Millennials vs all the other generations gained the most weight over the past year.
I think part of it is living in an apartment, as fewer millennials own homes than other generations do. It’s hard to get any cardiovascular activity in if you are in an apartment or condo living above people and you don’t have access to a gym or good weather. They are also the generation most likely to have small children at home, which can make it hard if your prior routine was to go to the gym and drop your kids off in the gym childcare center.
That said, 41 pounds seems absolutely outrageous. I gained about 8, partially due to a medication change, but I don’t think my fitness level has decreased.
Sort of hard to stay in shape when all the gyms were closed for a year. Unless you live in an area with good weather like California, and/or can afford to build your home gym and have room for a home gym, gaining weight over 2020 is pretty much a given.
This. Even here in California lots of people put on weight due to all of the unconstitutional lock downs perpetrated by our nazi governor. Nationwide we have all spent a year sitting on our respective butts watching tv and hiding inside from the China virus.
Colorado is literally the least obese state last time I checked. Your area might be an anomaly. I don't have a hard time believing it based on my own anecdotal experience. I know people in their 20s well north of 300lbs who were at a normal weight in high school. I wouldn't believe it either if I didn't see it
What is the point of that? Unless you make NFL lineman, you are asking for trouble. Knee replacement, disability application. Too fat to work, so I get disability. And food stamps.
Good god... how do you manage to gain 41 pounds in a single year?!
That's almost 1 pound per week, doing some rough math you would have to be eating something like an excess of 500 calories per day for a whole year. And of course this excess is added to the total calories required to maintain weight which increases as you gain more weight.
I couldn't gain this much weight on purpose even if I tried. Not to mention the price of food has inflated pretty substantially in the past year. Where do these fat bastards get so much money to bulk up like this? Stimulus checks?
Consuming 500 extra calories a day is easy enough.
3 cans of soda would do it.
About 10,000 incremental steps a day would burn it.
Not this one. In my mid 30s and did a strict diet plus home workouts and weight lifting. Also successfully quit alcohol.
Congrats. It's a lot harder to do the work than just sit on the couch and live life from your phone.
