Lockdown Shirt Collar Barometer

[RobertR65]

During lock down, when isolating, I decided to try my “Sunday Shirt and Tie”, this is my barometer for weight gain. Not possible to fasten collar!! Nightmare! So back on “regime” - I don’t do diets! Last time it was no “white stuff” potatoes,rice, pasta etc. This time no “B’s”. No bread, biscuits, booze, beer, butter (spreads) and no “bags” (crisps). Working well, 9lbs down in 3 1/2 weeks. Snacking, always a weakness now limited to prunes, dried apricots and almonds! Target dates set and hopefully will look smart and tidy, with fastened collar, when Sunday shirt needed again!! Come on folks, if this 75 year old granddad can do it!! Also got a step counter watch and try to get my 10000 a day in, which I normally achieve without going out of the garden. Good luck to all.

Shirt collars are a great barometer for you gentlemen, you are sounding very positive

Wishing you luck. Don't cut the real butter though, it is good for you and watch those apricots, a lot of sugar in dried fruit

I tell my weight by clothes not scales too. I like the no ‘Bs’ thing, I’ve never heard that one before.

Hi Robert65 sounds like you have a good plan there and hope it is going well. I know I can't touch biscuits etc as it is a nightmare waiting to happen

You can keep your prunes though 🤣

Good luck with it all
