Probably 5-10 kilos, but I can't say for sure as I've been avoiding the scale.

Can't be that bad, I think my scales are avoiding me...

You're both doing it wrong. If you never owned one to begin with, avoiding doesn't enter in to it.

I don't know, I just broke the scale in half when I checked.

I lost 42lbs in 3 months, but it's not covid related.

When I was sick in March I lost a few pounds. Struggling with energy deficiency since I've more than gained it back.

You forgot "Lost more than 5 kilos". I've lost somewhere between 1 and 1.5 stone.
* Avoided COVID (isolated in basement while it coughed it's way through the house above me - actually only the wife brought it home, probably, textbook symptoms bu no test)
* Spent less time sitting, as no driving, and in fact I think less time in front of computer, learned that that just leads to constant pandemic-status-checking which ain't mental healthy
* Spent more time active, sorted out garden (now tidiest it's been in 20yrs), started to sort out house inside too, actually made the diy list shorter for once
* Was rationing food in the beginning when we were living out of cupboards / freezer and only small deliveries
* More time to cook means more home cooked stuff (I mostly cooked from scratch anyway, but even more so now) - convenience food isn't when you can't just nip out to the shop
* Eating wider range of stuff, due to both new weekly veg box delivery (from a guy who used to be a veggie events catering business pre-covid) giving us a wider range of stuff I might not ever buy, and sorting out the cupboards and using up weird stuff that's been there for years
* [big one, probably] Not physically going food shopping means I don't pick up the impulse purchases and reduced price bargains, much of which is high-sugar rubbish - in store, 10p doughnuts, can't leave em behind, online, don't ever see em
