleeping.  Coffee and stay occupied in the AM, with no hunger desires.  Easiest way I've ever maintained a steady weight, once past 35 ish years old.

Lost a few kg by improving the diet, only little junk, more exercise, now as healthy, fit and perfect weight as I've ever been

Went from just under 100kg to just over 70kg in the past 10 years.

I hit 100kg here, and talk about feeling uncomfortable.  Been as low as 78kg, which I felt really small at.  Got out of boot camp (US Army) @ 75kg.

 

I'm comfy between 80-84kg, any bigger and I'm uncomfortable.  80kg seems to stick for past 5 years.  Good to have a couple kgs extra, in case I get sick   Better than too thin, in case body needs some fuel.

I’m a little lighter now.  I still keep up with my exercise routine but now I only have 2 meals per day with a healthy snack in between.

Went from 68 to 74kg and had to buy some new jeans as the old ones were too tight. Couldn't get on with the fit of the new jeans so went back down to 68kg so I could fit into the old ones again.

I lost a little due to eating less junk food than in America, and bicycling 4-5 days a week. Lost about 2-3kg, currently at about 66kg, I'm not tall so it's a good weight for me.

Most of The Tour De France cyclists ride at around that weight. They are elite super fit athletes. Bet they have tons of stamina in the bedroom too.

low 90s - same as before. I eat similar amount, drink more(!), but exercise a lot more in my gym - so that helps me maintain my status quo.

Lost weight because I read all those catching interesting posts here. No time for eating😂

[Lacessit]

I normally put on weight in Australia, different food. 100 kg.

 

I made an effort to lose weight here, went from 93 kg to 78 kg in six months a couple of years ago. Back out to 83 kg.

About the same but somehow bigger. I've lost muscle and added an equal amount of more voluminous fat.

Thai food and drinks very high in sugar unless you are picky. Not sure how you would lose more weight in Thailand based on food. Generally people over 70yo lose their appetite for eating much so it's a natural thing.

When I first moved here the first year I lost weight.  Then I started gaining it all back.  For about the last year I have lost about 21 kilos.  Intermitent fasting and low carb sugar.  It also helped with my blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar.  Specially blood sugar.

My best weight is 62Kg but haven't been that for years 65Kg is OK but have now crept up to 68Kg. tried to diet but my gf's cooking always wins.

Couple that with my age and I think I've given up worrying!

All here seems happy with 0.0 beer.
