I did buy some summer clothes in the November last year. I gained about 15/16 lbs during lockdown so although I could get into them, all I saw was a fat face and stomach so I put them away again. I have lost 10 lbs [121bs on the rare, good day] so they fit fine now. I seem to have plateaued this week and haven't lost an ounce but at least my face isn't fat though my tummy is still pudgy. But even when I'd lost just 5lbs the difference it made to my legs was immense. Now I am halfway back to normal. I didn't count calories, I just didn't eat anything that had no nutritional value [except finishing off the Hagen Daz in small portions
]. I can't believe how often I picked up a small kit kat or blue riband while waiting for the kettle to boil. Then that one became two or even three to have with the drink I'd made. My treats for the last 6 weeks have been an occasional Jacob's Cream Cracker which I love -dry, buttered, or a bit of marmite.
I had a lot of thin but large pork steaks with bone in the freezer. I roasted each one in a bag with peppers, chillies, spinach, anything available. They were absolutely beautiful but I reluctantly managed to cut off the fat which was also perfectly cooked - and that was very, very hard to do.
