After the first few days of grappling with the pandemic, I noticed I'd lost a little weight. Damn little - maybe a pound over the first week or so. But it was something. Then it spiked back up a bit, then back down a bit, and so on. It seems like I'm consuming less food, but I'm not getting as much exercise either, so that might be a sum-zero proposition. Still trying to figure out if I can turn one little tiny piece of this calamity to something good, but not convinced it's going to work.
How about you? Any noticeable change in the P factor? (Pudgy.)

I lost nearly two or three when I had a bad cold earlier this year, then gained a bit back and now I've dropped back below 180. I'm not sure that I'm consuming fewer calories, but since I'm still a couch potato, that's the only explanation. Maybe my five mini-meals a day are each a little smaller.
(The dramatic loss--ten pounds plus--came a couple years ago when my myasthenia gravis presented and I had trouble eating for the month or two before it was identified and addressed. I then regained about half of the loss for a while.)

No change. I'm eating a bit more but also getting more exercise. My metabolism is such that my weight variations are between lean and not quite as lean.

My morphology is not very lean to not lean at all.

My weight has been the same thing for 45 years - 162lb.
I had low weight 130lb when I had my stroke - 2013. I got better..
I had all those virulent influenzas in Christmas 2019. It went down to 130.
I still have the same weight - but I haven’t seen a scale.
I’m a normal person.
Nobody calls me a normal person.

At 179 I'm a good 30 pounds (and 40 years) over my perfect weight.

When negative things/situations occur I always try to find a way to make something positive out of it/them. Isolation due to the Corona virus is certainly a negative. My plan then became, loose a bunch of unwanted weight, write and record a bunch of new music, get the keyboard out of the basement and learn how to play something on it, and get back in touch with some old friends, all while staying in shape. I've been busy and my plan is working.

My weight has always been perfect for my height, which varies. (I stole that from an old Sylvia comic.)
In reality, the virus and the shutdown have not impacted my weight at all. Still walking 2 1/2 miles daily. Not snacking. Maybe drinking a little more. Mostly eating healthy foods.

I'm probably about the same -- 5-10 lbs overweight. Dar fixed me a cherry pie yesterday and even as I type this, she is in the kitchen fixing a peach pie and a blueberry pie.
The escape I have allowed myself is longer runs in the woods. Rather than my usual 4 miles every other day, I'm running 5 or 6 and taking the "technical trails" -- the steeper hills. The only time I feel good these days is when I'm sweaty and exhausted.

We are doing 2 meals a day.
The first runs from 8am until 10:30am.
The second starts at 1pm and ends at 6:25pm.

I think I've put a bit of weight on. Not sure. No scales. Clothes still fit.

This whole thread is so depressing I’m going to have some ice cream.

I've lost quite a bit of weight in the past year, have more to go, and certainly don't want to gain any back. My goal has to keep exercising through this. I'm doing it, but finding it very difficult to talk myself into when it should be easy to do these days. I'm holding steady, which is good, and about all I can ask for.

I went in the hospital at 180. At last weighing I was 154.

I have lost a bit, though carving a toothpick off a redwood is hard to notice. I attribute the loss to fewer oversized restaurant meals and the tempting desserts atop the little table flag.

I don't have a scale at home, but feel like I have maybe gained a little weight. I am attributing most of that to added facial hair.

I have lost some weight. Maybe ten pounds. Maybe 7-8. There is some fuzziness about the starting point. I have made two Culvers runs in the last month, but other than those two heavenly trips, I haven't had any junk food, fast food, or candy bars. (it feels so odd to leave a gas station with nothing but gas...no diet coke, no candy bar, no chips, just gas... for the car, assholes)

Oddly enough, working from home with the kitchen right downstairs, I snack at my desk less than when I was in the office. Down a few pounds.
